Valentina is an Occupational Therapist with experience supporting young adults and adults across mental health, neurodiversity, disability and overall wellbeing. Her approach is holistic, person-centred and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based occupational therapy with somatic awareness, sensory experiences and mind–body practices.

Valentina is particularly interested in the relationship between the body, emotions, nervous system, relationships and everyday life. Her work invites people to develop a deeper awareness of their experiences, explore what supports their sense of safety and connection, and understand how their inner world influences their participation in daily occupations. Drawing on her ongoing studies in embodied approaches to occupational therapy and Hakomi, she brings curiosity, compassion and a gentle, collaborative presence to the therapeutic process.

She supports individuals experiencing anxiety, burnout, Autism, ADHD, mood-related challenges, dissociative experiences, the impacts of cancer and significant life transitions. Together, she and her clients explore personalised ways to navigate daily challenges, develop meaningful routines, strengthen self-understanding and support greater autonomy and participation in everyday life.

Valentina works with clients across the Northern Rivers region of NSW and Australia-wide via telehealth.
