Hey friends! I'm Rochelle, and I'm the lead therapist at Beelieve Paediatric Therapy - Occupational Therapists on the Gold Coast. With over six years in the field, I embarked on my journey at Charles Sturt University in Albury, earning my Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from 2014 to 2017. My fascination with working with children blossomed from a lifelong love of their inquisitive nature and the joy of engaging in play with them. During my university placements in paediatrics, I discovered that I could combine my passion for play with therapy to help children achieve their goals creatively.

Since graduating, my career has been a dynamic adventure. I started in Cairns, collaborating within a multidisciplinary team for Catholic Education in Queensland schools, gaining invaluable insights into how the education system works and the support available for clients. My career then transitioned into the NDIS space, where I honed my skills in evidence-based approaches to feeding, assessment, and intervention, with a special focus on clients with ABI, Cerebral Palsy,  FASD and infants as well as specific learning approaches such as the CO-OP approach and SOS Feeding. 

The standout moment of my career has been founding Beelieve Paediatric Therapy. This endeavor allows us to offer quality services with personalised touches, outstanding resources, and a strong focus on each client's unique needs.

My philosophy in paediatric OT revolves around a play-based and strengths-based approach. We identify a child's interests and leverage them to address therapy goals in engaging ways. Collaboration with parents and families is central to our approach and setting goals to optimise outcomes and ensure everyone is working together is paramount. We offer strategies that seamlessly integrate into daily routines, making therapy feel like a natural part of life

I work with children both with and without diagnoses, as early intervention is crucial for achieving goals. However, we also emphasise the importance of self-care and encourage families to take breaks during school holidays to prevent burnout.

I'm currently registered with AHPRA, Medicare, OT Australia, and trained in SOS Feeding, AHA assessments, and ADOS assessments.

On a more personal note, I love bushwalks and waterfalls, adore dumplings, and enjoy salsa dancing. Let's work together to help your child reach their full potential and create a brighter future filled with achievements and smiles.​

"Medicine adds days to life,
Occupational Therapy adds life to days"

Hey there! I’m Colleen, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of the amazing team at Beelieve Paediatric Therapy on the Gold Coast. What I love most about my role is the chance to support entire families. Life can be challenging, and I find it incredibly rewarding to help ease some of that pressure for our clients.

My journey into paediatric occupational therapy has been quite the adventure! With 17 years in various medical fields under my belt, I’ve always had a passion for helping others. While I enjoyed working with adults, my heart truly found its calling when I joined Beelieve. Collaborating with Rochelle and our fantastic team, we focus on providing children with the tools they need to learn, grow, and shine.

One of my absolute favourite moments is seeing the kids’ smiles during our sessions—it lights up my day! As a qualified allied health assistant, I can also support kids in implementing their OT programs under Rochelle’s guidance, making the journey even more impactful.

I’ve been with Beelieve since the beginning, and it’s been an incredible ride bringing our vision to life. I initially juggled two jobs, but now I’m fully dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the children we serve.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me enjoying the outdoors with my dog, Milo. I love biking, stand-up paddleboarding, and I may have developed a slight pickleball addiction! I prefer adventures with family and friends over TV or movies—life’s too short not to have fun!
