Had a wonderful afternoon with the staff at St Patrick’s Special School, working together on the next step in developing their Staff Wellbeing Framework.

It was such a positive afternoon of reflection, connection and planning as we continue to build a framework that supports staff to nourish themselves so they can flourish.

Thank you so much for having me. It’s always a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated team! 😊

Had the absolute pleasure of working with the beautiful staff at Anglicare Elizabeth last week. The focus of the workshop was "RESET & RECONNECT Practical Wellbeing for Everyday Work. A calm space to pause, reflect, and reconnect."

The intention of the day was to:
Slow Down
Connect gently
Learn simple wellbeing tools
Create meaningful reminders
Support each other

We achieved the intentions and had a wonderful time together Resetting and Reconnecting. Thank you so much for inviting me to work with you all again.
Feeling very grateful.

As children and young people across South Australia begin Term 3 this week, I’ve been thinking about all the different emotions that may be sitting alongside the excitement of returning to school or starting school for the first time. I’m

For some, it’s exciting to see friends, reconnect with teachers and begin a new term. For others, returning to school may bring worries, uncertainty or a little extra nervousness.

Whatever feelings are present, I hope every child knows this:

✨ You don’t have to get everything right straight away.
✨ It’s okay to feel nervous.
✨ You can take things one day — and sometimes one moment — at a time.
✨ You are never alone in how you feel.
✨ Asking for help is a sign of strength.

To the parents, carers and families helping children prepare for another school term, and to the incredible teachers and school staff welcoming them back — I hope you remember to be gentle with yourselves too. 💛

A new term is a fresh beginning. A chance to reconnect, grow, learn, try again and take the next small step.

Wishing every South Australian student a happy, healthy and positive Term 3. 🌿📚✨

💫 Together, we make a difference.

Teaching children that worrying is a normal emotion is such an important part of helping them understand themselves. This week, we explored how it’s absolutely okay to worry — and how setting aside a little “worry time” can stop those thoughts from taking over the whole day.

We also created worry boxes, a simple tool where children can write down their worries and place them somewhere safe. Worry boxes don’t magically take worries away, but they do help kids acknowledge their feelings and keep moving forward with confidence.

Helping children build emotional awareness today supports their resilience tomorrow 💛

How good is this rain!

It’s been such a positive week, so I thought I’d share a little of what I’ve been up to.
Supporting young people to share and recognise their feelings can be really tricky, especially when big emotions are involved. That’s why I love using fun, hands‑on activities to help them explore what’s going on inside.

One of our favourites this week was discovering how our amazing brain works — through playdough creations, laughter, and plenty of curiosity.

My sense of humour is questionable at best, but it always gives me a giggle… and sometimes the kids laugh too. I always tell them, “Don’t drop your brain — you might get a headache!” I’m fairly sure they humour me, but I’ll take it.

Wishing you an amazing week ahead.

A gentle reminder: "you can’t change the past, and you can’t know the future — but you can enjoy the present moment."
