IMG_2193_edited_edited.png

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.

​

Melanie has been fortunate in her career to explore diverse areas of Occupational Therapy, including aged care, neurorehabilitation, disability services, and paediatrics. Throughout her journey, she has remained a full-time employee while undertaking intensive professional development to enhance her skills.
