Why Choose Full Capacity Health
You might be here because…
You’re still functioning - work, family, life - but you know you’re not running at full capacity, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep it up.
You’ve seen the doctors and the specialists. You’re doing everything right. But you still don’t feel like yourself.
You’ve quietly started cancelling the things you used to love, and you can’t remember the last time you felt genuinely well.
You know you need to rest and recover but the life you’ve built doesn’t leave room for that. Yet.
If any of that felt familiar, you’re exactly who Full Capacity Health is for.
About Full Capacity Health
Recovery coaching for the woman who can’t afford to stop.
Full Capacity Health is a recovery coaching practice for professional women navigating chronic pain, fatigue, burnout or overwhelm — without giving up the career, the family or the life they’ve worked hard to build.
This isn’t about slowing down. It’s about building the capacity to keep going — sustainably, and on your terms.
We bring 20 years of occupational therapy and clinical rehabilitation experience, evidence-based methods including Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and a coaching approach grounded in your real life — not an idealised version of it.
How it works
The path back to full capacity.
Every client arrives with a different version of the same experience. What we build is specific to you.
We start with
where you are
A proper conversation — not a form. We want to understand your body, your life and what full capacity actually means for you. No referral needed.
We build a plan that
fits your real life
Not a template. A coaching plan shaped around your work, your family, your body and your energy — as it is right now.
You build back, without burning out again
Steady, supported progress — physical and cognitive capacity rebuilt at a pace that sticks.
You return to full capacity,
on your terms
Not just managing. Not just coping. Back to the energy, the clarity and the life you know is possible.
Our Services
Ways to work together.
Recovery coaching — fatigue & burnout
“I’m exhausted, but I can’t stop.”
A structured four-phase program — stabilise, regulate, rebuild, thrive — to restore energy and cognitive function without dismantling the life you’ve built. Evidence-based and clinically grounded.
Medicare rebates available for eligible clients.
Retraining
persistent pain
“I’ve tried everything. The pain is still there.”
Using Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) — a neuroscience-led approach that helps the brain learn the body is safe. This isn’t pain management. It’s pain recovery
Medicare, TAC and WorkSafe funded options available.
Return to work
“I want to go back — but I’m not ready to undo everything.”
Graded, personalised return-to-work plans following illness, injury, cancer treatment, psychological health episodes or parental leave. Coordinated with your treating team and employer where relevant.
Medicare, TAC and WorkSafe funded. Private clients welcome.
Career coaching
& work wellbeing
“Something has to change. I’m just not sure what.”
For women questioning their direction, managing a midlife shift in how they think about work, or finding a way to stay in a career they value without it costing them their health.
Thrive Midlife
12-week program
A structured program for women ready to do the work.
Six individual sessions over 12 weeks. Covers energy, routines, cognitive load, movement, work roles and long-term sustainability. Grounded in neuroscience, occupational therapy and strengths-based coaching.
Our Story
Hi, I’m Emma.
I’m an occupational therapist and recovery coach with 20 years of clinical experience — across acute health, rehabilitation and return to work — and I started Full Capacity Health because I kept seeing the same woman in my rooms.
Capable, driven, and quietly falling apart. Managing pain or fatigue on top of a full career and a life she’d worked hard to build. Not looking for someone to tell her to slow down — needing someone to help her figure out how to keep going, sustainably, on her own terms.
That’s exactly who I’m here for.
