Supporting people across the South West
MEET YOUR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST
Marleen Boom is an AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist with postgraduate qualifications in Occupational Therapy and six years of experience supporting people from all walks of life.
Passionate about helping her clients live more independently and confidently in their own homes, Marleen draws on her expertise in assistive technology, complex home modifications, functional capacity assessments and animal-assisted therapy. She takes pride in finding practical, client-centred solutions that make a real difference to everyday life.
Based in Bunbury and working throughout the South West, Marleen works predominantly with NDIS participants. She values building strong relationships with her clients and focuses on helping them achieve their goals – whether that means developing new skills, improving physical and emotional wellbeing, adapting their environment, or enhancing their overall independence and quality of life.
Marleen’s journey into Occupational Therapy is deeply personal. After experiencing the transformative impact of working with an Occupational Therapist herself, she was inspired to pursue the profession. Since then, she has gained wide-ranging experience across residential aged care, schools, and community-based settings.
An active member of her local community, Marleen also contributes her expertise to the City of Bunbury’s Co-Design Access Panel (CoDAP), helping ensure the city’s buildings, facilities and open spaces are welcoming and accessible for everyone.

animal-assisted therapy
Liberty Occupational Therapy offers Animal-Assisted Therapy with two accredited therapy dogs, Kuma and Miku, to help clients achieve their goals. Sessions are tailored to the individual, supporting outcomes such as fine motor skills, emotional regulation, mental health, confidence, routine building, and more.
Kuma
Kuma is an 8-year-old Field Spaniel and a certified therapy dog since 2021, having passed both obedience and temperament assessments. She is a regular visitor at aged care facilities, where her calm, loving nature, soulful brown eyes, and long, floppy ears never fail to bring comfort and smiles to everyone she meets.
Miku
Miku is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever who completed her therapy dog training in 2023. Full of energy and affection, she brightens every session, loves engaging clients with a game of fetch, and delights in a good back scratch. Her playful, friendly personality makes her a favourite among all who meet her.
