Hi, I'm Manali!
Paediatric Occupational Therapist | MOT, BOT
I'm a passionate paediatric occupational therapist who believes every child deserves the chance to shine. With a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy, I combine clinical expertise with a warm, play-based approach that makes therapy feel like fun.
I love working with children and their families to overcome everyday challenges — whether it's developing fine motor skills for writing, building confidence for school, managing sensory sensitivities, or strengthening emotional connections at home.
I'm certified in Tuning into Kids, an evidence-based program that helps parents understand and respond to their children's big emotions, and in Sensory Integration therapy, supporting children who experience the world a little differently.
