Today we were absolutely spoiled with a very special Valentine’s surprise 💐❤️

Our beautiful client Bert personally hand delivered Valentine’s Day flowers to all of our lovely ladies, and it truly made our day!

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. The relationships we build with our clients are built on trust, kindness, and real connection and today was a perfect reflection of that. Bert, your thoughtfulness and generosity touched every single one of us. You didn’t just bring flowers… you brought joy, appreciation, and a whole lot of love into our day.

We feel incredibly lucky to walk alongside such amazing people and to share moments that go far beyond supports and services.

Thank you for reminding us how powerful kindness can be 💝

We’re excited to share that Kylie Norman, NDIS Support Coordinator, currently has capacity to take on new clients in the Mackay region.

She takes the time to understand each individual’s goals, tailoring supports to promote growth, independence, and meaningful change in everyday life.

🗣 Kylie says:
"My clients are the reason I continue to strive for success. The purpose of our work is to promote growth, independence, and meaningful change in the everyday lives of those we support."

From navigating complex systems and securing vital supports, to celebrating every milestone - big or small - Kylie goes above and beyond to ensure her clients feel heard, empowered, and supported every step of the way.

Hi Bowen Community 👋

We wanted to sincerely apologise that we won’t be at the Bowen Community Hub today as planned.

A number of our team members have children starting Prep today, which is a huge milestone (and a big emotional day!) for both kids and parents. We felt it was important to make sure our staff could be present and supported through such an important change for their families.

We truly appreciate your understanding and patience. Family and community are at the heart of everything we do, and sometimes that means showing up for our own little people too.

We look forward to being back in Bowen next week and can’t wait to see you all again. Thank you for your kindness and support 💛

🌻 Rockhampton, I’m on my way! 🌻

I’m heading up to Rockhampton and will be based at The Cobbler’s Room for the next two days, while also popping around to meet some amazing local providers and community members.

This trip is really special for us, because we’re branching our business into Rockhampton and for me, that starts with connection, not paperwork.

If you’re a participant, family member, support coordinator, or provider or if the NDIS feels confusing, overwhelming, or just a bit much... I’d absolutely love to catch up. Even just a coffee and a chat.
Sometimes all people want is someone to help them truly understand their choice and control, what they can do, and how the NDIS can actually work for them, not against them.

Our business is built on heart, compassion, and genuine care. We believe everyone deserves to feel confident, informed, supported, and empowered to make choices that suit their life and we have a lot of fun along the way too 😊

If you’re around over the next couple of days and feel like saying hello, please reach out or comment below. I’d love to meet you, hear your story, and see how we can support this incredible community 🤍

Rockhampton! See you soon.

- Josie

📍 Bowen today until 2pm

I’m currently at the Bowen Community Centre and would love to connect with both NDIS participants, families, and local providers who make the Bowen community so special.

I really value face to face connections and taking the time to listen, share ideas, and talk about what matters most to you and the people you support. These conversations are how strong, collaborative, and supportive communities are built.

If you’re around before 2pm, please feel free to come in, say hello, or reach out for a chat. I’m really looking forward to connecting with the Bowen community 🤍

💛 Why Tailored Lifestyle Connections feels different… 💛

Because to us, you’re never “just a client”.

At Tailored Lifestyle Connections, we start with one simple belief:
✨ Everyone deserves to live a life they feel proud of... a life with choice, purpose, and genuine connection. ✨

We take the time to truly get to know you.
Your story. Your goals. Your worries. Your hopes for the future.

No rushed conversations.
No cookie cutter supports.
Just real people, listening — and walking beside you.

🌱 What makes us different?

💙 We care deeply — and it shows.
Support isn’t just something we provide, it’s something we commit to. Our clients often tell us they feel heard, respected and valued - because they are.

🤝 Support built around YOU.
Your NDIS plan should work for your life, not the other way around. We tailor supports that help you build confidence, independence and meaningful connections - at your pace.

🌈 We focus on the whole person.
Life is more than services and appointments. We support community connection, relationships, purpose, wellbeing and growth - because that’s what truly makes life fulfilling.

💬 And most importantly - we show up.
When things feel overwhelming.
When plans change.
When you need guidance, reassurance or advocacy.

We’re there, every step of the way.

If you’re looking for support that feels human, respectful and empowering.. we’d love to meet you.

Because your life isn’t standard and your support shouldn’t be either 💛

Every smile, every milestone, every challenge overcome together reminds us why we do what we do. Our work is about empowering choice, dignity, independence, and joy — and it is an absolute privilege to be part of your journey.

This year has been filled with meaningful moments — celebrating achievements big and small, navigating challenges together, and creating connections that truly matter. We are so proud to support such resilient, inspiring individuals and we are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us every day.
