Movementum offers a combination of workshops, training, assessments and consultation to ensure both individuals and their support teams are informed, educated and empowered to deliver quality care.
Openness and respect are the foundations for how we work at Movementum – we get to know our clients personally and truly understand what’s important to them, which shapes where we focus our efforts. As a team, we share a passion for enabling all of our clients and the people who care for them the best possible quality of life.
We look forward to working with you to move well and achieve great things!
About Natasha Nutt
Occupational Therapist, WHS Consultant, Trainer and Founder
Registered Occupational Therapist and mum of three, Natasha has specialised in manual handling, risk assessment and support of people with disabilities for 15 years. Natasha has extensive experience in assessment and training to achieve best-practice processes for individuals, staff and carers. Natasha has worked in collaboration with government agencies, care facilities, schools, workplaces and in the home, and is experienced in completing funding applications that comply with various funding bodies including NDIS.
Natasha’s passion for movement, healthy living, and helping others to reach their greatest potential is at the heart of what Movementum does:
“It’s in the lounge rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms of hundreds of homes that I found my passion - assisting people with disabilities to identify and strive for their personal goals, while also supporting those who provide the day-to-day care to help get them there.
Everyone has value, worth, skills and capabilities – I enjoy helping people tap into these in whatever roles they fulfil. Over the years much has changed for me personally and professionally, however the initial passion for people and their carers remains.”
Natasha holds:
Master of Science (Occupational Health and Safety), with Distinction
Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy), with Honours

She holds a Graduate Entry of Masters (Occupational Therapy).
Azaria loves supporting and watching people thrive to live their best lives and be the best versions of themselves.
Outside of her OT life, Azaria is either on a tennis court; or has her head in a book with a cuppa next to her. Azaria quotes CS Lewis saying: “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”.
Chloe van Gool, Allied Health Assistant
Chloe has a certificate 3 in Individual Support and certificate 4 in Allied Health Assistance, she aspires to be an OT one day and we have no doubt she will be.
Chloe first became interested in support work when supporting her brother living with autism to attend and participate in sporting and other events while in high school. Since then she has worked towards her qualifications and built on much experience in her support worker roles.
Chloe is a solutions seeker and says “I believe we should get rid of the ‘no you can’t’ and bring in more ‘here’s what we can try’.” She shows genuine care for everyone and strives to support clients to achieve and maintain an independent, safe and comfortable quality of life.
In her leisure time, Chloe is an avid reader, with her own book room and she also loves to spend time with her 2 beautiful (and very energetic) dogs.
Tyson Nutt, Tech Consultant and General Troubleshooter
As Natasha’s husband, Tyson has been part of the Moventum team since day dot - helping with tech, business advice, coffee making, late-night listening and generally just being an all round helper of things.
His tech knowledge also means he sometimes helps our clients out with technology which helps them live more independently, such as setting up Alexa for voice enabled lighting and temperature control.
“I’m incredibly proud of what Movementum has become. Natasha sets a really high bar for the work that she does, and she instills that across all of the team. They work hard, and they genuinely care for the people and organisations they’re helping,” says Tyson.
In his spare time, he enjoys mountain biking, surfing, swimming and the occasional red wine.
