From time to time, I share my work through conferences or professional groups. Here’s a small selection of those contributions.
I will share future presentations and projects here too.
“The Unspoken Occupational Disruption Following Intimate Partner Betrayal”
Poster presentation | Occupational Therapy Australia National Conference, Adelaide, June 2025
This poster explores how occupational therapy can support women navigating betrayal trauma, disrupted identity, and complex emotional recovery. It reflects the early foundations of my Rewoven Life framework (a practice-informed framework in development).

“The Role of Occupational Therapy in the Adverse Experiences of Women”
Guest Speaker | Women’s Health Occupational Therapy Australia, April 2025
A reflective, practice-based presentation exploring how occupational therapy can support identity, safety, and participation for women navigating adversity and trauma. Drawing on my work with women experiencing betrayal trauma, I also touched on related experiences such as family violence, coercive control, post-separation abuse, reproductive trauma, and ambiguous loss.
The session included practice reflections, the use of models such as MOHO and OPMA, and an open discussion with peers in the women’s health OT community. This was a closed professional event and is not publicly available.
