I love that music can be a safe space for children who might otherwise feel unseen and misunderstood 🫶🏽

A different perspective on the Christmas season...

Here is a little snippet of a song I wrote a few years ago in the lead up to the first Christmas after my Grandma passed away.

Though Christmas can be filled with joy, it can also be a time where harder emotions, like grief can bubble to the surface 📝 Writing this song helped me process all the big emotions I was feeling about experiencing loss and the first Christmas without my Grandma.

So if this resonates with you, let this be your reminder that you’re not alone if you’re having a rough time during the holiday season 🫶🏼🎄

It was such a lovely experience presenting at Baby Rhyme Time! I had a great time connecting through music, sharing some favourite songs and sprinkling in some music therapy tips about the benefits of singing with your child ✨

What an incredible experience it was singing in these concerts! Music is such an important part of film and television, and getting to be a small part of the team of artists performing this beautiful score live was really something special 🎼

Rhythm is one of the most powerful tools we can offer an ADHD brain
steady, predictable beats give the nervous system something consistent to anchor to, helping organise attention, movement and emotional energy
For many children, rhythm acts like a scaffold — supporting timing, sequencing, impulse control and sustained focus
It also stimulates multiple brain regions at once, making tasks feel easier, more enjoyable and less overwhelming
Pretty amazing, right?

Love this! Beautifully said ❤️🎧🎶

Every year, Spotify Wrapped arrives like a tiny time capsule. Its a snapshot of who we were, what we survived, and what held us together over the last 12 months.

It’s easy to laugh at how many times we played that one song, but I think Wrapped tells a deeper story. It shows the rhythms our bodies needed, the patterns our brains relied on, and the comfort we sought in melody, repetition or nostalgia.

For many neurodivergent brains, music isn’t “background noise”, it’s regulation, structure, identity, and connection. The loops, the favourites, the hyperfixation tracks… they say something real about how we move through the world. They reflect the ways we soothe ourselves, energise ourselves, and anchor ourselves when things feel overwhelming.

So if your Wrapped feels chaotic, predictable, emotional, eclectic, or the same five songs on repeat, it isn’t trivial. That’s data about a year you lived through. A year where you kept going. A year where music helped you make sense of things.

Wear it proudly.

Your music says more about your heart and your nervous system than it ever will about your “taste.”

On a side note, we love recieving screen shots of everyone's data.. including this one today. To make it to the top 0.08% of global fas for the Wiggles is an outstanding achievement.

So roughly:

112 minutes of The Wiggles every week
= about 1 hour and 52 minutes of wiggly goodness… weekly.

Honestly? That’s elite-level commitment to fruit salad energy.

Music therapy and music lessons - they might sound similar, but they’re very different.
A Registered Music Therapist uses music to support wellbeing, growth and connection, not to teach musical skills, but to help children express, regulate and communicate in their own unique way.
Both are valuable, they just serve different purposes 💛
