Supporting Children to Participate and Thrive
About Nourish & Harmony Therapy
Nourish & Harmony Therapy provides specialist paediatric Occupational Therapy to schools and families across Bromley, Beckenham and surrounding areas.
We work primarily within schools, supporting children to participate more fully in the everyday activities that matter to them. By working within the child's natural environment, we can understand their strengths and needs in context and collaborate directly with the adults supporting them.

Meet Noelia
Paediatric Occupational Therapist | Founder
Nourish & Harmony Therapy was founded by Noelia Hernández-Martínez, a paediatric Occupational Therapist with experience supporting children across clinical, educational and community settings. Her practice is informed by specialist postgraduate training in Sensory Integration and a strong focus on helping children participate confidently in the everyday activities that matter to them.
What Families & Schools Say
Kind words from families and education professionals Noelia has supported throughout her professional practice.
— Sammy's parents
"Noelia Hernandez-Martinez has been a wonderful asset to our school over the last couple of years as our commissioned OT. She is highly knowledgeable and professional and works effectively with pupils as well as advising staff and writing effective targets and reports."
— Nicola, SENCO
"Noelia is everything you could wish for in your child’s occupational therapist. She is kind, warm, and very professional. Our son did extremely well under her care.
Our son went from being a child with a short attention span to one who could focus much better. He became much calmer in the classroom and, most importantly, he learned to understand his feelings and express his needs. We cannot recommend her enough.”
“Noelia Hernandez-Martinez is a brilliant therapist. She is calm, kind and takes a huge amount of care in her work. My daughter is noticeably happier and more regulated after each session and we have noticed she is more able to articulate how she is feeling since having the sessions. Highly recommended.”
“Our son has been attending occupational therapy with Noelia for just under two years. Over that time we have noticed big improvements in his emotional regulation and ability to focus. Noelia is very patient and understanding and had to work hard to earn Jacob's trust and attention. Jacob's occupational therapy sessions have made a huge difference to his wellbeing.”
