Shelby loves that she is able to hold space for someone during what is typically a difficult chapter of their life. She loves seeing her clients grow in confidence as they start learning new skills and engaging in occupations that bring them joy. Shelby strives to work collaboratively with individuals, their families & surrounding supports ensuring a holistic service is being provided.

After a recent move to the Sunshine Coast, Shelby is excited to soak up new adventures. She enjoys the beach, learning to surf, gym, boxing, bush walking, spending time with her puppy, reading and picnics.
