Between Stars Occupational Therapy

Servicing the Hawkesbury, Penrith and Blue Mountains Regions of Sydney.

At Between Stars OT, our purpose is to empower neurodivergent children and teenagers to embrace who they are through relationship-based occupational therapy interventions.

Back in July, some of our participants attended Walanga Muru- our first camp, designed to support teens in building their life skills, expanding social circles and exploring new activities integrated within nature.

Together, they worked together to run their camp site building their interdependent skills like cooking their meals (and working together to clean up!), organising board game evenings (broadening their friendships and hosting friends), starting, maintaining and putting out the fire (learning to manage risk and manage personal safety) and a variety of adventure skills (to find our own edges and build our motor skills).

We had a great time test our limits and finding comfort within the discomfort. Thank you to The Y for hosting, and Karina from Nuture Nest for supporting our first overnight OT camp. We can't wait to do it again 🍃🍂🌙🌤

Introducing Walanga Muru- Follow Your Path

Walanga Muru is an intensive nature based overnight opportunity that honours each young person’s unique journey—one shaped by their own strengths, challenges, identity, and values. This camp has been designed to empower teens to discover and confidently walk their own path, rather than being forced into a neurotypical mould. Camp is facilitated at a 1:4 ratio and provides intensive opportunity to develop new or increase independence with daily living skills, motor coordination, social engagement, executive function and emotional regulation while prioritising your child's mental health and wellbeing.

Camp will run from July 14th to July 17th for teens between 13-17 years. We are limited to a maximum of 12 participants and applications at the link below close on June 30th.

“Integration happens when we differentiate: that was then, this is now. The body learns to let it go.” - Kate White

Yesterday I was struggling with some big emotions. I don’t prioritise my personal therapeutic process enough, so I took some time to engage in bilateral drawing.

Bilateral drawing activates both brain hemispheres by drawing with both hands simultaneously. It’s been proven to support trauma survivors to move themselves out of a ‘freeze’ response; integrate somatic experiences through full body movement and bilateral rhythms; and provide a self-regulatory strategy to connect ‘thinking’ with ‘feeling.’ (Malchiodi 2011, McNamee 2003)

Interestingly, guilt was a theme that came up for me last night.
Am I seeing enough clients?
But I need to leave time for myself.
Do I reply fast enough?
But I don’t want to have my work phone on weekends.
Could I be giving more time and energy?
But somedays, I am empty after all I already give.
Am I even a good therapist?

Bilateral drawing gave me space to integrate and process a lot of that emotion, rather than allow it to sit stagnant within me. I felt less wired, calmer and slept the deepest I had in awhile (so deeply that I overslept and missed my first client- I’m very lucky to have some flexible and understanding families on my caseload!)
