Emma Joss

Hi, I’m Emma! I joined the Lifespan Therapies team in 2023 after completing my Masters in Occupational Therapy Practice in 2022. During my studies, I gained hands-on experience working as an Allied Health Assistant in a paediatric OT clinic, allowing me to apply and strengthen my skills in real-time—an experience that laid a strong foundation for my career as a therapist.

I’m passionate about supporting children and their families to thrive in their own unique ways. I believe that therapy should always be personal and meaningful, and I work closely with families to create goals that truly reflect each child’s individuality. I have experience working with children of all ages and abilities, and I have a particular interest in infancy and neurodevelopment.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the beach with my dog Marshall, catching up with friends, exploring local markets, practicing competitive cheerleading, or planning my next travel adventure. It’s a privilege to be part of each family's journey, and I’m so excited to support you and your child as we work together towards growth, confidence, and meaningful participation.
