Kristie Ellis is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in North Turramurra, NSW. Her practice is at 3A/245 Bobbin Head Road, North Turramurra NSW 2074. Kristie helps people get more confident with everyday life, especially when day to day tasks feel harder than they should.
In her sessions, Kristie focuses on the things that matter in real life, like getting dressed, using utensils, writing, managing small hand movements, and doing routines at home. This might be after an injury, during recovery, or when someone has ongoing challenges with fine motor skills. At times, it also comes down to building the right habits and support so tasks take less effort.
One big part of the work is assessment of daily living skills. Kristie looks at how tasks are currently done and where the gaps are. She then helps with recommendations and training for adaptive equipment. That could mean finding tools that make a task easier, safer, and more comfortable, and showing how to use them in everyday situations, not just in the therapy room.
Kristie also creates personalized home exercise programs. These are practical and aimed at helping improve skills over time. The goal is to make the plan feel doable, with exercises that fit around normal life. She gives clear guidance on what to practise and how often, and she can help adjust the plan if things aren’t clicking.
Fine motor skills are a key area of focus. Many people need support with hand strength, coordination, and control of small movements. Kristie works on the specific skills that help with daily tasks, like more controlled grasp, better finger movements, and smoother hand use for common activities.
Kristie’s approach is calm and hands-on. She looks at what you can do now, then works step by step towards goals you can actually use at home and in daily routines. The therapy is practical, and the changes are meant to be lasting, even when you’re not in the appointment.
