Stuart Place and I went to school together and now he’s cycling to ‘the moon and back’ to raise funds for life saving treatment for his son and other children with a rare genetic condition. If you are in a position to, please support the cause!

☀️ School holidays aren’t stress-free for every child; for some, they bring the weight of transitions and new uncertainties. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore these feelings, plan ahead, and celebrate each unique step forward. From regular sessions to telehealth, let’s make this break one of growth and readiness!

It’s all about momentum! 🏔 Just as we reach glimpses of personal progress, children do too—often during their therapy sessions. By staying committed during the holidays, we can work together to keep skills fresh and goals in reach. Therapy shouldn’t feel endless but purposeful.

If your littlie struggles with deep breathing - an essential skill for calming the nervous system and getting back to a state of calm, try having cotton wool ball races! Use straws if you like, or just blow directly on the cotton wool balls and watch as they move to the finish line!

💬 Holidays often mean big transitions are around the corner—new grades, new friends, new routines. This can stir up excitement…and anxiety. Continuing therapy during the break can help keep those transitions in focus and prepare your child to step into the new year with confidence.
