Our team
MEET
The Bloom Crew
Bloom Wellbeing is a family focused Occupational Therapy service based in the beautiful city of Adelaide. We provide consultancy and therapeutic services for children, mothers and families from an Occupational Therapy framework.
Established by Occupational Therapist, Sarah Hausler in 2014, Bloom Wellbeing provides services in the western and northern suburbs of Adelaide, from our clinics at Port Adelaide. We also offer a mobile service to schools, kindergartens and child care centres, upon request.
Our Founder
Sarah Hausler
Director and Principal Occupational Therapist
With more than 20 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist, Sarah has worked in a range of industries, with people of all ages, from birth to the elderly.
In 2014, Sarah made the leap to open her own private practice, which in time has grown to become Bloom Wellbeing.
As an Occupational Therapist, Sarah loves to flex her creativity and to come up with innovative solutions for the people and families she woks with.
Sarah is passionate about the role of OTs in supporting women and is the creator of the Well Girls program which helps to provide education and support to autistic girls about puberty and personal life skills; and the Meaningful Motherhood program, which supports new mothers from an Occupational Therapy perspective.
