Ms Marianne Louise Hodder is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in South Brisbane. You can find her practice at 600 Stanley Street, South Brisbane QLD 4101.
Occupational therapy is all about helping people take part in everyday life, even when things feel harder than they used to. That might mean managing daily routines, getting back to meaningful activities, or finding ways to do tasks with less strain and stress.
Ms Hodder helps with assessments of daily living activities. These check-ins look at what someone can do now, what’s getting in the way, and what matters most day to day. From there, she can help shape a personalized treatment plan that fits your situation and your goals.
In many cases, small changes can make a big difference. Ms Hodder also supports people with adaptive equipment and practical strategies for using it safely. This can help with things like getting around at home, managing personal care, and coping with everyday tasks in a way that feels more steady and realistic.
Home can be a tough place when your body, energy levels, or day-to-day needs change. Ms Hodder works on home modification recommendations, focusing on changes that improve safety and make daily routines easier to handle. Sometimes it’s about creating space, improving access, or reducing the amount of effort needed to move through the home.
Energy conservation is another key part of her work. At times, even simple activities can feel exhausting, so she helps people learn pacing and practical ways to plan their day. The goal is to avoid unnecessary flare-ups and make it easier to do what you need to do without burning out.
Her approach is practical and calm. She considers the person, the home setup, and what life looks like outside of appointments. Over time, the plan can be reviewed and adjusted as needs change.
If you’re dealing with day-to-day challenges after an illness, injury, or a change in health, an OT assessment can help you work out the next steps. Ms Hodder provides support for planning, equipment, home changes, and training so everyday life is more manageable.
