Our services

Occupational Therapy (OT)
After meeting with the client, our OT’s will develop an Individualised and tailored program that meets the clients needs, wants and specific goals, utilising previous information, assessments and one-on-one meetings with the client. The OT will then work collaboratively with our support workers to ensure our clients goals are achieved, whilst minimising costs and maximising outcomes. (Read more)

Along with our unique and personal approach to occupational therapy our OT services include:
- Functional assessments
- Therapy and rehabilitation
- Coordinating your care team
- Functional capacity assessments including evaluation and review.


Support Services
We offer support services to help you navigate and maximise your NDIS package. Our support workers roll out our therapeutic programs that can help get you on track to reach your occupational goals.


Yoga
Want to improve your flexibility and get in touch with your physical body, but don’t want to go to a yoga studio or spend hours scrolling through youtube? We can provide tailored one on one or group yoga sessions as part of your program or as a private one off experience.


Zen Thai Shiatsu
Zenthai Shiatsu is a movement-based therapy that integrates the principles and techniques of Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage, and Osteopathy. Working with focused intention and deep listening, this form of bodywork is widely recognised as an effective structural and energetic form of therapy. We can integrate this into your healing journey or offer sessions privately.

Why we’re different?

At Doing Being Becoming we encourage our team to bring their unique selves to their clinical practice. We believe that life experience, inspiration and broad skill sets can be woven together with clinical expertise to deliver tailored, dynamic and radically effective therapeutic programs. Our clients and our staff are humans, not case numbers. So when you spend time with us it will be with a person, not a uniform.

When it comes to our NDIS services, we have developed a model to deliver cost and resource effective healthcare programs to make the most of your package. (Read more)

We offer an array of services from a broad range of modalities, including occupational therapy, zenthai shiatsu, yoga and more.

We are always looking for new and creative ways to deliver services that optimise health and puts the client at the centre, acknowledging the non-linear and no ‘one size fits all’ policy of being and living at your best.

What is ‘occupational therapy’ anyway?

The term ‘occupation’ refers to all the everyday things that people do to occupy their time and bring meaning and purpose to their life. Occupational therapists use client-centred and strengths-based approaches to promote health and wellbeing through occupation. Their primary goal is to allow individuals to be as independent as possible and facilitate participation and engagement in occupations

What people are saying

  • "Working with Stephanie to achieve NDIS participant's goals is collaborative , communication is always clear and concise and received in a timely manner"

    Support Coordinator

  • "Stephanie from ‘Doing Being Becoming’ has been an amazing support for my children. She made me feel more confident as a parent and really tuned into each of my kids' individual needs, working with their interests in a way that made therapy enjoyable and effective. Her thoughtful approach has had such a positive impact on our family, and we’re so grateful for everything she’s done"

    Mother of two paediatric clients

  • "Stephanie was not just our Occupational therapist for our 11-year-old participant, she was number one advocate and supporter, who shone a light just in the nick of time. The carers of this young one with FASD were burnt out, out of ideas until they begun working with Stephanie. She showed the whole care team how life is and what life could be. The mother, feeling that having a child with FASD makes life a constant juggle of responsibilities, was empowered by Stephanie's support. She was doing her part, but with the help of the community and Stephanie's guidance, she was able to navigate the challenges more effectively. This empowerment is a testament to the potential of early intervention and Occupational Therapy"

    Support Coordinator

  • I have had the pleasure of working closely with Stephanie at Doing Being Becoming OT to support a consumer with complex mental needs. Stephanie’s approach is comprehensive and caring, she has an ability to connect with consumers to understand their complex and individual needs and this is evident in her detailed reports. I highly recommend Stephanie’s services and look forward to continuing to work with her.
