Carla is an Occupational Therapist working in Durbanville and has been a part of KWELA since 2011 when she started as a student facilitator. KWELA helped her realise her passion for helping children develop and grow to reach their full potential. Since graduating, she has worked in Port Elizabeth where she worked in both a private practice and school setting, as well as assisting with a parent support group for parents with children who are differently-abled. In 2020 she returned to the Western Cape, where she has been working in a Sensory Integration Occupational Therapy practice and is completing her formal training in Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) this year. Apart from ASI, she is also trained in the implementation of play therapy strategies, which she uses in helping children overcome emotional difficulties.

When not purposefully playing at the practice, she enjoys being outdoors, camping, reading, painting and playing the flute. She also enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends.

Hi! I am Elana. I’m a dynamic OT with 7+ years of clinical experience and a deep passion for working with children. I completed my studies at the University of the Free State (2017), followed by a research master’s degree (2021) focusing on paediatric therapy and Ayres Sensory Integration—areas close to my heart. In 2024, I completed my formal ASI certification, further equipping me to support children through sensory-informed intervention.

Currently, I manage a busy paediatric caseload at Kenridge Occupational Therapy, where I prioritise meaningful outcomes for the children and families I serve.
I believe that caring for others starts with caring for yourself. I strive to bring a grounded, balanced, and ethical approach to every part of my work—treating each client with the respect and dignity they deserve.
