Occupational therapy tailored to support you to achieve your goals and full potential.
Welcome to Life Evolve OT
I’m Rosie, a fully qualified occupational therapist. I’m registered with AHPRA and a member of Occupational Therapy Australia. My professional experience is diverse and spans various settings and locations. Between Sydney and London, where I spent five years, I’ve worked across government disability services, government housing services, inpatient rehabilitation, community private practice, and community neurological rehabilitation.
I’m committed to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities and chronic health conditions by facilitating accessibility and independence in their everyday environments. I have experience supporting clients with varied and complex needs to achieve their goals and aspirations, using an evidence-based approach. This covers a diverse range of neurological disability, musculoskeletal and chronic health conditions such as dementia, MS, stroke and COPD.
Life Evolve is equipped to provide support in the areas of manual handling, assistive technology, home modifications, falls prevention, functional capacity assessments, seating assessments, capacity building, and rehabilitation.
Based on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, we provide person-centred occupational therapy assessment and intervention across Sydney metropolitan and surrounding areas. As well as providing in-person home visits, Life Evolve offers online telehealth appointments so location is not a barrier to providing you with support.
Using a personalised approach ensures that every step of your journey is supported with care and expertise. My focus is on understanding your unique needs and aspirations so that together we can craft a plan to realise your goals. Your story is at the heart of Life Evolve’s practice, driving us to adapt and evolve alongside you.
