About Us

Thriving Lives Co. is a local, interdisciplinary allied health practice that was founded and exists with a core purpose to empower our community to live a life they love. We have a team of highly trained, passionate, and experienced Exercise Physiologists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Psychologists who work with individuals of all ages, health backgrounds, and stages of recovery.

We’re not your typical health practice, as we take the time to truly listen to and understand your needs in our person-centred approach. We believe that your health is unique to you, and that’s why we provide tailored, evidence-based care that’s focused on you as a unique individual. Our goal is to help you achieve your goals, whether that’s getting back to meaningful activities, improving your health and wellbeing, and/or managing your disability, disease, illness, or pain in a more effective way.

We believe that everyone has the potential to live a life they love, no matter what challenges they may be facing. That’s why we’re passionate about helping you to overcome your health challenges and achieve your goals. Our therapists will work with you to set achievable goals via identification of any barriers that may be holding you back, development of strategies to overcome these barriers, and provision of the support you need to reach your goals. We’ll also provide you with ongoing support and accountability to help you stay on track.

Our Therapeutic Approach

We understand that change can be difficult, which is why we take a compassionate and non-judgmental approach in our therapy. Our team strives to create a safe and supportive environment where our clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. We work to build strong rapport with our clients and to foster a trusting relationship built on mutual respect and understanding.

As part of our approach to healthcare, we believe in working as a team with our clients to make lasting changes that promote long-term health and wellness, and enhance their overall quality of life and well-being. Our therapists show unconditional positive regard, believe in the client’s capacity for change, and honour that each client is an expert on their own life. We respect our clients’ autonomy and independence, and we work collaboratively with them to develop solutions and strategies that align with their values and strengths. Our therapists go beyond simply treating symptoms as we believe that by taking a coaching approach with a biopsychosocial lens, we can tap into our client’s own strengths, resources, and motivations to make lasting changes to positively impact their lives.

We love what we do and do what we love

Our team are like-minded, evidence-based, passionate professionals that have all been purposefully and thoughtfully brought into, and attracted to our team, due to our shared growth mindset, values, and enthusiasm for making a meaningful impact within our community. It’s easy to have fun and love what you do when you’re surrounded with colleagues, friends, and your work family, who all share the same vision.

We all invest in and empower each other to be the best we can be, both professionally and personally, so that we all can lead truly thriving lives. We know that thriving team members have a flow on effect into our clients’ lives and the wider community, as it enables our team to go the extra mile and to have an amplified impact which leads to incredible outcomes for our clients.

We have fun together

Despite the serious nature of the work that we do, we have found ways to have fun together, both inside and outside of work, so that our clients have fun too.

From team-building activities to celebrating birthdays and other milestones, we believe that having fun together is an important part of building strong relationships. If you are looking for a team that values community and camaraderie, then you’ll fit right in with our family.

Our team have a channel dedicated to fun; home to our meme wars, a pun or 10, ripper banter, and, well, general fun! We come together for regular team socials, as well as our annual culture day, which is a day we plan for all year where we block out everyone’s calendars to make magic happen, bringing us together even more as a team and enabling us to be even better for our clients.

Being part of our allied health clinic team is a blast! We’ve created an awesome work culture and atmosphere that’s fun, friendly, supportive, encouraging, and inspiring. We’re all about lifting each other up, celebrating the wins, and learning together from the lessons we encounter along the way.
