Holly Rapose

Holly is a qualified and registered occupational therapist graduating from Curtin University in 2017. She has worked within the disability sector since 2013 and has experience working with adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum, neurodivergence, people who are hard-of-hearing or deaf, and people with chronic pain and complex mental health. As a person who has experience living with hearing loss and a chronic illness, she is passionate about enabling people to live their best lives. She considers herself a "mind and body OT" and enjoys working in the areas of mental health, trauma, pain, sleep, hypermobility and neurodiversity. 

She has worked within the NDIS since 2018, working with a variety of NDIS participants of all different backgrounds, ages, and abilities. Since starting at Lifeworks in 2020, she has enjoyed working with a mixture of NDIS, private, and Medicare clients. 

When she isn’t working as an OT, you’ll either find her somewhere in Perth swing dancing or relaxing on the couch watching DIY videos (but never actually doing any DIYs…)
