Our extensive experience in wheelchairs, hoisting, and manual handling sets us apart in the realm of assistive technology. We continuously explore new-release assistive devices to help individuals overcome barriers and regain their independence. Additionally, we take pride in using technology to create customised training solutions for support teams. Imagine easily accessible QR code videos that teach support workers how to use specific assistive technology, like hoist and sling combinations, tailored to individual client needs.

From controlling lights, door locks, and cameras using smartphones and smart displays, to developing customised routines and reminders, we empower individuals to take charge of their surroundings. Our innovative approach extends to exploring AI technologies like ChatGPT to enhance productivity and enable you to focus on what truly matters in your life.

At Be Your Best Occupational Therapy, we believe that handwriting is more than just a functional skill; it's a fundamental building block of literacy and self-expression. Our approach to handwriting challenges goes beyond legibility; we focus on fostering a love for writing and enhancing essential skills that support reading, grammar, and spelling. Through evidence-based practices and creative engagement, we help children and individuals of all ages improve their handwriting, boosting their confidence and self-image along the way. Handwriting isn't just about penmanship; it's about unlocking the power of effective communication.

We’re passionate about helping children build the everyday skills they need to thrive.
Whether it's developing independence in self-care routines, exploring creative play, or joining in with family and community activities, our Occupational Therapy services are designed to support your child’s growth and confidence.

Welcome to Be Your Best Occupational Therapy, where your journey towards living your best life begins.
I'm Jemma, the founder of our practice, and I bring over 20 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist to our team.
My journey into Occupational Therapy has been anything but conventional. It began in rural NSW, where I worked in Occupational Rehabilitation and discovered the joy of helping people return to the roles and identities that mattered most — often their jobs. I loved the variety the role offered: one day I might be riding in a train cab to understand the demands of a driver’s role, the next observing a nurse preparing for theatre. Acting as a case manager between insurers, employers, and workers, I saw firsthand the real-world impact of advocacy and well-coordinated support.
From there, my path took me to the fast-paced hospital settings of London, where I refined my rehab skills in acute and inpatient environments. Returning to Brisbane, I have spent over 13 years working in the community, developing a deep respect for supporting people in their own homes. There’s something profoundly powerful about helping individuals achieve what matters most to them in the context of their everyday lives.
My vision is to create a world where everyone has access to innovative products and services that enhance their lives.
Because when people are supported to live life on their terms, everything changes.
At Be Your Best Occupational Therapy we believe that every person is unique, and their path to independence and autonomy should reflect that individuality.

Thank you for considering Be Your Best Occupational Therapy as your partner in achieving your goals and aspirations. Your journey begins here, and I can't wait to be a part of it.

As a solo Occupational Therapist (and a parent!), I generally work within school hours, so I may be a little less available during school holidays.
I'm often with clients during the day, which means I may not always be able to answer the phone right away—but I aim to respond to all messages and emails within one working day. Thanks for your understanding!
