1:1 Workshop sessions for adults with disabilities at Creative Connections One Mile, Port Stephens.

Tucked away behind the ocean amongst the towering gums, our home studio is inviting and engaging.

Together, we can plan for a variety of artistic or musical adventures — weaving, woodwork, clay to name just a few.

Or — you may hear the call to be beneath the trees, active in the garden, or exploring the sea shore.

We are thrilled to offer these creative support sessions and music therapy in One Mile NSW.

It’s an absolute privilege to be a music therapist and to meet incredible individuals like this maestro. I am constantly inspired by the strength, wisdom, and creativity I witness, and I feel deeply grateful for the lessons I learn from every session.

Now offering 2 more music therapy sessions and a spot in the 8-week Creative Connections Taster program. An individualised program where we explore different arts and enjoy active engagement with nature. Let’s get creative, work on your NDIS goals and find something that you love!

Creative Connections is a service for adults with disabilities in One Mile, Port Stephens. Tranquil gardens filled with produce, flowers and trees surround the music therapy studio and workshop.

I would be thrilled to get to know you and explore how I can support you best.

Auslan and dance interpretation of the song ‘Higher’ by Bella Taylor Smith. Deeply grateful to Izzy and Anne for helping us to creatively embrace this beautiful language.

I love the undergrowth of the pumpkin patch. Life flourishes beneath the broad leafs and tangled vines.

Come and spend some time in our autumn garden, nature is putting on an incredible show 🌱

: video moves slowly from sky and large tree view to below the leaves of a pumpkin patch. One large cream coloured pumpkin comes into view surrounded by a few smaller ones. You can hear lots of bird calls in the background.
