Julia is an Occupational Therapist who completed a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) at Griffith University. She began her journey at NAPA Brisbane as a Therapy Aide in 2023, where she quickly fell in love with the centre’s energy, playfulness, and meaningful relationships built with children and their families. During this time, she also developed a deep appreciation for the clinic’s genuine commitment to supporting families to feel heard, empowered, and supported to truly thrive.

Julia has completed placements across a range of settings, including aged care, stroke rehabilitation, and paediatric outpatient clinics, where she gained experience within day hospital rehabilitation and diagnostic review clinic environments. These experiences have contributed to her strong and well-rounded foundation in occupational therapy practice. She is a confident, warm, and energetic therapist who is passionate about building trust with children and making therapy fun, motivating, and engaging. Watching children grow in confidence and independence is what truly lights her up.

Julia values strengths-based, family-centred practice and loves supporting families to feel confident, heard, and understood as they celebrate their child’s long-term progress. Outside of NAPA, you’ll find Julia at the beach, laughing with friends and family, or spending time with her dog.
