Expert occupational therapy assessments and rehabilitation across New Zealand. Supporting insurers, case managers, employers, and individuals to achieve safe, sustainable, and meaningful outcomes.
Occupational Therapy is a profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through engagement in meaningful occupation. Occupational Therapists work to break down barriers that hinder clients from engaging in the activities they need or want to do in order to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
Occupational Therapists assess the whole person — their physical capacity, cognitive function, emotional wellbeing, and environment — to develop practical, personalised plans that make a real difference. Good work is good for health. Good health is good for work.

With over 14 years of experience as an occupational therapist, I've built my career across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK, gaining deep insight into both private and public healthcare systems and the diverse needs of the people within them.
I founded Norton OT with a clear purpose: to help people get on with and enjoy a balanced, rewarding, and fulfilling life through meaningful occupation. I believe good work is good for health, and good health is good for work.
I am known for my thoroughness, care, and practical approach — bringing clinical rigour and genuine commitment to every engagement, always focused on achieving positive, sustainable outcomes.
