ABOUT RENEE

Hello! I'm Renee.

​

I am a Developmental Educator, Play Therapist, ADHDer, continuous learner

and unlearner, and the practice owner at Grow Paediatric Therapy.

​

I am passionate and excited about the power of play, relationships, and the inclusion of all children. This passion, along with my unique combination of education, training and experience is what motivated me to establish Grow Paediatric Therapy; a safe place for every child to grow.
