About Us
“Empowering You to Live with Purpose, Confidence, and Independence.”
At N M Occupational Therapy, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive — no matter what challenges life brings. Based in Windermere, Durban, our practice is dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives, restore their independence, and rediscover their potential through compassionate and evidence-based occupational therapy.
Our Story
Founded by a passionate and dedicated occupational therapist, N M Occupational Therapy was born out of a deep desire to make a lasting impact in the lives of people facing physical, neurological, or mental health challenges. Over the years, we’ve seen how life can change in an instant — through injury, illness, or emotional struggle — and how the right support can help individuals find new meaning, resilience, and confidence.
What began as a small, client-centred practice has now evolved into a recognized and respected therapy service provider in Durban, helping individuals, professionals, and organizations throughout South Africa.
In 2024, our commitment to excellence and community well-being was recognized when we received the Woman of Wonder (WOW) Award, an honour that reflects our ongoing dedication to uplifting others and providing outstanding service.
Our Philosophy
We understand that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Every person’s experience is unique, which is why we take the time to listen, assess, and tailor our approach to meet each individual’s goals.
At N M Occupational Therapy, we believe:
Healing is a collaboration between therapist and client.
Empowerment begins when individuals see their own strengths.
True recovery involves both the mind and body working together.
Our goal is not just to help clients cope — but to help them live meaningfully again, with renewed confidence in their abilities and purpose.
