Amy Volker (practice manager and therapist) qualified as an occupational therapist in 2014, and then worked in Namibia at a paediatric practice for two years. During that time, she learned a lot about therapy, assessment as well as managing a business. She brought vocational assessments to that practice before returning to Johannesburg in 2018. She then worked under another practice before starting her own practice (right before the COVID-19 pandemic). She is married to Greg and has a little German Short-haired Pointer puppy.

 “What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy.
'Help,' said the horse.
'Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse. 'It's refusing to give up.”
