INSTRUCTOR

Occupational Therapist

Jennifer is a passionate and experienced occupational therapist (BsC OT) who has worked in the paediatric field since 2007, and has a heart for seeing children reach their full potential. She has a deep understanding of the difficulties in coping on a day-to-day basis with underlying sensory processing issues and behavioural concerns. Jennifer understands the impact of this in the child’s social setting, school environment as well as their place in the family; and thus, incorporates intervention in all areas. A gentle approach is used, incorporating mostly play as a means of treatment, to encourage children to reach their goals and improve overall functioning. Being a mother of 3, Jennifer longs to see heart to heart connection and healthy attachments between mother and child. Jennifer has developed Handwriting Programs which are implemented in schools across JHB, as well as fine motor courses for pre school children. Being an avid entrepreneur, Jennifer has also founded Acorns and Oaks: Equipment for Little People. Jennifer passionately trains and builds up young therapists with huge potential and is in love with the work she is called to do. Recently she has written a journal for children: My Happy Heart Journal, which promotes connection and regulation in the hearts of little people. TOPIC Living grounded functioning from a place of neurological regulation is key to optimizing our experience and joy in everyday life. The keys to regulation are important in both adults and children’s lives and provide the unlocking in reaching our full potential.
