My name is Kate Knox and Welcome to the Alternative OT. I have been a Registered Occupational Therapist for over 12 years, a certified Wellbeing Life Coach and Reiki Practitioner.

I feel I work very well with both male and female clients who wish to improve their health and their life by working towards goals that are holistically focused. Meaning that the goals we set will not only look at how to optimise your physical health, but your emotional, mental and spiritual health too. Which in turn will support you to live a more successful, more independent and fulfilled life.

Whether you feel you need a traditional Occupational Therapy approach to overcome your difficulties or are interested in integrating alternative practices into your Health and Wellness routine, I am excited to be able to help.
