Therapy Factory - by Liani Austin I guide concerned parents and educators with my OT tips and strategies, so that they can ensure that their children reach their full potential!

I guide concerned parents and educators with my Occupational Therapy tips and strategies, so that they can ensure that their children reach their full potential! As a sensory integration trained South-African occupational therapist with over 15 years’ experience, I am grateful to say “I don’t work, I play”. Through fun child-directed playful therapeutic approaches, my passion is to help parents and teachers to understand their children better through a sensory processing lens. I am also trained in DIR Floortime (www.icdl.com) and the Tomatis Method (www.tomatis.com). I can proudly call myself a heart mommy and a tummy mommy. As a previous foster care mommy to newborns I am now walking the incredibly joyful journey of adoption. My forever daughter, who I have always dreamt of, is now seven years old. She is the best big sister to her three-year-old brother who came to me via my tummy. I have a soft spot for childhood trauma, parent-child connection and adoption, and how this may influence development. Therapy Factory, a paediatric private OT practice in Pretoria East, was established by myself and Anneri Oosthuizen, many moons ago. It keeps us on our toes so that we can reach for the stars and continue to fly and evolve. “There is nothing permanent, except change. And without change we cannot progress.” Learn more at www.therapyfactory.co.za. Mari-Louise Olivier is the therapist who treats Therapy Factory children at her afternoon practice while I treat children at two private schools.
