Mrs Julia Jane Dayhew is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Alstonville, NSW. Her practice is at 78a Main Street, Alstonville NSW 2477. Julia looks after people who want to feel more confident in everyday life, whether that’s getting through the day at home, at school, or in the community.
In many cases, her work is about daily living skills and making life easier in practical ways. This can include helping someone break tasks into steps, build routines that fit their needs, and get back to things they enjoy when they can. At times, she also supports families and carers so everyone understands what helps day to day.
Julia also focuses on customised home exercise programs. These are made to suit the person’s goals and the things they do in real life. You might also see her recommend assistive devices, like simple tools or equipment, where they can make tasks safer, smoother, or less tiring. The aim is usually to reduce stress and help people do more with less effort.
Another part of her work is sensory integration therapy. This is often used when the way someone processes sensory information affects how they cope with daily activities. Julia uses this approach to support better participation in everyday settings, and to help build skills that make routines more manageable.
Julia’s OT education supports her focus on functional, day-to-day goals. Over time, she brings this practical mindset to each plan, looking at what’s getting in the way and what could make things work better. While no publications or clinical trials are listed for her here, her services are grounded in hands-on assessment and clear, practical therapy steps you can use at home.
