Michelle J.

about the Sydney 2025 Workshop

Stephanie D

about the Brisbane 2023 Workshop

Lots of Ah-ha moments! Going away with more purpose when providing therapy. Loved how we also covered non-suspension equipment. 

Ellen T 

about the Perth 2024 Workshop

Thanks so much for your time and expertise at the workshop last weekend. I feel like the crucial centre piece of the OT puzzle has been put in place for me, and everything seems to have clicked. It was the most amazing training I've done!

Merran F

about the Sydney 2023 Workshop

Making new connections between things and their sensory origins. Feeling I can justify using equipment to work on things that may not seem relevant to the untrained eye.

Meet Kerry 

Hello and thank you so much for your interest in this workshop. 
I have been an OT for over 25 years but more specifically a 'sensory' OT for 15 of them. I first learnt about sensory in 2007 and was hooked! Since then I have championed sensory children and believe that with affirming therapy and supports that sensory children can thrive! 
 
The sensory approach is child led, strengths-based and individualised which speaks directly to my heart. I started teaching about All Things Sensory 2 years ago, after a life-threatening medical event made me rethink my OT practice. The best decision I ever made was to start SenseUp and I work tirelessly to create courses and opportunities for you, the OT with an interest in expanding your practice, to include sensory informed and affirming approaches to your repertoire. 
 
I firmly believe that sensory is the link to really understanding and supporting our therapy children - after all a regulated child, is a child who is learning, connecting and thriving. 
Join me and together lets make sure that your sensory clients smile with their whole body! 
 
Hope to see you there,
Kerry
