If you've found your way here, you're probably trying to support a child who thinks, feels or behaves differently...and your exhausted from trying to make a system that wasn't designed for them...somehow work for them.
I know this feeling because I have lived it.
Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, preparing for an IEP meeting, struggling with school refusal, or just trying to understand your child better...I offer compassionate, experienced guidance that centres your voice and your child's needs.
From Calm Plans to demand sensitive visuals, I create affirming supports tailored to your child's brain and your home life. Many parents use these for drop-off routines, PDA-friendly transitions, advocacy tools and more.
I'm working on short, practical online courses and mini Webinars to help you understand masking, emotional regulation, school trauma and how to advocate effectively without needing a PHD in education policy.
I create simple, effective advocacy guides to help you speak up at school meetings, understand your rights and communicate what your child needs in a way that gets heard.
Most parenting support is either too medicalised or too vague. I sit in the middle: grounded in current research but delivered with lived experience, humour and heart.
I'm not just here to give you strategies. I'm here to validate your instincts, help you connect the dots and remind you that you're not "too much" for asking for what your child needs.
Because what you're doing matters.
Because your child doesn't need to change who they are to belong.
And because inclusion should start at the first gate not after a fight.

There are two main categories where parent coaching can be claimed:
1. Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living
Most common for your services.
This category supports skill development for both the participant and those supporting them.
Your sessions could fall under:
• Parent training to help support emotional regulation, sensory needs, transitions, and behaviour
• Education navigation and advocacy skills (e.g. support with school meetings, IEPs, etc.)
• Building understanding of the child’s neurotype and needs
This is especially true if your coaching is related to helping the parent implement strategies, routines, or visuals that align with the child’s NDIS goals (e.g. communication, regulation, social inclusion).
2. Capacity Building – Improved Relationships
Sometimes applicable if your coaching supports the child’s relationships at school, home, or in the community (e.g. reducing masking, supporting social engagement, improving emotional safety).
A recommendation is not usually required, but it helps if our session content clearly aligns with a goal in the NDIS plan (e.g. regulation, communication, access to education, improved daily routines).
If you are self-managed or plan-managed.
• I can invoice you directly.
• I will include:
• My ABN
• A description of the session (e.g. “Parent coaching to support child’s sensory regulation and school inclusion”)
• Date/time, session length, cost
Yes—much easier.
• You pay directly and claim reimbursement through the portal.
• No need for formal agreements or registered provider status.
Plan-managed families can still work with me, but I invoice the plan manager instead of the family.
I can offer to help you word your claim for the portal or plan manager
• Create a short service description or invoice template for them to use
• Tie each session to relevant NDIS goals
