About
Hi, my name is Natasha, but please call me Tash. I have a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Sydney and have spent the years since graduating working alongside neurodivergent individuals and families to support them in reaching their goals. ​
​
My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and holistic, embracing the perspectives, experiences and needs of each individual. I value and welcome diversity. I view diagnosis as a way of understanding ourselves, our bodies and our brains rather than something that needs treatment.
​
Movefluent is gradually transitioning to telehealth-only services due to the upcoming sale of the building where my clinic is based. I currently offer online support for adults and parent sessions for families with younger children. While some in-clinic appointments are still be available for existing clients, new sessions are now being offered with the understanding that they will eventually shift to telehealth.
​
New enquiries: I’m currently only adding people to my waitlist who are open to working via telehealth in the future. If this approach feels like it could be a good fit for you or your family, I’d love to hear from you.
