Support Worker
Sioban
Sioban, lovingly known as Shiv, joined Empowering Through Mindfulness Disability Support in January 2025. She brings a calm, grounded presence that helps participants feel safe, supported, and deeply connected. Shiv’s approach is holistic and earth-centred — she takes the time to listen, to understand, and to create moments that feel nourishing and balanced for each individual.Before entering the disability sector, Shiv gained extensive experience in roles where empathy, connection, and communication were central. These foundations, combined with her natural warmth, allow her to build genuine relationships that go beyond practical support. Whether sharing a walk in the fresh air, preparing wholesome meals, or simply sitting in conversation, Shiv encourages participants to reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
Shiv supports both NDIS participants and Aged Care clients, bringing the same mindful, nature-inspired care to every interaction. She believes in honouring each person’s voice, fostering independence, and celebrating the small victories that create a life of meaning and joy.
Shiv holds a current First Aid and CPR Certificate, Blue and Yellow Cards (Qld), Police Check, and NDIS Worker Screening.
