ABOUT ME

Hello! I’m Jacki McPherson, an expereinced occupational therapist and the driving force behind Jacki McPherson Occupational Therapy. With over 20 years in the field, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of understanding, compassion, and education.

A Family of Adventurers: Beyond my professional role, I’m a mum to two teenagers and a tween. Our family thrives on adventure—whether it’s exploring new trails, backpacking in foreign places, or just savoring the everyday moments. These experiences have taught me that diversity is our greatest strength.

Neurodiversity Advocate: My ever-evolving journey has been shaped by my daughter and two neurodiverse boys. I understand the daily challenges of advocating, loving, supporting and fostering connections. My part-done PhD in neurodiversity (on pause for now) 100% fuels my passion for creating inclusive spaces.

Bridging the Gap: Neurodiversity and neurotypical experiences intersect in absolutely fascinating ways. My goal is to bridge that gap! I work hard to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and empower the both cohorts. Together, I hope to create a space where everyone can thrive.

Educator and Presenter: I thrive on sharing knowledge. Whether it’s translating complex concepts for non-academic audiences or empowering organisations, I’m sooooo in my element! Let’s break down barriers, one conversation at a time.

Empowering Lives: My purpose? To see you shine - as corny as that sounds, it really is. Through workshops, personalised support, and practical strategies, we’ll unlock your potential. Because when you succeed, our collective impact grows.
