Your Functional Foundations Team

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I have a degree in psychological science and have started my master’s in occupational therapy. I have always worked in the health field with a passion for helping others. 

My background ranges from sleep medicine to palliative care to age care to nursing assistance to rehab, outpatient care, in-home care, and finally disability services. 

My hobbies include cooking, yoga, meditation, reading books, and art. I love the outdoors and being in nature, especially for all the benefits that it can bring. 

Selfless service is my motto. 

I feel like my goal in life is to serve others and highlight all the small things that bring us joy, treating everyone with respect. 

I started the company with a holistic mindset 

That all aspects of health need to be considered and understood when working with others. 

I hope and strive to help others reach their potential. Becoming capable and powerful. 

Bailey has an extensive background in the disability community and administration field. Bailey was quite literally born into a family run disability care business and was around the community her whole life, with 3 participants living full time with her family.

Moving from New Zealand to Sydney, Bailey has managed multiple disability companies starting from a Applied Behavior Analysis Centre in North Sydney, to then moving closer to home to manage a smaller family owned company in the local South West Sydney Area.

Bailey has now come on board here at Functional Foundations to help grow our business Handling all things Operations, Human Resources and Compliance.

I have worked with Functional Foundations since September 2023 and have loads of experience with young people with my work in Football coaching and swim teaching.

Hi I’m Emily!

I am currently undergoing a Bachelor in Psychological Science.
