Inspired WFOT2026 conversations, and am reminded that regulation, meaning, and connection have always been embedded in human environments.

Occupational therapy has a powerful role in remembering — not adding — what supports nervous systems to feel safe, present, and engaged in life.

Grateful to be part of these global conversations as they unfold 🌍

Coree Occupational Therapy is taking a well‑earned break to rest, recharge and spend time in nature and with our families. 🌿💚​

Our practice will be closed from 22 December 2025 to 7 January 2026.

Thank you for your trust, kindness and support throughout 2025 – it means the world to this little practice.

Wishing you a safe, gentle and restorative holiday season✨

🌿 2024 Reflections

As we get closer to the end of 2024, we reflect on a year of growth, connection and natural wonders. We're filled with gratitude for the moments shared and the progress made together.

This year has been a tapestry of personal and professional triumphs. Ryan and Jack's exceptional dedication has propelled our clients to new heights from
perfecting golf swings to cooking nutritious omelettes and conquering squats amidst the energy of the outdoors. We have embraced rejuvenating nature walks.

Our Nature for Life program has blossomed, creating a sanctuary of calm and connection. We've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of green spaces, offering a respite from life's demands.

The year has brought us closer to unveiling the research into the profound benefits of nature for adults with autism through my ongoing research. This journey has reinforced our commitment to green therapy, inspiring us to dive deeper into nature's embrace during the summer break.

To our cherished clients your progress has been our guiding star. As we step into 2025, we're excited to:

- Set ambitious new goals
- Explore uncharted territories in nature-based therapy
- Strengthen our community bonds through shared outdoor experiences

As we bid farewell to 2024, remember to:

- Prioritise safety and kindness
- Embrace life's adventures with open arms
- Find solace and excitement in nature's playground.

🌊🏞️ We're embarking on a well-deserved journey of rest and rejuvenation from December 20, 2024, to February 3, 2025.

We encourage you to immerse yourself in natural wonders, practice mindfulness in green spaces and recharge with outdoor activities.

Let's welcome 2025 with renewed energy, a deeper connection to nature, and excitement for the growth and adventures that await us!

Merry Christmas 🎄

We are on a mission this May! 🏃‍♀️

Shannon is lacing up her running shoes and hitting the pavement for a great cause - raising awareness for Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1).

NF1 affects thousands of people worldwide, yet awareness about this condition is still limited. That's why Shannon has taken on the 150km NF challenge this month, spreading awareness every step of the way.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to grow on any nerve ending, leading to various complications. By raising awareness and funds, Shannon hopes to support those living with NF1 and contribute to research for better treatments and a cure.

If you'd like to learn more about NF1 or support Shannon's journey, check out the link below. Together, we can make a difference! 💪
