Melanie
Occupational Therapist, Yoga Teacher & Founder of Therapy Wings Australia

Melanie was drawn to Occupational Therapy because her curiosity spans countless areas of life.
Once she immerses herself in something, her genuine passion drives her to make a meaningful impact.
With over 8 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist across two countries, Melanie has cultivated a rich understanding of diverse therapeutic perspectives, frameworks, and approaches, which deeply inform and enhance her daily practice.
​
Fluent in two languages, Melanie leverages her bilingual skills and is a registered Occupational Therapist in both Germany and Australia. In Germany, she also shares her expertise as a lecturer for Occupational Therapy students, offering her clients a global perspective on care.
