Passionate supervision practice and education for allied health and community service professionals
Meet The Supervision Connection Team
It's great to meet you! We are Nat and Jo, long time colleagues and friends who are united by our passion for clinical-professional supervision and support for health and community service professionals. To be completely honest, we're both supervision nerds! With a combined experience of over 55 years - across public health, clinician education, community services, policy, leadership and private practice - we bring creativity, expertise, humanity, empathy and curiosity to our approach when working with fellow professionals. Check out our bios below and get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
