Mummy hat, OT hat, so many hats.. Podcast

Send us Fan Mail It’s always so amazing to see our little ones learn new skills and develop through their milestones! Hopefully this gives a little understanding of other process we have been through which will amazing has not been what I expected. When is anything in life expected and going to plan.. 

Send us Fan Mail We have been very busy in our house hold and one of the big changes that we have had of late is that I have gone back to a little consulting and my little one has started at daycare. Feel free to share your experiences too!

Send us Fan Mail Hello, it’s been a little while.. I am back with a fresh perspective and ready to share my thoughts again.. a little bit of a starting topic for this next part of series two but one that unfortunately too many are facing atm.

Send us Fan Mail Due to an unexpected c section, my little poppet has thoroughly benefited from some very gentle osteo treatment.. not everyone always agrees with such options.. do let me know your views 🫶🏻

Send us Fan Mail Do you ever find that you notice certain behaviour from your little one, or even yourself or big kids depending on the music you are listening too? Perhaps certain memories or moods are provoked? There is always a sensory component, what does music do for you?

Send us Fan Mail We survived.. a few of my tips that may or may not help you.. I did forgot to add that coming home again I was woken up really early.. the baby wasn’t but when she did finally wake up I decided just to pack and go!

Send us Fan Mail My little one is nearly ten months now, once again as we are walking along we ponder some of the phases we have been through with our sleep journey and what seemed to have helped.

Send us Fan Mail As a Paed Ot I am especially keen for my baby to meet all of her infant developmental milestones early or on time. I love my daughter so much and I am very happy for her to do everything in her own time but I want to make sure I provide as much opportunity and anything to support that I can.

Send us Fan Mail My little poppet and I are preparing to travel from Melbourne to Wodonga this week to visit my sister and the cousins!  This is the prelude to our trip and my organisation ideas to hopefully make everything go smoothly.. stay tuned for the post trip discussions.

Send us Fan Mail What an incredible concert, such an amazing group of artists! I had so many thoughts and take aways from the concert that I couldn’t not devote a podcast to them.. I actually wasn’t a massive fan, I was excited to see them and new a few songs.. I really was blown away with how kind Chris Martin is, so much empathy and his ability to encapsulate the audience and make the massive, p...

Send us Fan Mail I am so amazed at how many people all around the world are listening, thank you. I am curious as to different peoples living situations? I myself have an apartment as I moved in as a single person not expecting the best chapter of my life to occur. We are hoping to live to a bigger place with a back garden, here are some reasons of why that might be beneficial for children’s devel...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you to all of my listeners from around the world! A little welcome back to season two, a little explanation of why I have been MIA.. thank you for your patience! Vinaka 

Send us Fan Mail We are back in Melbourne again, it’s absolutely freezing and it’s the first time I’m helping my little one to ward off her sniffles x

Send us Fan Mail To follow on from my tips re travelling with a Bebe, here is a little update of how we went!

Send us Fan Mail As our time in Fiji concludes, I wanted to mull over the differences in personalities and people that we have encountered, yes we can all have a bad day but isn’t it nicer when we put out our best foot forward to be nice! We teach the children that we consult with to think about empathy by encouraging the idea of how do we walk in other peoples shoes. Vinaka  

Send us Fan Mail Seven flights down, one more in the morning! Hopefully I don’t jinx ourselves by sharing these thoughts the night before we are flying! I was so scared to be going through customs with a baby the first time but overall I actually find traveling not too bad with a baby. It’s definitely about being organised, prepared, not over packing but having the key items at your finger tips!

Send us Fan Mail A follow on to levels of productivity.. considering mindfulness, sensory regulation and how to stay relaxed and productive without being overwhelmed and overloaded.. how does this relate to you, your family and even your friends. Moce, Vinaka 

Send us Fan Mail I love looking at and sharing how behaviour occurs.. what comes first the chicken or the egg? Is behaviour derived from sensory overload and one’s inability to process a given situation or does sensory overload or intolerance occur because of the behaviour.. I’m not just talking about children, this applies to people of all ages.. case in point my episode was cut short as a certai...

Send us Fan Mail I can’t wait to share with you the continuation of this journey as I spend some much needed r and r in Fiji for a few weeks. I hope you are doing something to fill your cup too 🏝️

Send us Fan Mail Hope you enjoy, Look after yourself, You deserve it, Vinaka, Namaste 🙏 

Send us Fan Mail My ten cents worth of some of the little things I do to help my bod, coming from an experience like of life perspective rather then being an expert in the field!

Send us Fan Mail Do you agree this has become such a buzz word of late… and are there really so many.. I find it so interesting as we all need to have some of the qualities that describe a narcissist to get ahead in life but they are so much more then being self focused and confident. If you are asking yourself “am I” you can already answer your own question that you care and have empathy and ther...

Send us Fan Mail We are back out walking today as we mull over the effect of sensory and the need for stimulation in every day life. Looking at how it effects the nervous system and specifically the startle reflex as I am currently helping Olivia to sleep with her arms out rather then being swaddled. This is also relevant for us as adults, I hope these little snippets are continuing to encourage p...
