About us

Welcome to Sense Therapies, where our mission is deeply rooted in celebrating every child's unique identity. Our multidisciplinary team of passionate clinicians who are all big kids at heart, including Occupational Therapists, Educational Therapist, Speech Pathologists, and Psychologists, is dedicated to providing neurodiversity-affirming care that moves beyond the traditional clinic model.

Sense Therapies was founded in 2020 by the Founders of the Sense Team Sports program, Carlien Parahi and Jesse Parahi. Together, they wanted to create a space for families where they can feel safe, supported and accepted whilst accessing the latest evidence-informed and effective therapies.

We believe therapy should be fun, engaging, and meaningful, which is why we created our custom-built clinic in The Illawarra, featuring vibrant sensory gyms and play spaces designed for movement and connection.

We are a collaborative team, and we are all unified by the goal of empowering children and families and making a genuine difference in our community every single day.
