Meet our Amazing Ocean Kids Health Therapy Team

Emma began her career in the health and wellness industry as a Nutritionist, working in clinics across bayside and then moving into clinic management.

Emma is passionate about leading our Ocean Kids Health Team to provide outstanding care that positively changes the lives of the children and families we care for.

On the weekends you will find Emma up at the crack of dawn, catching the worm, before spending the day hanging out with her family & socialising in the outdoors (when Melbourne weather co-operates!).

Spirit Animal – Kookaburra
Why = Because a hearty belly laugh is one of my favourite things to do.

Sarah is passionate about health and well-being and providing a welcoming environment for families at Ocean Kids. Having worked as a Remedial Massage Therapist for over 20 years, she understands the importance of therapy to assist the body in achieving optimal function.

Sarah loves spending time with her family, drawing, beach volleyball and giving her 14 year old dog Miss Bucket plenty of cuddles!​

Sarah’s spirit animal: Orangutan

Why?
I had a connection with an Orangutan at the zoo when I was 3 or 4 years old. My parents took a photo of me, hands against the glass with the orangutan mirroring me on the other side. I have loved them ever since. Gentle, kind with a love of being surrounded by nature, I can see why I relate to this beautiful creature!

Sharyn is passionate about providing our families with a welcoming environment here at Ocean Kids Health. With an extensive background in health admin, Sharyn is always willing to go above and beyond to provide a high level of customer service. On the weekends, you’ll find Sharyn cheering on her 3 daughters in basketball, netball and football, walking her dog Alfie, enjoying the outdoors and catching up with family and friends.

Sharyn’s spirit animal: Dog / puppies
Why: Because puppies are so friendly and so am I!

Emma is passionate about seeing kiddos develop into the best version of themselves that they can be. Outside of Ocean Kids, she teaches kids music and loves providing a nurturing and encouraging environment for kiddos of all ages! She loves creating, performing, and enjoying music and also spending my downtime cuddling on the couch with her dog Ralph.

Spirit Animal – A Sloth because I am a bit of a sleepyhead in the morning, but it also symbolises that I’m relaxed and easy going.

After Sez finished her university studies, doing a double degree of Science and Arts, she travelled overseas for three months. Sez loves working around kids and providing a welcome environment for families. In her free time Sez loves dancing, reading, getting outside for a run/hike and watching live music with friends.

Spirit animal is a dog – she is protective of her friends and family, loves an adventure and could happily spend hours laying on the grass in the sun!

Leanne has been a bookkeeper for 15 years working in many different industries, she is very passionate about numbers. Working for another physiotherapist practice for 13 years, she is hoping to bring her knowledge of this with her to Ocean Kids Health. On the weekends Leanne loves spending time with family and friends and going for walks with her dog. When she gets any spare time, she likes to go away to her caravan.

Spirit Animal – Dog, because I am very loyal to the people I am close to and work with.

Erin is passionate about creating positive and welcoming environments, particularly when working with children and families.

Erin brings a blend of warmth and professionalism to all her interactions with OKH families. Erin’s hobbies include spending time in the kitchen, playing AFL, or relaxing at the beach.

Spirit animal: Turtle
Why? Because I’m patient, calm and determined and love being in the water.
