MEET CARLA ERASMUS | PHYSIOTHERAPIST 💙

Movement is about so much more than muscles and joints. It's about exploring the world, gaining independence, participating in everyday activities, and discovering what your body can do.

Meet Carla Erasmus, physiotherapist at Leaps and Bounds Multidiscipline Practice.

Carla is passionate about neurological conditions and chronic pain in adults, and she uses her physiotherapy background to help clients work towards their individual functional goals.

Through hippotherapy, the horses' movement can provide carefully selected sensory and postural challenges within a therapeutic session, helping the therapist work towards specific rehabilitation objectives.

For Carla, the most rewarding part of her work is seeing others enjoy and love the space as much as she does.
Outside the practice, Carla enjoys riding her horse, September, running up mountains and all kinds of crazy adventures.

We're excited to share more about the people who make Leaps and Bounds special!

MEET KARLIEN VAN DER LINDE | OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST 🌳

Every team member brings something unique!
As co-founder of Leaps and Bounds Multidiscipline Practice and an Occupational therapist trained in hippotherapy through the South African Hippotherapy Association, Karlien helps bring together occupational therapy and equine-assisted intervention in an individualised therapeutic environment.

Her approach to therapy is shaped by a relationship-based framework, and she marvels at the intricately designed human brain and body that can move, adapt and grow with targeted inputs.
"I also love the idea that intentional play can change the landscape!"

One thing you might not know about Karlien is that she loves dancing and wasabi!💃
Stay tuned as we introduce more of our team!

MEET ANNE FOLEY | OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST 🐎

Meet Anne Foley, founder of Leaps and Bounds Multidiscipline Practice and an Occupational therapist with a passion for Hippotherapy and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.

What does Anne love most about her work?
Watching the benefits/healing of connection and presence that people experience with the horses. I love that there are many elements I can plan for that the horses faithfully provide, and many surprises that arise in people’s connection and work with horses that have me thinking, " Wow! Didn’t see this coming!

Outside the therapy arena, you might find Anne riding or running mountains.⛰️

We're grateful for the passion and dedication she brings to Leaps and Bounds and the clients we serve.
Get to know Anne a little better!

The horse is more than a tool…

It provides:
• Movement
• Sensory input
• Emotional connection

This unique combination is what makes hippotherapy so powerful.

And that makes all the difference.
