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.
