Our Team

Born and raised on the sunny Gold Coast, Sarah J is an Occupational Therapist passionate about supporting individuals with disabilities and advocating for better services and opportunities.

Bringing a wealth of experience, a deep personal commitment and a genuine desire to help others, Sarah is a valued member of the Pacific Health and Wellbeing team.

Her motivation to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy stems from her personal experiences growing up with a sibling who has disabilities. This has given her a profound understanding of the challenges families face and has driven her to make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Sarah has a keen interest in functional capacity assessments, home and living assessments, assistive technology and home modifications. As she advances in her role, she is increasingly drawn to working with more complex participants, both physically and socially, appreciating the challenge and continuous learning it provides. She takes great pride in helping her participants live their best lives, a passion fuelled by her personal experiences and a strong desire to support others as she would her own family.

She was excited to be part of the growth of Pacific Health and Wellbeing’s Gold Coast office, which began with just herself and Ally in a small space. Now, she leads a team of four clinicians in a larger office, thriving in the dynamic and fast-paced nature of her work.

Outside of work, she enjoys reading and has set herself the ambitious goal of finishing 50 books this year! She’s also a fan of jigsaw puzzles, beach walks, and music, frequently attending gigs and discovering new artists.
