Our Team
Outdoor Revolutionaries
Our therapists aren’t afraid of a little dirt. They’re not even afraid of a lot of it. We wear welly boots to work and love it.
We achieve SO much more in our outdoor facility than we ever have in a clinic room. Child led therapy by therapists passionate about your child’s success.

Madeline Avci
Director, Principal Occupational Therapist, Head Mess Maker
Madeline isn’t going to lecture you to get rid of screens entirely, but she’s a big fan of balancing screens and the wild outdoors where your child’s senses are ignited. Something wonderful happens every time your child tries, and succeeds, at something that they thought they couldn’t do in her outdoor sessions. That success is a message to them that they can do SO much more than they think they can. That is the stuff day to day resilience and big-time tenacity is made of.

Kaitlyn Goodwin
Occupational Therapist, Outdoor Play Revolutionary
Kaitlyn’s superpower is putting herself in your child’s shoes. She intuits what they are thinking and feeling and has a magical way of connecting with little people. Her approach is support – she supports both you, your child and your family to feel confident and competent. She makes the road joyful as you work together through the day to day challenges of life.

Jennie Sampson
Occupational Therapist, Outdoor Play Revolutionary
An extraordinary series of career moves brought Jennie to the Outdoor Play Revolution. Her background as an OT in community services, mental health and specialised paediatric equipment means she’s up for any challenge. She’s enthused to help you find your own ways to thrive at play, home and at school. Jennie is particularly interested in the influence of nature-based play in promoting healthy childhood development.

Lili Taylor
Occupational Therapist, Outdoor Play Revolutionary
Lili has been enjoying the outdoors since before she could walk. Now that she’s an Outdoor Occupational Therapist she has combined two of her favourite things into every work day. That’s why you’ll often find Lili skipping into work, gardening down the hill or working together with Jump Up kids to plan their next exciting outdoor adventure. Lili’s adventurous, outdoors approach to OT is only surpassed by her compassion, kindness and ability to meet children ‘where they are at’.

Max Jessop
Occupational Therapist, Outdoor Play Revolutionary
As an Occupational Therapist, Max's mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children and families. Max brings a variety of skills from his time working in the community, to bring creative and 'out of the box' solutions to help solve any challenge! He doesn't just bring OT skills and knowledge to the table though. Max has years of camping, hiking, canoeing and surfing under his belt and nothing makes him happier than to ignite a love of all things outdoors in others. Plus, he has some wicked carpentry skills that he picked up from one of the best...his dad!

Polly Norgaard
Practice Manager, Master Admin-er
Every business should be lucky enough to have a Polly. Polly is the Master of Health Administration. Polly makes us run smoothy. She’s your go-to for all things administration. She can also give you some mad awesome advice on how to get crayon off walls and possibly hostage negotiation – she’s the Mum of two very adventurous, noisy and very much adored boys.
