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 as something that needs treatment.
Movefluent offers occupational therapy sessions in clinic in the inner west of Sydney and online via telehealth. I work with neurodivergent adults, adolescents and children, as well as offering parent sessions for families with children.
I do not currently offer Functional Capacity Assessments.
If this approach feels like it could be a good fit for you or your family, I’d love to hear from you.
