Mandy de Cesare

I’m Mandy, founder of Therapy4Good and an Occupational Therapist with more than 30 years of experience supporting people living with disability, injury and complex health conditions.

Throughout my career, I have worked alongside adolescents, adults and older people to help them build independence, improve daily function and continue participating in the activities that matter most to them.

I understand that many people are navigating significant changes in their lives when they seek occupational therapy support. My approach is always centred around compassion, collaboration and respect — ensuring every person feels heard, supported and empowered throughout the process.

Areas of Experience

I have extensive experience supporting people living with:

  • Acquired and traumatic brain injury
  • Progressive neurological conditions
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Physical and intellectual disability
  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • Limb loss and amputations
  • Chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions
  • Congenital and genetic conditions

I also specialise in:

  • Functional capacity and care needs assessments
  • Assistive technology assessments
  • Practical home modifications
  • Capacity-building occupational therapy
  • Complex and catastrophic injury assessment and recovery

Continued Learning

Most recently, I completed advanced training in supporting sleep through an occupational therapy lens, with a focus on improving sleep quality, fatigue management, comfort, routines and daily wellbeing for individuals experiencing sleep disturbance or reduced functional capacity.

I’m committed to ongoing professional development and evidence-based practice to ensure I can continue providing the highest quality support to my clients.
