About the presenter:

Nadine studied occupational therapy at the University of Pretoria and obtained her degree in 2009. She completed her community service year at a district hospital in Gauteng, where she was the first OT to work at the hospital.

Nadine joined Rita Henn and Partners in Auckland Park in 2011. She moved to the Rita Henn and Partners’ branch at Rehab@Muelmed in Pretoria in 2013 where she has been working since.

This is also where she developed her passion for rehabilitation with spinal cord injuries. Nadine thrives on the daily challenge that forces her to think out of the box to get a paraplegic or quadreplegic back to life. Working in physical rehabilitation for the past 13 years, has taught her to celebrate the small victories and to teach this to her patients.
