Mrs Roezelle Leanne Marais is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Bunbury, WA. You can find her at 47-49 Spencer Street, Bunbury WA 6230. Her work is focused on helping people manage everyday life in a way that feels more doable and less stressful.
Occupational therapy is often about the small things that can make a big difference. That might mean making sure day-to-day tasks like dressing, eating, writing, cooking, or getting around are easier to do. At times, the goal is not just to “fix” a problem, but to find practical ways to work with the person’s current abilities and needs.
Mrs Marais provides assessment of daily living skills, which helps work out what is going well and what needs extra support. From there, she looks at what might get in the way during real life, not just in an appointment. This can include things like routines, comfort, hand use, and the way someone handles different sensations during the day.
Recommendations for adaptive equipment are a key part of many plans. This could mean simple tools that help with grip, posture, fine motor tasks, or getting through daily activities with less effort. The idea is to choose options that fit the person’s home life and preferences, so they are more likely to be used and actually help.
Hand function is another common focus. Mrs Marais offers therapeutic exercises for hand function, aiming to improve skills and reduce the strain that can come from using hands in daily tasks. In many cases, this also includes working out safe ways to practise at home, so progress can keep going between visits.
Sensory integration therapy may also be part of the support, especially when a person feels overwhelmed by sounds, touch, movement, or other sensory input. These sessions are about building more comfort and control, helping someone stay regulated and better able to take part in everyday activities.
If you’re looking for an OT in Bunbury for help with daily living skills, equipment ideas, hand function, or sensory support, Mrs Roezelle Leanne Marais is set up to guide the process step by step. It’s calm, practical work, and the plans are built around what matters in day-to-day life.
