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.

Kate Sargeant

Joining the Bloom Crew in mid 2020, smack-bang in the middle of a pandemic is no easy feat, but Kate is not one to turn away from a challenge! Super-organised and a true voice of reason, this Gryffindor is our own real-life Hermione, bringing a bit of magic to the team.
Elliahn Freer
Occupational Therapist
Elliahn has had many hats at Bloom Wellbeing, starting her journey as a weekend receptionist, then onto an Occupational Therapy Assistant as she completed her studies, and now we are thrilled to have her as an Occupational Therapist. Elliahn has great attention to detail, a love of being super organised and has slotted into her new role perfectly, having already created wonderful relationships with her clients.

Joining the Bloom crew at the beginning of 2023, Mitch he has hit the ground running as an OT. Not only is he a great team player but he is committed to an inclusive therapy style, creating meaningful relationships with his clients and their families. When not at work, you will find Mitch being super active, most likely playing Soccer.
Lucinda Munro
Occupational Therapist
With a permanent smile and can-do attitude, Lucinda has quickly earned her reputation as the nicest person in the world – just one of the reasons we’re so happy to have her on board as an Occupational Therapist.

Kayla McGrath
Office Manager & Group Programs Coordinator
The first smiling face you see as you enter our Port Adelaide clinic, Kayla is also the voice you’ll hear when you telephone our office, and the person to go to when you need a sticker at the end of your OT session! Her bubbly and cheerful personality means you’ll always feel welcome visiting our office.
Emily Munro
Administration Officer
Our newest weekend Receptionist Emily had big shoes to fill after Elliahn took on her OT role, but in true Emily fashion she has gracefully slotted in with a smile on her face and a keen attitude to learn. She spends her Saturday’s utilising her youthful tech knowledge to create content and design our Canva graphics you see all over our socials.
