Jenna Maher Occupational Therapist

Jenna is a paediatric occupational therapist who is passionate about supporting children to feel confident, connected, and capable in their everyday lives. Originally from South Africa, she holds an Honours degree in Occupational Therapy and is currently concluding her postgraduate qualification in Ayres Sensory Integration®.  

Jenna’s approach is strengths-based and affirming of each child’s individuality. She values working in close partnership with families, educators, and caregivers to ensure that the support offered is meaningful, consistent, and reflects what matters most to the child. Her sessions are playful, purposeful, and carefully adapted to each child’s goals, preferences, and ways of engaging with the world.

Alongside her interest in sensory integration, Jenna has completed training in infant neurological development and has attended additional courses in child development and cerebral palsy. This broad foundation allows her to work confidently and compassionately across a range of developmental profiles and support needs.Jenna is committed to creating a warm, safe, and supportive space where children feel seen, heard, and celebrated just as they are. She believes in nurturing connection first, and sees joy, trust, and curiosity as key ingredients in helping children to flourish.

Outside of work, Jenna enjoys getting creative in the kitchen, reading a good book, and making the most of time outdoors – especially if it includes a picnic or a beautiful sunset.
