So many new followers here, so let me properly introduce myself — I’m Carol, the Director of Sensia Allied Health.
I graduated as an Occupational Therapist in 2011 with a big heart, a lot of ambition, and honestly, no real idea just how many twists and turns this path would bring.
Just over a decade ago, I took the leap (equal parts exciting and terrifying) and founded The OT Clinic which I later rebranded to Sensia Allied Health. Since then, I’ve been growing this business while raising my most important team at home too — I’m a proud mum of four little ones.
And if I’m being real, this journey has been a mix of the highest highs and the toughest lows.
The highs have been incredible — watching clients reach goals they once thought were out of reach, seeing our team expand, and building something that truly makes a difference. But those moments have come with plenty of behind-the-scenes challenges: late nights, big decisions, the constant responsibility, and a business landscape that never stays still — evolving laws and compliance, staff changes and intentions, and seasons where it felt like the goalposts moved every time we found our footing.
And then there’s the mum guilt, the constant pull between showing up fully at home and staying committed to the vision. Feeling stretched, questioning myself, and learning (over and over) that “balance” isn’t something you arrive at — it’s something you keep practicing, one day at a time.
What I’ve learnt is that success isn’t about avoiding hard seasons — it’s about resilience, staying grounded in your values, and holding steady to the long-term vision even when the short-term feels chaotic. It takes consistency, courage, discipline, and the willingness to keep going even when it may be uncomfortable.
From humble beginnings, working 7 days a week and volunteering at endless clinics - to having a team of over 30 - working and changing lives every single day.
I'm so proud of the journey so far, and even more excited for what's to come.
Let's go 2026 💫 👊🏼
