Meet Our Team
Meaningful, goal orientated therapists.
Our therapists at H2OT Allied Health specialise in play-based therapy, using fun and engaging activities to foster skill development in a safe and supportive environment while providing honest, meaningful support for children and their families.
Samantha Harris
Sam is no stranger to the Sunshine Coast, having completed her Occupational Therapy degree at the UniSC (many moons ago). Sam has travelled and worked all over Australia and overseas but family and friends drew her back end of 2021.
Sam has always dreamed of connecting her love for the water with her love for OT and in July 2022 this dream became a reality. At the same time as starting a business Sam welcomed her gorgeous furbaby, Wesley, into her life. Yes, some would say that was a little silly but Wesley is the best and absolutely loves coming to sessions.
Sam brings years of diverse experience and a love for dry skin, wet hair and pruney fingers. Sam strives to provide neuroaffirming and client centered care to her clients by continually engaging in professional development opportunities.

With a passion for making therapy fun and engaging, Abbey brings a wave of energy, creativity, and dedication to H2OT. Her unique blend of skills ensures that every child feels empowered and excited to dive into their therapeutic journey!

Nikki Helion
My name is Nikki and I am a Therapy Assistant with H2OT Allied Health. I am currently studying Occupational Therapy and am in my 3rd year at UniSC. When I am not working I enjoy going to the beach, spending time with my friends and going to the gym. I have experience within the disability sector as I was previously working as a support worker. Paediatrics and child development are current areas of interest and one day I would like to make an impact within the OT field to increase recognition and awareness of the profession.
