The Empowerment Project - Allied Health Care

Clients are not just another number to us. Through this approach, we strive for empowerment, confidence, strength, perseverance and self-love.

The Empowerment Project was founded to create a unique Allied Health Service that assists you to not only reach your physical goals, but to accomplish far beyond and create the best version of yourself holistically. As the name suggests, The Empowerment Project (TEP) was established to empower, encourage and help participants reach their goals by looking at the person as a whole and considering their emotional, mental and social well-being and not just their disability. Our central premise is to practice a holistic approach whilst we work with our participants and their family to provide the most suited, evidence-based interventions to achieve their goals. We are not just ordinary Allied Health providers and we want our participants to get the most out of their funding. To help with that,

- We provide free consultations with no obligation
- We do not charge for travel fees!
- We are happy to consult over the phone or face to face in the comfort of your home
- We are working after-hours
- We are trusted by many
- We deliver results and you can trust us on that
- We service all of Greater Sydney

Using a person-centred and holistic approach, she takes her time to really understand your story, what is important to you and how other factors in your life may influence your condition. From the initial assessment, an individualised and comprehensive evaluation is developed and Tamana will work collaboratively with you to set goals that support your specific needs. She understands that she is not treating your condition, she is treating a person who needs to be able to take care of their family or a child who wants to simply be able to play with their friends.

Tamana has an undeniable passion for personal development. In her spare time, she also enjoys going to the gym and socialising with friends. She is fluent in English, German and Farsi and can speak some French too, so don’t be shy to teach her another word or two.
