Welcome to Zi Mei Events

Zi Mei Events was established in 2008 as a provider of  quality, evidence-based professional development workshops for allied health professionals.

The business name – Zi Mei Events was created by Leisha Ward (an Occupational Therapist) and her sister while traveling together through China. During their trip they made small forays into the Chinese vocabulary, including the Chinese for older sister – “Zi Zi” and younger sister – “Mei Mei”.  Thus colloquially when introducing themselves together as older and younger sister – “Zi Mei”. It was thought to be an apt name for their new venture!  Although Leisha’s sister has decided to explore other adventures—the name continues.

 Spring … A Time for New Growth

Spring has arrived … bringing with it a sense of renewal, fresh energy and new possibilities. The changes that come with the new season, are also a reminder that growth is a process — one that starts with curiosity, is nurtured through learning, and develops over time – it comes through small moments of curiosity, reflection and connection.

At Zi Mei Events we know that great professional development is about more than simply taking in new information. It’s the questions asked, the conversations shared, the ideas sparked and the practical strategies that can be taken back into clinical practice. Our workshops are shaped by the needs and interests of the allied health community, and we value the feedback, ideas and experiences that participants bring. Whether learning online or face-to-face, there is always an opportunity to refresh our knowledge, challenge our thinking and grow our confidence.

So,  as we embrace the fresh energy of spring, why not give yourself permission to be curious, perhaps ask yourself:

What would you like to learn? What would you like to grow? And what new possibility could you nurture in your practice this Spring?

2027 Expressions of Interest –  We know that learning is never one-way. The questions, experiences and feedback shared by our participants help shape the workshops we offer and keep us connected to what matters in your clinical practice.  We currently have a number of Expressions of Interest just waiting for your feedback – let us know what new professional development opportunities you would like to see in 2027.

Kind Regards,

Leisha Ward
