More about me

I've lived in Hong Kong 11 years with my husband and 2 sons, Joshua, aged 17, and Leon, aged 15 and have worked in Hong Kong schools for all of that time.  Peak school being the longest with both my children going to that school also.
Prior to working in Hong Kong, we lived in Muscat where I set up the first non-government Children's Occupational Therapy service in Oman.  This was not an easy task.  Even getting permission to work was arduous with the Government stating I had to have a written letter from my husband stating he would let me work.  Gary enjoyed that!
This is where I started working in schools and also in family homes and my passion for this area of work developed.
I started work in Hong Kong splitting  my working week in a well known clinic when it was just 1 clinic (it expanded to 3 whilst I worked there) and 2 schools.  At the clinic, as a lead managing therapist, I asked to initiate  in-school therapy for several schools as this area was (and is) a real passion for me.  At that time, there were only a couple of schools with in-school therapy services and this expanded exponentially with my help.
6 years ago, I decided to prioritise working only in schools.  I was finding a higher level of success and job satisfaction in that role.  To be able to help the children and their parents where they are challenged the most, due to less ability for self direction, is so very important to me.  To link with teachers easily before/after sessions and make recommendations or classroom accommodations means instant changes occur and help empower the children.
