Jorja is a dedicated Occupational Therapist at Hiya Health Labrador, passionate about supporting children and families in achieving their goals. With a strong focus on paediatrics, Jorja brings expertise in emotional regulation, sensory profiling, fine motor skills, and social skill development, helping children thrive in their everyday environments.
Graduating from Griffith University with First Class Honours, Jorja has a special interest in community accessibility after completing a research project about the tourism experiences for people with a spinal cord injury in Southeast Queensland. Her research reflects her commitment to improving inclusivity and accessibility across various contexts.
Prior to becoming an Occupational Therapist, Jorja also worked as a Therapy Assistant, supporting neurodivergent children to reach their therapy goals. Jorja is continually developing her skills working with children of all ages and abilities, empowering them to navigate challenges with confidence and creativity. Her work emphasizes understanding each child’s unique needs and tailoring therapy to enhance their development and independence.
In addition to working with children, Jorja also has a passion for assistive technology and working with adults, supporting them to regain independence and remain safe in their home and community environments. She is a strong advocate for a client-centred approach, always striving for people to achieve their best.
Jorja is now available to do home visits for Occupational Therapy in Mount Tamborine.
When not working with clients at Hiya Health Labrador, Jorja enjoys living an active lifestyle, going to the beach, running, and immersing herself in a good book. Her energetic and compassionate nature makes her an invaluable part of the Hiya Health team, supporting the Labrador and surrounding community.
“I am very excited to be starting at Hiya Health and building connections with clients and the multidisciplinary team to ensure the best health outcomes.
