About Me

Welcome to Embracing Potential! I am so grateful we've found each other!

I am Jenna - mum, wife, OT, ADHDer, sister, daughter, friend, coach, advocate, entrepreneur and so much more.

After 12 years working in OT and Team Leader roles within the disability, rehabilitation and private practice sectors, I was burnt out, frustrated and lost. I still had a passion for helping others, but I knew I needed a change.

I created Embracing Potential because I know what it feels like to live for years without understanding your own brain. I know the confusion, the shame, and the exhaustion of trying to fit into moulds and systems that weren’t built for us.

My mission is to walk alongside other adults - especially those diagnosed later in life - who are navigating a similar journey. I am here to create safe, affirming spaces where people can see their neurodiversity not as a flaw, but as a different way of being.

I am committed to:

∞ Seeing strengths before struggles

∞ Meeting people where they are, without judgment

∞ Sharing strategies that are practical, flexible, and compassionate

∞ Advocating for environments that honour neurodivergent needs

Even on the days when my own ADHD feels messy and overwhelming, I remember: my imperfections make me relatable, not fraudulent. My lived experience is part of the value I bring. I don’t need to be “perfect” to make a difference — I just need to show up, human to human.

I chose this path because I believe in the potential of people like us - and I believe in supporting us all to embrace it!

"Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in" - Leonard Cohen

I am fully registered with the Occupational Board of Australia through Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and am a member of Occupational Therapy Australia (OTA).

WHO I CAN SUPPORT

Embracing Potential Occupational Therapy supports neurodivergent adults across Australia through individualised, affirming and flexible Telehealth services. Limited face to face sessions are also available for clients within 30 minutes of Highbury, SA.

As an OT with over 12 years of experience working with both adults and children and a lived experience of ADHD, I am passionate about supporting those who may be navigating a late diagnosis, burnout, or who are generally feeling stuck, lost or out of balance.

MY APPROACH

My OT services are founded on the shared understanding that you are not broken and I am not here to "fix you". Your neurodivergent brain is unique, remarkable and capable of endless potential. That does not mean that there are not real challenges that can arise from being neurodivergent in a world that is often not designed for us.

My goal is to equip you with the knowledge you need to embrace who you are, understand how to maximise your strengths, accommodate for those things that weigh you down or hold you back and enable you to live your life to your full potential.

HOW I CAN SUPPORT

My Occupational Therapy assessments and services can support you to:

∞ Build an understanding of your own neurodivergence, how this shows up for you

∞ Grow your self-compassion and self-esteem

∞ Create routines that work with your natural patterns and actually stick

∞ Develop strategies to support executive functioning (planning, organising, task initiation, motivation, time management)

∞ Explore and manage sensory needs across environments and contexts

∞ Build confidence in social situations

∞ Navigate systems, work and study accommodations, environmental adaptations, advocacy and transitions

∞ Organise living spaces to reduce stress and increase efficiency

∞ Find ways to regulate energy and emotions

∞ Identify and engage in meaningful activities

∞ Explore interoception - becoming aware of and connecting with body signals

∞ Enhance life skills (such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, financial management)

∞ Connect with community and support networks

∞ Educate those around you to improve shared understanding and outcomes

Assessments and Reports: Sensory, Functional Capacity, Environmental (home, workplace).

Clinical Supervision

Are you looking for a supervisor who can holistically support your clinical practice as well as your overall wellbeing? Embrace your potential with flexible clinical supervision that is collaborative, affirming, reflective and tailored to your unique needs, learning style and goals.

I provide a lived-experience, evidence-based approach to supervision for neurodiverse Occupational Therapists as well as OTs who wish to understand more about neurodiversity affirming practice. Drawing on my extensive experience clinically, and from my operational leadership experience I can support you to:

Create space for you to reflect on the emotional, personal, clinical and administrative aspects of your work

Improve self-awareness, emotional regulation and confidence

Embrace your strengths and manage burnout

Process and problem solve challenges to develop solutions that work with your brain, motivation and energy

Grow your toolkit and discover how to apply OT principles and practices in your own life

Sustainably meet your billable targets without sacrificing your wellbeing

Continue to develop your own clinical identity and style

Meet your professional requirements under APHRA's Occupational Therapy Competency Standards

Advocate for yourself and celebrate your unique skills and approach in the workplace

Develop the skills required to transition into other roles including new areas of practice or clinical or operational leadership

Practice Operations & Sustainability Review

OT-informed, neuroaffirming consulting to help allied health practices reduce hidden load, strengthen systems, and build sustainability without hustle.

