Let it grow...
It’s not about chasing perfection (I know, easier said then done!). It’s about embracing progress, big and small. Those moments when things just click, when a breakthrough happens, or when something that felt impossible becomes part of your everyday.
That’s what I’m here for — to walk with you on your journey, capturing those little wins along the way and helping you see just how far you’ve come. Because real progress happens when you let things grow, one day at a time.
"I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. Through tailored support and confidence-building strategies, I want to help individuals take control of their journey and live life with independence and positivity."
A Holistic Approach to Therapy
Beyond traditional Occupational Therapy, I incorporate movement and art to enhance well-being. As a trained inclusive dance teacher, I use creative therapies to improve mobility, mental health, and self-expression, offering a well-rounded, individualized approach to care.
A bit about me
Hi, I’m Hannah!
I’ve been an Occupational Therapist for over 10 years, working in many different areas to help people live their best lives. — from acute care, community and rehabilitation to mental health and paediatrics, both in Ireland and the UK. I’ve had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life. What makes my approach unique is my personal experience of living life a little differently.
Born with an upper limb difference, I understand the challenges of navigating life with a difference and the unique adjustments it requires along the way. My own life experience has shaped the way I approach my work — with empathy, understanding, and a focus on finding practical solutions that help people live in a way that feels right for them.
Right now, as well as Private OT, I work as a Senior Community based OT in Cork where I help individuals across all walks of life find ways to live more independently and confidently. I’m also an inclusive dancer, and I’m currently developing a project that brings people with upper limb difference together to celebrate creativity and our unique way of moving in the world.
I’m here to support you, cheer you on, and help you find the right path forward, no matter what challenges you’re facing.
