Jo Marsh is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Mount Barker, SA. Her practice is at Unit 4, 69 Gawler Street, Mount Barker SA 5251.
In everyday terms, Jo helps people build the skills they need for daily life. That can mean looking at how someone manages at home, at school, or in the community. Over time, small changes can make a big difference, especially when things feel too hard or take too much energy.
Jo focuses on assessment of daily living activities. This might include routines like getting dressed, preparing food, washing, and getting through the day in a way that feels workable. At times, it’s also about understanding the little things that get in the way, like hand skills, comfort, stamina, or how a person handles different environments.
From there, she helps with practical next steps. Jo may recommend adaptive equipment to support independence. This could be tools that make tasks safer, easier, or less tiring. The goal is not to “fix” someone, but to support what matters to them and make daily tasks more manageable.
Strategies for independent living are a big part of the work too. Jo helps people plan ways to break down tasks, set up routines, and build confidence. In many cases, the changes are about making things fit the person, not the other way around.
Some clients also come in with sensory challenges. Jo provides sensory integration therapy to help people respond to sensory input in a more comfortable way. This can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by noise, textures, movement, or other everyday sensations. Sessions tend to be practical and focused, with the aim of supporting calmer, steadier routines.
Jo’s approach is grounded in real life. She pays attention to the details that show up day to day, and she looks at what will actually help you keep going. That might mean small adjustments at home, updated equipment recommendations, or a clear plan for practice.
