Hello, I am Bec Secombe, an Occupational Therapist of 13 years, visual artist, arts psychotherapy student and wellbeing advocate. Throughout my career I have worked in the education system, private practice, hospital settings and in community development in both Australia and rural Cambodia. I also teach occupational therapy students. Throughout my life I have personally experienced the impact of
life changing illness and understand the importance of a streamlined, caring and empathetic health service. Occupational Therapy is based on the premise that human beings operate at their best when engaging in activity that is meaningful. Therefore OT's enable and empower people to optimise their health and wellbeing, so that they can participate in a fulfilling life. With training in human anatomy, physiology, psychology and human development, we understand people from a holistic perspective.
