I am a support coordinator and it’s been a pleasure working with Mikaela. I referred two of my participants to her and she has been phenomenal in tailoring each session to their needs and made therapy fun, engaging and effective. Mikaela worked with me throughout, developing strategies, writing assessments and sharing her expertise as an OT to ensure our clients get the best support.

I’ve reviewed many Functional Capacity Assessments over the years, and Mikaela’s work continues to stand out. The level of detail, insight, and professionalism she brings is exceptional. The most recent FCA completed for one of our participants was no exception—clear, comprehensive, and clearly completed with genuine care and expertise. Thank you Mikaela for your outstanding work—it’s always a pleasure to collaborate with professionals of your calibre.
