OT

We are committed to helping families achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. We believe that every person deserves to reach their full potential, and we are here to help them get there.
Your Therapist - Emily Mackaway
Emily has been an OT for over 12 years. She is a mum to 2 spirited little girls, one who is highly sensitive. She has grown up with a mum who is also an OT so you can say she has been around occupational therapy her entire life.
​
As a therapist, she has worked across the life span in community, hospitals and private practice with at times her youngest client being under 1 and her oldest being over 100. Working across the lifespan in variety of settings has given her the skills to look at a person and family unit as a whole.
​
Emily is very passionate about working with children and families
​
Emily loves learning and is constantly undergoing Professional Development to ensure she can offer you the best service.
A little bit about me-
-
I love travelling and exploring off the beaten track

I have lived in Indonesia, Kenya, Peru and India

Being outside and among trees is a big "glimmer" for me and fantastic for my nervous system
-
I love being in water
-
I have set up and ran a not-for-profit in my 20s "Community SEEDS" that worked with small based NGO's in developing countries.

I love dogs

I am not a fan of birds ever since a magpie got stuck in my helmet when I was 6.
OUR APPROACH
Empowering Children and Parents
At My Family OT, we take a holistic approach to occupational therapy. We focus on the needs of the child and the family as a whole, not just the specific areas of concern. Our therapists work closely with families to develop individualised treatment plans that address the unique needs of each client. We believe that by empowering both children and parents, we can make a lasting impact on their lives.