If your practice “works” but feels effortful to run, this review offers a structured way to understand what’s happening in the systems — and what could be gently realigned.

Enquire: hello@embracingpotential.com.au

Who this is for

This review may be a good fit if you’re noticing:

systems rely on memory, goodwill, or constant workaround thinking
policies, procedures, or forms no longer match how you actually operate
roles/responsibilities feel blurry or heavier than they need to be
communication and decisions take more energy than expected
sustainability feels fragile (even when the clinical work is strong)

You don’t need to have a clearly defined “problem” — noticing friction is enough.

What the review covers

A structured review of how your practice systems function in day-to-day reality, which may include:

intake and onboarding processes
workflows, handovers, and admin systems
roles, responsibilities, and boundaries
policies, procedures, forms, and templates
communication norms and decision pathways
workplace environment, wellbeing, and organisational culture
inclusion, accessibility, and neuroaffirming practice at a systems level

The focus is on patterns and priorities, not perfection.

What you receive

You’ll receive a written review summary that includes:

strengths and protective factors (what’s already working)
key observations and themes
prioritised considerations (what matters most)
practical, proportionate recommendations

Optional follow-on support (e.g., document updates or program development) can be scoped separately if it’s helpful.

What this isn’t

To keep the work contained and sustainable, this review does not include:

therapy, clinical services, or staff intervention
supervision or mediation
implementation/change management
ongoing advisory support (unless separately agreed)

Process (3–4 weeks)

Enquiry (brief context + what prompted the review)
Scope confirmed (what’s included, timeframe, fee)
Information gathering (documents + brief context)
Review + analysis
Written summary delivered
Optional next steps (if desired)

Fees (incl. GST)

Fees reflect the depth of review, analysis, and synthesis involved and are confirmed prior to commencement.

Sole practitioner / very small practice (1–2 clinicians): from $2,400 (incl. GST)
Small practice (3–8 staff): from $3,800 (incl. GST)
Medium practice (9–20 staff): from $5,800 (incl. GST)
Larger/complex organisations: by quote

Payment: 50% prior to commencement, 50% on delivery (unless otherwise agreed).

Access & Fees

INDIVIDUAL OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS

TELEHEALTH

I primarily offer Occupational Therapy sessions and Functional Capacity Assessments via Telehealth, allowing me to support individuals across Australia. While Telehealth can have its own challenges to navigate, it can also allow for greater comfort, flexibility and increased access. It also eliminates the need for travel and can support more consistent engagement.

Our sessions will be set up to promote connection, acceptance and privacy, creating a safe space for you to be yourself and get the most out of our time together. You can feel free to turn up in your pjs, fidget, doodle and take breaks.

FACE TO FACE SUPPORT

I am able to provide face to face Occupational Therapy session and Functional Capacity Assessments in some circumstances. The costs associated with my travel are outlined in my fees below. Contact me to discuss your individual needs.

FUNDING OPTIONS

Private and Private Health Insurance

I am able to see individuals who wish to access Occupational Therapy services privately. No referral is required. If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible for a rebate. Please check with your insurer to see what your policy covers.

Medicare

If you're eligible, your GP may offer a General Practitioner Chronic Disease Management Plan (GPCDMP). This allows you to claim a partial Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per calendar year with your chosen allied health professional. The plan needs to be in place before your first appointment.

There’s also a separate Medicare pathway for people under 25 with an eligible disability or complex neurodevelopment needs. With a referral and treatment plan from a paediatrician or psychiatrist, this option provides rebates for up to 20 allied health treatment sessions in total across a lifetime. It can be a helpful option if you're not eligible for the NDIS or are waiting for access.

NDIS

I am able to see individuals accessing Occupational Therapy and Functional Capacity Assessments through the NDIS. Services can be funded under the Improved Daily Living budget in the Capacity Building category. I work with both self-managed and plan-managed participants. I am unable to see NDIS-managed participants.

FEES

Individual Occupational Therapy - $193.99/hour

Occupational Therapy Travel Private Clients - $193.99/hour

Occupational Therapy Travel NDIS Clients - $97/hour + $0.99/km

SUPERVISION

I offer individualised supervision to a limited number of OTs at a time to ensure continuity and consideration for each supervisee.

Sessions typically run for 50 minutes via Telehealth, at a frequency of your choosing. I will also provide you with a detailed follow up email after each session, with key reflections, agreed actions and helpful resources. You can also connect with me between supervision sessions to share your wins.

If you would like to have supervision with me, please feel free to email me to introduce yourself and your supervision needs.
