we truly care

We care about the children who are struggling at home, in school, in the playground, or at sports clubs.

We care about children who are suffering with mental health issues because they have such low self esteem & confidence.

We care about the impact your child's difficulties have on your family life & its relationships.

We care about the future; making health care accessible, early intervention achievable and having resources & workshops easily available.

We want to build a community spirit of empowerment, health promotion and positivity.

we have the experience

We have over a decade working within a number of communities supporting children and families with a wide range of difficulties.  

We have worked in a Specialist Developmental Coordination Disorder Team, supporting children & families at home, school and  in after school activities. 

We have worked within Child Development Centres for babies & toddlers with physical or specific learning disabilities.

We have managed Education Collaboration Projects including working in schools for children with profound & moderate physical and learning disabilities.

We have worked in an international, specialised environment, supporting children using a Sensory Integration Approach to practice.

I can’t recommend Marie highly enough. Marie was my rock and aid I needed when we were struggling with Shea’s sensory needs at home and couldn’t avail of services.

I can’t thank Marie enough, her approach, skills and insight are amazing. She is very confidant and her desire to help children is admirable.

Over the last few years she has provided me with the right information and advice to transform my boy’s life and help him with his sensory issues and sleep patterns.

Thank you again for such professional service with a welcoming and caring approach.

Feeling overwhelmed & frustrated, we were referred to Marie and have seen our circumstance take a turn for a better.

Marie took the time to connect with Evan and relate with him on a 1:1 basis. She was compassionate & empathetic; listening to us & learning about Evan as an individual, his struggles, abilities and identified areas where Occupational Therapy would help.

As his parent it was important that I felt connected and I was very comfortable opening up to Marie.

We can honestly say that we have seen a positive change in Evan.

Marie is a fantastic Occupational Therapist and I would highly recommend her services to all who are lucky enough to avail of them.
