Active+ Whanganui

Emma Thomas
Occupational Therapist

About

Emma graduated from Otago polytechnic in 2018, with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. She then returned home to Whanganui and started working as a new graduate in Palmerston North Hospital. Emma is excited to join the team at Active +. Emma believes that it is important to keep a good life balance whether it be through work, sport, socially or spiritually. Emma is excited to facilitate this balance throughout her client’s rehabilitation journeys.

When not at work, Emma enjoys the outdoors whether it be tramping, skiing, swimming or playing netball in the local competition. Emma has a love for the water, growing up sailing on the Whanganui river and has recently learnt how to scuba dive.

My Goals

Emma would like to gain a greater understanding of the ACC contracts that she will be working under.

In 2020 Emma wants to start her own vegetable garden (and keep it alive)!
