Our Directors

Sarah MacInnes | Paediatric Occupational Therapist/Director | SEED Paediatric Services

Sarah MacInnes
Paediatric Occupational Therapist
Director

Understanding Sarah’s path as the founder of SEED Paediatric Services means starting with her early years in the small rural community of Narromine, NSW.

Sarah values giving back whilst earning a living, she understands the importance of family,
the need for a strong support network and the reliance of small communities on external supports.

This has formed the foundation of SEED’s values of excellence, empowerment and compassion.

Sarah’s purpose is to empower the child and family, the team and her community in SEED’s vision of becoming a leader in providing specialised therapeutic services to neurodiverse children in regional and rural NSW.

Michelle Maunder
Paediatric Occupational Therapist
Director

Michelle’s journey to becoming the co-director of SEED Paediatric Services is a testament to her unwavering commitment to the organisation’s values and her profound passion for paediatric occupational therapy. 

Michelle grew up on a family farm in Trundle. This has heavily influenced her work ethic, and the value of an Australian rural community. Michelle, along with her family, made a pivotal tree change from Sydney to Orange that eventually culminated in her joining Sarah in the early years of SEED Paediatric Services’ journey.

Michelle has a love for life, a relentless pursuit of knowledge, and a belief in the transformative power of Occupational Therapy. Michelle embodies the core principles of SEED.

Michelle’s honest, caring and passionate approach has been crucial in maintaining the high standards of service the SEED team is well known for.

Her influence is a beautiful compliment to Sarah’s leadership and together they continue to lead SEED in a direction that not only upholds our values but also propels us into new realms of possibility.

Afterhours Michelle and her husband relish in spending time with their 3 vibrant teens (and their swag of friends) cooking BBQ’s to feed the masses, travelling far and wide to sports carnivals and generally trying to keep up with a busy family, occasionally squeezing in a solo camping trip to reflect and re-connect.
