We had a great time at Avenues Early Learning Centre in Aspley for our recent Kindy Uplift training! We explored the power of movement and how it supports children’s regulation and development. From big body play to sensory pathways, we explored practical strategies educators can use every day.

Big thanks to the amazing team for having us!

Sometimes therapy looks like this...

A cloud swing, a special weighted teddy, a book, and a safe space to explore big feelings and thoughts. 🧠💛

Connection comes first — because when kids feel safe and supported, they’re ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
