Meet our newest Senior Occupational Therapist

Get to know Notion

Hello! My name is Notion, and I’m excited to join Nulsen Therapy as the new Senior Occupational Therapist. I’m originally from Zimbabwe, spent part of my childhood with my family in the UK, and recently made the move to Perth from the Pilbara. I’m loving life here, there’s just so much to explore and plenty of amazing food to enjoy!

My journey into occupational therapy began when I was 18 during a hospital placement. I had the opportunity to shadow an occupational therapist (OT), and their work inspired me to pursue this career. Since then, I’ve worked with a wide range of age groups, from children to adults, and supported individuals with intellectual disabilities, gaining diverse skills along the way.

As an OT, my role focuses on improving people’s day-to-day lives, whether through assistive technology, tailored advice, or comprehensive assessments. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the positive impact on someone’s quality of life, helping them access the community and live more independently.

A typical day for me starts by reviewing emails and my schedule. I conduct home assessments to evaluate safety, accessibility, and functional needs. During visits, I ensure assistive equipment is properly set up, complete transport safety reviews for wheelchair securement, and provide training to support staff on equipment use and manual handling. I also review personal care tasks to ensure they’re performed safely. Between visits, I document progress, update procedures, liaise with the multidisciplinary team, and coordinate with suppliers for equipment repairs or replacements. My focus is always on promoting independence, safety, and quality of life for every client.

What I love most about Nulsen is the supportive and well-organised environment. The team has been incredibly helpful, and I’m looking forward to a bright future here at Nulsen.
