Meet the Team

Yvette

Leading Therapist & Therapy Coordinator

Occupational Therapist

Accredited Hand Therapist (AHTA)

Yvette joined the Health Nest team as our Leading Therapist in 2021. Since graduating from UQ in 2010, Yvette has spent time in acute hospital settings, as a rural specialist and most recently focusing on hand and upper limb therapy. Her love for the field and sense of adventure prompted her to make the move to Tasmania to join us at Health Nest. Yvette is dedicated to excellent client results based on your individual needs and is available for hand, wrist and arm injuries, as well as dry needling and scar management.

When Yvette is not at work, you might find her enjoying the outdoors with her dogs Ollie & Ned or dabbling in her hobby of photography.

Sarah

Associate Therapist

Occupational Therapist

Associate of AHTA

Sarah joined the Health Nest team in 2021 and is our ray of sunshine in the practice. After graduating from UQ as an Occupational Therapist in 2019 Sarah began working in an NDIS based role. Sarah moved from Queensland to join us to begin her career in hand therapy. Sarah loves creating custom splints for clients and sees it as a specific art form for hand therapy. Sarah is full of kindness and getting you a great outcome. She is available for hand, wrist and arm injuries as well as scar management.

In Sarah’s spare time you might find her hiking around Tassie or enjoying some down time with a good book.

Sophie

Associate Therapist

Occupational Therapist

Associate of AHTA

We welcomed Sophie as a part of our therapy team in 2022. Sophie’s interest in hand therapy was sparked when she required hand therapy herself, fracturing her wrist in high school. Since then, becoming a hand therapist has been her career goal. Sophie loves the complexities of hand and upper limb anatomy and enjoys the creative aspect of splint making. After graduating from the University of Queensland as an occupational therapist in 2021, Sophie made the move to Tassie. She is available for hand, wrist and arm injuries as well as scar management.

Being creative is something Sophie enjoys both in and outside of work. In her down time, you may find her painting or drawing. She also loves cold Tassie days.

Ebony

Client Coordinator

Ebony is the face you will see when you first walk through the door at Health Nest and the voice that will greet you when you call. Ebony joined us as a trainee in 2022, but it feels like she has always been a part of our team. As Client Coordinator, meeting new clients and continuing conversations with returning clients make her day, the client experience is her priority.

Ebony is a real go getter both in and outside of work. In her spare time, you might find Ebony on the oval, playing a game of footy or helping her dad out on the farm.

Chloe

Associate Therapist

Occupational Therapist

Associate of the AHTA

Chloe is our newest addition to the team and how lucky are we! Chloe has recently made the move to Tassie and we just love having her in the team. Her passion and confidence in treating hand and wrist injuries is incredible and she is so keen to learn and listen to her clients to get them the best outcome.

Amy

Founder and CEO

Occupational Therapist

Life Member of AHTA

Amy is the founder of Health Nest and began her hand therapy career back in 2000. When Health Nest first opened its doors in 2017, Amy was the primary hand therapist. A lot has changed over the years, Amy now has an amazing team of therapists on the ground at Health Nest. This has allowed her to step into the CEO role within the company. You may not see Amy across the treatment table, but she is here. Working in the background, supporting & mentoring her team, to bring you the best possible hand therapy service to the Launceston community.

When she is not working on the business, you might find Amy soaking up the sunshine and walking along the beach with her family in Newcastle, which is where she now calls home.
