About Us

Functional Living was born in 2018, with a need to help people live as functionally, independently, and amazingly as possible, so that they can do all of the day-to-day activities that are important to them.

Functional Living service in Alice Springs

‘Hi, I’m
Dione Brockwell’!

I’ve been fortunate to have worked as an Occupational Therapist in the Top End of the Northern Territory, Australia for over 17 years. During this time, I’ve worked with a diverse range of people, such as:
  • people who are older, and who have got some life experience under their belt
  • people who have varying levels of disability and function
  • people who are palliative and are experiencing their end-of-life journey
  • people who have experienced life-changing events such as cancer, trauma, or significant injury
My journey so far has given me:
  • an appreciation of the complexities of the human body
  • the knowledge that life can be way too short
  • and the joy of learning about another person’s journey along the way
We can learn so much from others when we have an open heart and an open mind. I am privileged to be able to provide services that can make a difference to so many.

Our services are tailored to suit your individual needs. Because, let’s face it – who wants a cookie cutter approach when we are all wonderfully unique.

Our client focus ensures that our services are delivered with an abundance of care, compassion, and empathy.
