About Affirm Occupational Therapy

Kirsty has been an Occupational Therapist since 2019, working in areas like aged care, NDIS Occupational Therapy, and Positive Behaviour Support. But after having her two kids, she found her true passion—working with babies, children, and families to support their development and daily life.

Kirsty works with kids from birth through to their early teens, helping them build the skills they need to do the things that matter most—whether that’s playing, learning, making friends, or getting through daily routines with more ease. She takes a down-to-earth, family-centred approach, working closely with parents and caregivers to find practical strategies that fit into everyday life. This might include helping with motor skills (like climbing, writing, or using cutlery), emotional regulation, sensory processing, toileting, school readiness, or managing tricky behaviours.

Kirsty is also working towards her accreditation in Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) with the Possums Program, which will expand her skills in supporting mums and babies—particularly with breastfeeding, sleep, infant behaviour, and mental health in the first year of life.

At the heart of it all, Kirsty is passionate about helping kids and families feel more confident, capable, and connected. Whether you’re adjusting to life with a new baby, preparing your child for school, or looking for ways to support their growth and independence, she’s here to help every step of the way.
