Elize Janse van Rensburg
Occupational Therapist & Founder

Built to Bloom was founded by occupational therapists, Elize Janse van Rensburg and Annamarie van Jaarsveld. Both are passionate practitioners and educators in the fields of paediatrics and sensory integration.

Built to Bloom was founded as an online platform from which resources, education and workshop opportunities can be made accessible to occupational therapists, parents, educators and caregivers. More than 50 years combined experience allow us to understand the difficulties children, parents, educators and caregivers experience when faced with children with developmental challenges. We are committed to share our knowledge, experience and skills towards a better future for children.
