Children & Families

Intensive reflex integration programs for lasting developmental change.

Dedicated, evidence based Occupational Therapy that works at the neurological foundations beneath your child's development, drawing on reflex integration, sensory processing and neuroplasticity to build the capacity to feel settled, capable and engaged.

Making Sense Of It

Different struggles, one shared thread

Struggles that look very different often share a thread. One that is frequently overlooked is the foundation beneath them, the early patterns called primitive reflexes, and how the body organises and works together, from the position of the tongue and the movement of the eyes to core stability and posture.

When that foundation is still developing, the body works harder underneath the surface, and what can look like behaviour may be the nervous system asking for support.

Who This Supports

Specialised support for a range of presentations

This work supports children across many presentations and profiles. If your child is not listed, you are still warmly welcome to reach out, what matters most is understanding the foundations beneath their individual needs.

How I Can Help

A clear, structured pathway

First we build a precise understanding of your child, then you choose how we work together. Defined programs with a clear method and clear outcomes, rather than an open ended hourly cost.

Most therapy is charged by the hour, stretching across a year or more with no clear endpoint, often well beyond three or four thousand dollars before real change takes hold. Here, you invest in a complete, designed program with a beginning, a method, and lasting results. Clearer, more contained, and built to genuinely work.

With a clear picture in hand, your child steps into the program that fits, the focused intensive, or a steadier weekly path.

Flagship

The Integration Intensive

Our most comprehensive program. Concentrated across two weeks, it draws on neuroplasticity to build a stronger foundation for attention, coordination, regulation and confidence, addressed at the level beneath the surface rather than the symptoms above it.

Best forChildren with retained reflexes, sensory processing and coordination difficulties, or developmental delay, who would benefit from focused, sustained support and measurable momentum.

  • 6 one-hour sessions, across two weeks (6 hours of therapist to child time)
  • 2 online parent consultations
  • Reflex integration protocols
  • Sensory motor integration activities
  • Fine and gross motor skill development
  • Neuroplasticity informed exercises to build new neural pathways
  • Ongoing communication and check in for the month following
  • Summary development letter at the end for your child's school
  • Customised home program for continued progress
  • Integrate & Regulate home activity support package

Condensed Option

Condensed Intensive

The same evidence based approach, compressed into a shorter, more concentrated block for families who cannot commit across two weeks. Three longer sessions over three days deliver focused sensory motor and reflex integration work, drawing on the same neuroplasticity principles as The Integration Intensive.

Best forFamilies who need a shorter, more concentrated block, including those travelling in, who want focused support delivered across just a few days.

  • 3 sessions of 1.5 hours, over three days (4.5 hours of therapist to child time)
  • 2 online parent consultations
  • Reflex integration protocols
  • Sensory motor integration activities
  • Fine and gross motor skill development
  • Neuroplasticity informed exercises to build new neural pathways
  • Summary development letter at the end for your child's school
  • Customised home program for continued progress
  • Integrate & Regulate home activity support package
  • Option to add maintenance sessions and additional parent consults on request

Steadier Pace

Maintenance / Weekly

Not every family is suited to an intensive, and that is completely okay. Weekly therapy builds the same lasting foundations at a gentler, sustainable pace, woven into the rhythm of the school term. Begin with your assessment pathway, then commit to weekly sessions across the term, steady, consistent progress your child can grow into.

Best forFamilies who prefer a steady weekly rhythm over a concentrated block, or for whom an intensive is not the right fit, wanting consistent progress across the term.

  • 50 minute sessions and parent handover
  • Reflex integration protocols
  • Sensory motor integration activities
  • Fine and gross motor skill development
  • Neuroplasticity informed exercises to build new neural pathways
  • Customised home program and regular goal reviews
  • Option to add intensives and additional consultations on request

I take a small number of families at a time, so each receives my full attention and care. Intensive blocks, particularly during school holidays, are limited and tend to fill quickly. Sessions can be held in person or by telehealth. For participants in regional areas, sessions can be online, or the assessment can be completed in person.

Regional & Rural Families

Live a long way from Sydney?

So many regional families have the funding and the determination, but no specialist support within reach. The Integration Intensive is built to come to you, with in person options for nearby families and a fully supported telehealth pathway for those further away, including weekend to Monday intensive blocks.

Good To Know

Questions families often ask

A few of the practical things parents like to understand before we begin.

What happens in the first sessions?

We begin with your assessment pathway, the Developmental and Sensory Screen, to build a clear picture of your child, followed by recommendations tailored to their needs. From there we choose the right program together, at a pace that suits your family.

Do you offer intensive and weekly options?

Yes. The Integration Intensive concentrates the work across two weeks for deep, lasting change, the Condensed Intensive offers a shorter block over just a few days for families who cannot commit across two weeks, and the Maintenance and Weekly program suits families for whom an intensive is not the right fit. We will find the format that works best for you.

What happens after an intensive?

The choice is yours, and we decide together based on what your child needs. Many families choose to do a second intensive block to keep building, others take a break to let the progress settle, and others embed maintenance into a weekly routine to gently carry the work forward. There is no single right path, only the one that suits your child and your family.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions are held at home and school, the environments where children feel most comfortable and where they are already living and learning. Working in these familiar spaces means we can use your own home equipment and everyday routines, which makes the work more natural, more accessible, and easier to carry through between sessions.

Is my apartment or home too small or cluttered?

Absolutely not. I only need a small space, and I will always bring everything I need. Your home is your safe space, and it is where so much of the change will happen.

How does telehealth work for children?

It works beautifully, and parents are central to it. Activities are emailed to you, and we meet over a Zoom session where you engage with your child while I guide on screen, encouraging your child through the tasks and actively coaching you through the session. A parent or another adult must be present throughout, and that involvement is part of what makes it so effective.

Will my child always see the same therapist?

Yes, always. Your child works with me directly, every session, so they receive consistent, high quality care from someone who truly knows them and their story. Children are never passed along to someone else, and that continuity helps them feel safe and helps progress hold.
