Hayley is a mental health occupational therapist and the creator of HealthspOT Integrative Wellbeing. Hayley has been shaped by her own chronic health and healing journey, which has empowered her to understand the complexities and stressors of a healing journey, giving a lived experience that informs her clinical practice with clients.

Hayley is dedicated to supporting adults and teens with chronic health and mental health conditions. Her passion for integrative healthcare drives her to treat the root cause of health issues, helping clients improve their emotional wellbeing, daily functioning, and overall independence.

Hayley is trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Informed Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training, and draws upon these skills as a part of her approach.

When Hayley isn’t working or studying, she loves to go to the gym, yoga, beach walks and spending time with her partner, family and her dog Rosie.
