“I meet with Lu every week for one hour and it’s the best one hour of my working week. Lu is a super knowledgeable and experienced OT and a friendly and approachable mentor. She has provided me with invaluable insight and advice on my caseload and has helped me build up my skillset as a mental health OT. Since working with Lu, I have noticed that I am calmer and more confident in my approach to my work and clients, this has allowed me to be creative, have fun and enjoy my job as an OT.
In essence, thank you!”
Lucynda has been a great mentor and someone I have looked up towards since starting supervision with her back on my final OT student placement. I have gain so much knowledge and experience through working with her. She is definitely someone you want and need on your team, her extensive experience and knowledge will guide you to be the best you can. She really does go above and beyond to ensure you feel supported and that you are not left on your own. I feel ready to face my busy weeks, knowing that I have her by my side.
I have worked with both NDIS and private clients for 5 years, and it can often be difficult to find a supervisor who is well versed around the expectations within the NDIS industry. Lucynda is an absolute light in all the chaos. Without a doubt, her guidance and expertise were invaluable in navigating the intricate landscape of mental health within both the NDIS system and public system. Lucynda’s unique perspective, coupled with a deep understanding of the complexities deep-rooted in mental health brought clarity to challenging situations. She is not just a supervisor, but a mentor and guide whose influence will continue to shape my practice for years to come.
Having founded, extensively built, and sold her own successful allied health clinics, functional fitness gym and hospitality businesses, Lucynda is now a successful investor and University Lecturer. She pursues her passion of building and assisting other Occupational Therapists in navigating complex funding schemes, developing clinical skills, and facilitating training programs to enable growth and mastery, to improve clinician’s skill sets and confidence. This drive inspired the creation of Altitude Health Consulting, a platform dedicated to providing guidance and support in this intricate landscape.
