Principle Occupational Therapist and Director of NOT Limited.

I trained in Northampton, England and have over 30 years’ clinical and managerial experience working in the UK, USA and here in NZ.

I’ve been living in Grey Valley since 2014 and thrive on engaging with local communities.

My specialist interest is paediatrics which began in 1994 working within the education system in Florida USA.

Downtime is spent on our section or more usually I have a project knitting/crochet on the go.

Oh… I also teach Tribal Belly Dancing in Greymouth @ Dazana Fusion… who knew!?

Married to Joy and oversees the administration and finance side of NOT Limited.

I am Co-Chair of the Consumer Advisory Group to the Health, Quality and Safety Commission (HQSC) and was also fortunate to be involved in the development of The code of expectations for health entities’ engagement with consumers and whānau which really drives the work we do.

I’ve recently worked with Takiwā Poutini programme manager ensuring that their Terms of Reference (ToR) aligns with the Code in how they engage consumers, whanau and community here on the Coast.

Quiet time will usually find me suited up tending my hives and tackling all the small jobs being an Occupational Apiarist brings.

Hi, I’m Eliza, an Occupational Therapist for NOT Limited.

I graduated in 2019, additionally completing my postgraduate certificate in occupational therapy in 2021.

I have spent the past 4 years working for the Manatū Hauora-Ministry of Health, often in hospital settings and home environments. It is my passion to support people to achieve their goals to lead a fulfilling life.

In my spare time, I’m a tennis player, a gardener, a family lover and an outdoors adventurer, just to name a few. I’ve lived on the West Coast for the past 2.5 years, and really enjoy it here. Originally, I’m from the Otago region.
