about me

about me

My fascination with children, development and learning has been life-long. I worked for 18 years in government, 14+ years at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. I run a comprehensive paediatric private practice from home.  
‍
I was a long-time part-time lecturer/clinical supervisor for UCT’s O.T. Department, I  presented papers on occupational therapy at international and national congresses, and have presented many paediatric courses in South Africa as well as a few in neighbouring countries.  I have attended many varied lectures and training courses over the past 40 years, from door gardening to music related to heart beats.  Professionally, I have many tools in my tool box, significantly neuro-developmental, sensory integration, sensory modulation and play therapy.  

I completed my Msc. Occupational Therapy in April 2021, my thesis title being Exploring the use of play in health promotion: Perspectives originating from the continent of Africa.  My two children and husband have taught me many a valuable lesson.

Over the past year, we have had multiple struggles, Mush has gone over and above what is required to support our family through these stressful times. My son absolutely loves his weekly sessions with Mush.

  • Mush is an incredible OT and I highly recommend her to anyone. She is such a lovely person and we felt completely comfortable from the first moment we met. My son absolutely adores Mush and loves his sessions. He gets so excited to see her and has improved greatly with her help.
