Look who worked at the clinic for his first day today. Jasper the Therapy Dog! He helped quite a few children transition to their new therapist. Made some firm friends.

Farmwork is great for tackling many skill areas at once. Here Kate uses the communication device to develop speech and language goals, and the mortar and pestle develops fine motor strength and coordination. And the result - we crush the tablets for Hercules and make palatable snacks for his daily medicine dosage. Thanks Gadara Farm for having us.

This would be GREAT for parents and carers who expect hectic holidays. Time to yourself for a bit of peace and personal reflection after New Year.

Join Sarah Munn and the animals for a unique healing and transformational journey immersed in the gentle presence of animals and nature at Gadara Farm.

Thank you for your votes. Sarah Munn aced it, showing outstanding support from our community.

Excellence In Integrative Collaboration. We did it. Thank you for ALL the support to win this award. Thank you Bodhi Holistic Hub I am so delighted with the award for a few reasons.

Firstly, I have always been Holistic. I believe I was born with the ability to see a person completely. OT has supported this with our ability to assess all areas of life in a holistic way. The gentle analysis of mind, body and spirit by the observation of everyday activities. Motivation, environment, roles and general life are all considered. Anything from dressing yourself to engaging in hobbies, work, relationships and relaxation. OT is and always has been Holistic.

Secondly, it is a passion of mine to integrate ancient wisdom and complementary approaches into my sessions. Weaving energy, nature and animals into the fabric of my OT practice results in the whole basket being greater than the sum of its parts.

And thirdly, my practice has integrated OT, speech pathology, teaching, art therapy, equine assisted counselling with other services and sessions like reiki, massage, African drumming, kundalini yoga, voluntary and work experience opportunities. Throw in some animals at the farm and a couple of wheelbarrows of dirt and the science is complete.

In my opinion. This IS the future of healthcare. Qualified and registered professionals learning the approaches which blend some magic into the mix of evidence based practices.
