First painting finished for 2026 ✨

I started this one back when the red jellyfish and whales were hanging around Hedland — one of those moments where the ocean just demands to be painted. 🐋🐙
Vivid, bright, and full of that coastal magic that stops you in your tracks.

Feels pretty special to kick off the year like this 🌊🎨

On this day three years ago, I signed the lease at the Bungalow on Edgar and took a leap of faith to start my dream business. Three years on, Emotional Etchings has grown into something truly special. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the support, trust, and encouragement from clients, families, and the wider community along the way. 🩷💜💚

Sometimes you just need to pause and breathe it all in. 🌊✨

There’s a special kind of serenity that only fresh air and the sound of gentle waves can bring.

Paperwork wrapped up for the day, so I’m taking a moment to recharge, reflect, and simply be.

Here’s to finding calm in the little spaces between the busy. 🩵

Mental Health Guidance - Assisting those affected by social media access changes

How can I support a young person?

With reduced access to online social spaces, some young people may consider using harmful coping strategies. Keep an eye on how they’re spending their time and gently support healthier options.

It can help to maintain other familiar routines such as regular meals, exercise, school commitments, and connecting socially through available communication methods like voice calls, messaging apps allowed under the guidelines, or supervised platforms.

Changes in behaviour (e.g. withdrawal, irritability, frustration, or anger) may feel challenging and cause problems for the young person at home or school, or with friends or family.

These behaviours are likely to be a response to losing control, familiar online spaces and connections, worries about friendships or the future, or the discomfort of altered routines. Be caring and listen attentively and sensitively.

Young people are likely to adjust at different paces, so keep this in mind as you think about how the person is managing over time. Some may become more sensitive or stressed for a while, and good and bad days are both normal.
