Relational support for families navigating emotional and behavioral complexity

— a compassionate + embodied approach to Occupational Therapy that moves beyond contemporary and mainstream models of health.

Parenting is love wrapped in chaos, exhaustion, and hope. When emotional storms swirl and behavior feels like a mystery you can’t solve, it’s easy to feel lost or broken.

Who is this for?

This work is for families who feel like they’ve tried everything — reward charts, consequences, therapy, routines — and still nothing “works.”

You’re not here because your child is broken.

You’re here because you love them, and you’re exhausted.

You’re here because their behavior is triggering something in you that feels old and unfamiliar.

You’re here because you want to understand them, but you’re also not sure how to hold yourself.

You might have said, “Why can’t they just (insert expectation)?” Or secretly wondered if you’re failing them. Or feared the parts of you that rise up in the heat of conflict.

You might even be at the edge of trialing a medical or pharmaceutical intervention and this is your LAST resort.

This work is for parents who want to:

  • Decode behavior as communication, not defiance

  • Build connection where there’s been struggle

  • Find safety in the emotional storms

  • Move beyond reaction and blame

  • Hold your child — and yourself — with compassion and presence

How does it work?

In this space, we slow down and begin again. We meet the child — and the inner child within the parent. We explore behavior not as a problem to fix, but as communication to decode.

Together we build language, tools, and ways of relating that create more partnership and less power struggle. We learn how to move from reactivity to reflection, from blame to curiosity, from chaos to clarity.

You’ll leave with practical tools — yes — but also a new awareness: That your presence matters more than perfection. That your child is not giving you a hard time; they’re having one. And that connection in the home mirrors your connection with yourself.

What this is NOT

This is not therapy for your child.

It is not a diagnostic assessment.

It is not a shortcut or a sticker chart.

What this IS

It is a space for connection, repair and nervous system safety.

It is slow work of co-regulation.

It is building healthy attachment patterns.

Will the real OT please stand up?

Holistic Occupational Therapy recognises the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit and environment in promoting health and wellness.

Did you know that historically, Occupational Therapy was designed to support trauma recovery after world war 1? They did this through Indigenous practices of basket weaving and circle work, supporting veterans to re-connect and find meaning and purpose in the process/ journey of life.

The modern health industry has minimised the approach of OT to addressing only daily functional needs, missing an integral aspect of healing that goes beyond the ‘doing’, and reweaves a relationship of connection and belonging to life.

Drawing on principles of occupational therapy, holistic healing, mindfulness, somatic psychotherapy and trauma recovery, Holistic OT focuses on an inside out approach, supporting you to navigate emotions and stressors with ease, nurture meaningful relationships through presence and play, engage in meaningful activities and roles that resonate with your deepest essence, that are essential to your daily growth, connection and enjoyment of life.

Britt taught me that we can't fill from an empty cup and that prioritising your own wellbeing, that being in and enjoying the moment, is the important first step in excellent educator pedagogy.

  • Being the director of two small but busy preschools can be exhausting and all consuming. Brittany has supported me to gain perspective and to be mindful of my own wellbeing in realistic ways. She is wise beyond her years. I would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in a leadership role wanting to support their team or to anyone who is ready to take stock and make positive changes to enhance their work and their personal life.
