EVIE MARCHETTI
SENIOR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
Evie is based in our Kununurra clinic and services in the East Kimberly Region.
BIOGRAPHY
Evie grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Perth, spending most of her time adventuring outside or playing sports. Those close to Evie would describe her as ‘an old soul with a child like spirit’ and she proudly carries this trait into her work as an Occupational Therapist. Away from work, Evie enjoys hiking, reading, waterfall adventures, family time, drinking coffee and making pasta.
Evie started at Calm and Connected as a Therapy Assistant in 2017, after volunteering at Camp Confidence. Her final year university placements in Vietnam and Broome further cemented her love for Occupational Therapy and her love for doing things authentically and practically. Evie quickly fell in love with all that Calm and Connected is about and transitioned into her role as an Occupational Therapist in 2019.
APPROACH
Evie takes a connection and relationships based approach to therapy, placing the utmost importance and value on her relationship with clients, their families and their support networks. Fun, simplicity and understanding are Evie’s core practice principles.
Evie believes that there is always more to learn, more to see and more to experience, which is why she continually works to increase understanding in all its forms. Evie is passionate about accepting people as they are and loves working with families, schools, therapists and wider society to better understand how we can collectively foster the brilliance of children in their purest forms. Regulation is a skill that many of us often take for granted, which is why Evie is so passionate about helping others understand the intricacies of their brains and bodies and how these shape our behavioural responses in everyday life.
Evie is currently based in our Kununurra clinic, proudly working with people across the East Kimberley and enjoys all the benefits of life in the slow, sunny lane.
