OUR STORY
Welcome to Wholistic Therapy, where we believe in living life to the fullest. Taylor and Kate, both avid surfers, travellers, and nature enthusiasts, founded Wholistic Therapy. Taylor and Kate have also completed their Master of Science in Medicine (Sexual and Reproductive Health) at the University of Sydney. The former surf instructors bonded over their passion for using Occupation as therapy. They are both known for being warm, open, and passionate.
​
Wholistic Therapy brings together over 15 years of combined Occupational Therapy experience. Our expertise extends across various healthcare settings, including acute hospital care, inpatient rehabilitation, community outreach, NDIS, aged care, paediatric services, mental health, and program development. We have delivered care in metropolitan, regional, and rural communities and take immense pride in implementing evidence-based methodologies while addressing the holistic needs of individuals, including their physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and environmental needs.
​
Occupational Therapy, to us, embodies the essence of embracing life in its entirety. Our overarching mission is to foster a sense of connection and empowerment. Our guiding principle, "Don't just live, thrive!" reflects our dedication to enhancing quality of life.
