We're Sarah and Laura - two Occupational Therapists from Newcastle, NSW, who have dedicated our careers to helping people live safely, independently, and comfortably in their homes and communities
Through years of hands-on experience, mentoring colleagues, and troubleshooting real-world challenages, we saw a growing need for education that reflects the realities of practice - the kind of learning that bridges the gap between theory and what actually happens day-to-day.

Between us, we have over 40 years of experience across a range of different settings, but predominantly working with people in their homes. We've seen just about every type of project imaginable - from quick equipment fixes to major home and living designs

Our approach with our clients is simple and effective. We are guided by person-centred principles, with foundations in practicality and evidence-based clinical reasoning. We bring this same approach to The OT Foundry by creating short, accessible learning that helps OTs build confidence, sharpen decision-making and apply knowledge in real-world practice.
