Our Team
Gaynor - Director & OT
Hi, I’m Gaynor, the Director and Occupational Therapist behind Flourish and Thrive Therapy.
I’m passionate about helping people live meaningful, independent, and fulfilling lives. My approach is all about blending clinical knowledge with genuine care — meeting people where they’re at and supporting them to achieve their goals in ways that feel practical, personal, and empowering.
I created Flourish and Thrive whilst I was fortunate to travel Australia, reaching and supporting NDIS participants and Aged Care Clients in far North Queensland. Since then, I have returned to Perth and begun building relationships and meeting many other industry professionals whilst continuing to support those in FN QLD and NSW.
I love that my work gives me the freedom to balance my own wellbeing while helping others find theirs. The flexibility of working independently means I can show up as my best self — rested, present, and fully engaged with every client I support.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me sipping coffee or enjoying a hard earned glass of wine, learning how to make pottery, spending quality time with my husband, family, friends and Chase. I spend lots of time training Chase (see below), working on our property and building a life along side my wonderful husband in between being fortunate to support my wonderful clients.
At Flourish and Thrive Therapy, my goal is to listen, learn and provide supports in a holistic and person centred therapy through a collaborative and evidenced based approach with my clients at the centre of everything I do.
Chase
Chase is our Australian Shepherd x Border Collie. He has high career aspirations of becoming Flourish and Thrive’s very own Therapy Dog.
Chase has reached 11 months old which means he is about to be trained to start his assistance dog career!
Keep your eyes peeled for Animal Assisted Therapy in the near future. His training is about to start at 12 months of age and we look forward to providing this anticipated service to our clients in the future.
Look how much he has grown!
Reuben - Director
Reuben is our co-director and all things administration, accounting and IT (and Gaynor’s husband). We have been fortunate to have had Reuben build an application to keep FNTT running smoothly from the ground up.
He is an electrical engineer and auto electrician by trade and continues to work tirelessly after hours and behind the scene’s supporting Gaynor with the key business tasks so she can focus on the OT space.
Outside of work, you’ll find him eating all kinds of Japanese food, drinking good coffee, travelling and working hard on anything he possibly can.
He is our very own ‘do it all guy’ and we are so grateful to have him as apart of our team.
