Grace Baylis
Occupational Therapist

About

Grace completed her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at Shenandoah University in Virginia, USA, in 2007. Since graduating, she has worked across a broad range of settings in the USA, Australia, and New Zealand — including acute care, rehabilitation, community practice, paediatrics, and return-to-work programmes.

Originally from the United States, Grace now calls Ōakura home, where she enjoys life with her family and being part of the Taranaki community.

Grace is passionate about supporting both children and adults to reach their fullest potential and engage more meaningfully in everyday life. She brings warmth, empathy, and a holistic approach to her practice — helping clients build confidence, independence, and wellbeing.

Outside of work, Grace loves yoga, good food, laughter, travel, time outdoors, and sharing life with family and friends.
