Lumen Occupational Therapy was founded on a simple belief — that every person deserves a thorough, thoughtful assessment that looks at how a condition is affecting them as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.

Lumen Occupational Therapy was built around a genuine curiosity about people — and a belief that the best assessments come from truly understanding how a condition is affecting someone’s whole life, not just ticking boxes.
My journey to occupational therapy wasn’t straightforward — and I think that’s part of what makes me good at it. I started with a Bachelor of Commerce in Sports Management at Curtin University, before following my curiosity into health science and ultimately completing a Master of Occupational Therapy at Charles Darwin University.
That background in business turned out to be one of the most formative things I brought to occupational therapy. It shaped the way I think — analytically, systemically, and always with the bigger picture in mind. Combined with my health science and OT training, it gave me a genuinely different lens: the ability to see each person not just as a clinical presentation, but as someone navigating a unique set of circumstances, priorities, and goals. No two people are the same, and no two assessments should be either.
I founded Lumen Occupational Therapy to focus on the areas I’m most passionate about: low vision assessments, and working in the community supporting ageing people to stay in their homes longer and safer. When someone’s independence is affected by an injury, medical diagnosis, or the ageing process, they lose far more than just a task — being part of helping them reclaim that is incredibly meaningful work.
Lumen is built around the idea that every person deserves a thorough, thoughtful assessment. I love the puzzle — digging into how a condition is affecting someone as a whole person, and providing clear, clinical recommendations that actually help move things forward.
Outside of work, I’m a mum first and foremost. My family keeps me grounded — weekends are for the beach, hiking trails, and camping trips that remind me why independence and being able to do the things you love matters so much.
I’m also on a very serious mission to find the best coffee in Adelaide. If you have a recommendation, I genuinely want to know.
My greatest strength — and if I’m honest, my greatest weakness — is my empathy. I care deeply about the people I work with. I want to hear their story, understand what they’re navigating, and genuinely help them move forward. That’s not something I switch off at the end of a clinical day, and I think that’s exactly the kind of OT I want to be.
Every service Lumen OT offers is built around the same principle — thorough, independent, evidence-based occupational therapy that gives clients and referrers the clarity they need to move forward.
Vision changes can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to safely and confidently complete everyday activities. We provide specialist low vision assessments to understand how a vision impairment is affecting daily function, and to identify practical strategies and equipment that support continued independence.
Lumen OT provides community-based occupational therapy including Supports at Home aged care home safety assessments, assistive technology trials, prescription and minor home modifications — helping people of all ages live safely and independently at home.
Vision changes can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to safely and confidently complete everyday activities. Our specialist low vision assessments help identify practical strategies and equipment that support continued independence.
A low vision assessment looks beyond a clinical eye chart result — it looks at how vision loss is actually affecting someone’s daily life. Reading, cooking, mobility within the home, and community access can all be impacted in different ways depending on the nature of the vision loss.
We take the time to understand exactly how a person’s vision is affecting their function, then identify practical, individualised strategies and equipment that genuinely make a difference.
The goal is always the same — helping people continue doing the things that matter to them, safely and with confidence.

Home is more than a place — it’s independence, routine, and identity. Our aged care occupational therapy services are built around one simple goal: helping people stay in their own home for as long as possible, safely and on their own terms.
Good aged care OT isn’t just about identifying risks — it’s about understanding what a person values, what they want their days to look like, and what it would take to keep them living the life they choose.
With the right combination of services, equipment, and a few considered modifications to the home environment, most people can stay where they want to be — at home, independent, and engaged in the activities that matter most to them.
That’s what we work toward with every aged care client. Not just a safer home, but a fuller life within it.
A comprehensive home safety assessment evaluates the home environment and the person’s functional ability within it — identifying risks, barriers, and opportunities to make the home safer and more supportive of independent living.
We look at every area of the home and every aspect of daily function, and provide clear, practical recommendations that can be acted on — whether that’s through minor adjustments, equipment, or referral to other services.
The right piece of equipment at the right time can make an enormous difference to someone’s independence and safety at home. Assistive technology assessment ensures that equipment recommendations are tailored to the individual — their home, their abilities, and their goals — rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
We assess, recommend, and where appropriate, prescribe and trial assistive technology to support safe and independent daily living.
