My Story
About Me
Alet Byers Occupational Therapist is owned and founded by Alet Byers…that’s me! I studied at the University of Stellenbosch and graduated in 2013.
I completed my community service year in East London at Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in 2014. I then worked for a private practice in Kimberley where I saw children and also worked in a psychiatry hospital. Here I learned a lot about group facilitation and mental health.
In 2016, I began working at Kimberley Hospital, and it was in the NICU that I discovered my deep passion for all things related to babies. I cherished every moment—leading group sessions for mothers, collaborating with nurses and doctors to enhance the NICU environment, and following up with little ones to monitor their development.
In 2021, I became a mother for the first time, and through this journey, I realized how important it is for new moms to be well-informed, equipped, and supported. I developed a profound compassion for the uncertainty and anxiety that come with motherhood. Every stage of a baby and child’s development is unique, each bringing its own challenges. I have a special interest in the connection between sensory processing and emotional well-being, and I love working with little ones in this area.
I started this practice for moms like you and me—to help us better prepare for delivery, the fourth trimester, parenting, and beyond. My hope is that this practice makes life easier, richer, and a whole lot more fun for both moms and their little ones.
