We are so incredibly proud of Cayleigh & Tasneem who both handed in their Sensory Integration protocols last week. This took a huge amount of work and just shows their commitment & dedication to their professional development. They are both almost done with their Sensory Integration training. A huge achievement! Well done ladies.

Des is excellent and we would highly recommend both her ante-natal classes and her midwife support.

This is where Occupational Therapy and DIR Floortime align so nicely. We want children to build competence, confidence & ultimately independence. The goal should never be compliance.

"Evidence is showing that learning does not happen based on compliance. Learning happens through curiosity, connection, and co-regulation, which are the cornerstones of a developmental model and a DIRFloortime approach."

We would like to welcome a new member to our team! Welcome Kerry 😊

I am Kerriska Naidu, an Occupational Therapist who graduated from the University of Kwazulu Natal with an Honours Degree in Occupational Therapy. I completed my community service in an array of facilities, having met many people and children from different backgrounds. I thoroughly enjoy paediatric OT & find joy in being able to work with the little hands which hold our future. I strongly believe that each child has potential to live a fulfilling life & being able to facilitate the building blocks of their development enables me to serve with joy and enthusiasm.

Just wanted to share this (from Tam) as it’s something I’m hoping I can build into the practice one day: supporting new moms.

I just thought I’d share a little of my testimony on God’s faithfulness. Just after Joao & I got engaged I developed a weird lung condition & had to have major surgery. Following this was 7 years of bleeding in my lung, coughing up significant amounts of blood, chest pain and shortness of breath. I saw multiple doctors across the country and even sent my stuff to doctors in the USA & no one was able to give me a diagnosis. There was a long period of time where I was told that I couldn’t have a baby because it was too risky & my lung might not handle the load of carrying and delivering a baby. I prayed over this for a long time and eventually my condition just stabilised and my Pulmonologist gave us the go ahead to try for a baby. Because of us being much older it was recommended that we give IVF a go as a way to try move things along quicker. We did 2 rounds of IVF, both of which were a total failure & we felt so much despair. Once again I prayed & prayed and God gifted us with this beautiful little boy who was conceived completely naturally! Our little miracle.

Then two months into having Dylan I developed a really severe case of Post Partum Anxiety which lasted for 8 weeks. This was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through! Feeling like I couldn’t cope but still having to show up for my little boy every day felt like an insurmountable challenge. But once again God was faithful and he pulled me out of the pit.

I know of so many moms who have gone through post partum anxiety or depression and they believe that it’s “just what it feels like to be a mom”. I’ve realised how little awareness & support there is for moms. I hope I can use my experience to encourage and help others.

Today we had 2 special visitors at the practice. Tamaryn brought little Dylan for his first visit to his mommy’s work! So that everyone could practice some baby assessment. And we had a visit from a student busy doing her electives. It’s been lovely having her!

So proud of Janet & Tasneem who are both busy with their Sensory Integration training this week! These ladies constantly show a huge amount of commitment to constantly bettering themselves as therapists. I couldn’t ask for better therapists to have at the practice!
