Equine Assisted Therapy sessions now available in Echuca.

Only six days to go to apply for our casual Business Administration role in Echuca.
This role requires availability during September and October with further opportunities available thereafter ❤️
Can’t wait to see who will join our Thrive family next.

22/07/2025

I recently was having a conversation with a mother of a high school student.
Her child is neurodivergent and she told me that her child doesn't want anyone at school to know.

Not because they’re ashamed.
But because they’re scared of being treated differently. Looked at funny. Labelled. Boxed in.

And this hit me hard.
Their fear isn’t about who they are, it’s about how the world responds to difference.

But here’s the truth:
Neurodivergence isn’t wrong.
It’s not broken. It’s just… different. And different has always been where the magic is.🪄

Einstein was suspected to be autistic and didn’t speak fluently until he was nine.
Tesla saw lightning storms in his mind and was likely neurodivergent.
Da Vinci was scattered, intense, and deeply creative....ADHD traits, anyone?🎨

These most likely weren’t "normal" brains.
They were extraordinary brains that didn’t fit the mold, they reshaped it.

What if we stopped asking kids to hide who they are?
What if instead, we built schools and communities where being wired differently was something to be embraced and not hidden away?

Neurodivergence is not a deficit.
It’s a different way of experiencing, processing, creating, and connecting.
And when we make room for that… we all get to grow.🌿

Please help spread awareness by sharing this post with the community to encourage inclusion and respect for all brains🧠🙏

A huge happy birthday Cara.

Cara you created this amazing business and poured your blood sweat and tears into this place. You made so many compromises and dedicated your heart so that our communities could be helped, practitioners could be supported and trained and our regional locations could have amazing services.

Without your hard work, Thrive wouldn't have existed and many of us wouldn't have the beautiful work family and support that we have.

We are all wishing you a day filled with love, laughter and everything that makes you smile, including a good coffee, cake, the beach and an amazing book. You truly deserve all the good things that life has to offer.

We are so grateful for everything that you created for us, everything that you did for us and everything that you still do.

Your kindness, strength and support makes a difference to so many.

Happy Birthday Cara

What makes Thrive different???🤔

Yes, we have qualified and experienced staff across a range of fields 🎓 but it is not just about what we do. It is about how we do it.

We show up as our real selves. Many of us bring lived experience alongside our professional training and that shapes everything about the way we connect, support and walk alongside the people we work with 💛

At Thrive we do not believe in cookie cutter approaches. We meet people where they are at whether that is working through trauma, navigating relationships, managing neurodivergence or just trying to stay afloat in a messy world.

We offer therapy that is client centred inclusive and deeply human. That includes individual counselling, couples and family therapy, somatic approaches for trauma and neuro affirming practices that respect each person’s unique wiring 🧠🌿

We are not here to fix anyone. We are here to support people in coming home to themselves.

That is what makes Thrive different and we are proud to keep doing this work with compassion, courage and care in our communities🌻

Happy birthday to our fearless leader and big-hearted human, Decinta 💛

You’re not just the owner of Thrive (along with Psychologist, social worker, counsellor, behaviour support practitioner etc...🫨) you are what makes Thrive the place it is.
Your authenticity, your courage to be vulnerable, your ability to lead with heart rather than ego… it’s rare to find in a boss!

You’ve created something that’s more than a workplace.... it’s a family.🥰
A place where people feel seen, supported, and valued — because that’s exactly how you treat us. Like we matter. Like we’re yours. You have our backs and we've got yours. You walk the talk and aren't afraid to own your own s**t.. that's why we respect the hell out of ya!

You wear your heart on your sleeve, and in a world that sometimes tells us to harden up or “just be professional,” you remind us what real leadership looks like.

Grateful for your loyalty, your laugh, and your fire.❤️‍🔥
We’re lucky to be in this with you. Hope today fills your cup the way you fill ours every bloody day!

Love from your Thrive family💛🖤
