About us
Ingrid van der Westhuizen
Ingrid van der Westhuizen graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2006. In 2007 she completed her community service year at Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital in Krugersdorp.
She started working at a Private practice in Midrand in 2008, and the following year opened her own Private Practice at Christ Church School in Midrand, where she still practices to date. Ingrid has a passion for children who are often misunderstood due to their behaviour.
She realised soon in her career that the way to really understand children is to educate oneself. She completed her Ayers Sensory Integration® qualification in 2010. She believes that she is never too old to learn and continues to further her knowledge and skill. Ingrid is a firm believer in the power of neuroplasticity and therefore offers a variety of therapy programmes including TOMATIS®, Interactive Metronome® and ReadLS™.
Minenhle Noluthando Ziyanda Mthembu
Minenhle Mthembu completed her bachelor’s in occupational therapy in 2017 at Stellenbosch University. In 2018 she completed her community service at Helen Joseph Hospital.
From 2019- 2022 she worked for the Gauteng Department of Education at a school for learners with special needs. This is where her passion for advocacy and mental health was fanned into flame. Minenhle has a special interest in promoting the mental health of adults and children and she is currently completing an advanced diploma in Psychodrama. She works part time at a mental health clinic where she facilitates groups for adolescents and adults with various mental health conditions.
Minenhle loves having fun and she enjoys brightening up the room with her smile and cheesy jokes. She is a firm believer in meeting and serving people at their place of need and is excited to support both the child and the parent.
