Nurturing hearts, building brighter futures.
About AuraKind Pathways
Hi, I’m Divarnia, an occupational therapist and the founder of AuraKind Pathways. I’m also a mum of two boys, and my personal and professional journeys are deeply connected. When my youngest son was born prematurely, I experienced firsthand the challenges families face when navigating early development and wellbeing. That experience shaped my practice — one grounded in empathy, understanding, and collaboration.
I have extensive experience working with children, young people, and adults across the community, helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to engage meaningfully in everyday life. My work spans paediatrics, mental health, and vision-related therapy, with a strong focus on supporting emotional regulation, sensory processing, fine motor development, and daily living skills.
At AuraKind Pathways, my goal is to provide therapy that nurtures growth, builds confidence, and celebrates individuality. I take a flexible, family-centred approach that values connection, creativity, and practical strategies to support long-term progress.
I believe therapy should be kind, empowering, and realistic — meeting each person where they are and helping them move forward with confidence.
✨ Every journey begins with understanding — and together, we’ll find the pathway that feels right for you and your family.

Getting to know me
Hi, I’m Divarnia, an occupational therapist with extensive experience in paediatrics, visual therapy, and mental health. I studied occupational therapy in South Africa and have worked across both South African and Australian settings, gaining experience in community and medical models of practice. This has allowed me to support children, young people, adults, and families in a wide range of areas, from developing everyday skills to enhancing confidence, independence, and wellbeing.
I have had much success supporting patients and participants of all ages, tailoring therapy to their unique strengths and needs. I have also enjoyed working with underprivileged communities and providing group therapy, with a focus on early childhood and mental health, to deliver practical and empowering support.
My multicultural background — Indian and South African — informs my practice and gives me a unique perspective on working with families from diverse backgrounds. I am passionate about creating therapy that is practical, empowering, and meaningful.
Through my work, I aim to help individuals thrive at home, at school, at work, and in the community, supporting their growth in a way that is both positive and lasting.
