My Favourite
My son has been seeing Lori for the last four years, and we haven’t looked back to any other therapist since. Lori is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Her welcoming, child-focused approach makes every session engaging and meaningful.
Her passion, educational background, skills, and experience make her truly unique in this profession. Lori’s insights about my son have always been accurate and helpful — not only in identifying challenges but also in finding effective ways to address them. My son loves his sessions with Lori and eagerly shares stories with her that he usually reserves only for me. She has a rare ability to build genuine trust and maintain it with the children she works with. We feel truly blessed and grateful to have Lori in our lives.
Prabh has been supporting my son as an AHA for the past few months, and she’s equally wonderful. Warm, friendly, and patient, she knows how to build positive relationships and help children learn and grow through play. Prabh works thoughtfully and strategically to help kids achieve their goals while keeping sessions fun and enjoyable. Any child would be lucky to have her on their care team.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication Lori has shown our son in the last 3 months. Her child led, attachment focused and compassionate approach has made an enormous difference in his development.
From the very beginning, Lori took the time to truly understand his needs, celebrate his strengths, and support him through every step of his progress, big or small. Lori’s patience, expertise, and ability to connect with our little one have helped him achieve milestones we were once worried he would struggle with.
Highly recommend for those needing early intervention support!
Love Hearts
My 8-year-old daughter, a Year 2 student in mainstream school, started with Lori when she was 7. She didn’t look back to her previous therapist ever since. My daughter was enjoying and loving the company of Lori each time she sees her at home every other Friday. Lori’s approach to each of her therapy sessions is so welcoming, child-centred and child-focused. Few of the many reasons why my daughter was and currently is so engaged and responsive to her approach. Lori offers high quality of care and service given her exceptional achievements, educational background, skills, knowledge and experience. My daughter is indeed blessed and happy to have Lori as her regular visiting therapist.

Lori, the manager, has been working with my son for over two years. She is a true professional—knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. The method she uses (DIR-Floor time) has led to noticeable progress in several areas of my son’s development. Communication with parents is always easy and clear, and she’s very flexible with session locations. Lori is also great at working with kids in different settings, either her place, our home or in kinder, which has made a big difference for us. Highly recommended!

Prabh is doing a fantastic job as an AHA and Support Worker with young NDIS participants. She’s so warm and friendly, kids feel at ease around her straight away. She really knows how to help them grow through play and build positive relationships. Any child would be lucky to have her on their care team – she works hard to help them reach their goals while making sessions fun and enjoyable.

My child is very particular about who she likes and does not. Lori is so caring and perceptive that my daughter and I have a lot of trust for her.
I don’t make reviews but honestly, she goes above and beyond to a point I feel like my kid is developing so much faster than I could have imagined.
She used to struggle with social interaction but now they’re a lot more open which brings me a lot of joy.
SUPER RECOMMEND!!

My son worked with Lori for almost two years and the improvements in his confidence and development were outstanding!

Lori is absolutely lovely and I highly recommend their services.
