Real children. Real journeys. Real moments that matter.
Every child is different, and progress doesn’t always look the same.
Sometimes it’s being able to walk into Kindy without tears. Sometimes it’s making a friend. Sometimes it’s trying a new food, joining in at swimming, or finally riding a bike.
These are some of the changes families have shared with us.
Meet Christie
I’m Christie, and I’m passionate about helping young children get the best possible start to school.
I have four children, including two stepchildren, and I’ve experienced firsthand how different every child can be.
My youngest struggled significantly when he started Kindy. Even with wonderful teachers, Kindy refusal and emotional regulation were a real challenge for him.
Watching him struggle changed the way I looked at the early years.
I became a strong believer that when a child starts Prep feeling competent and confident, it can influence their whole experience of school.
My background in teaching, nursing and child development, together with my training in the Melillo Method and Connected Kidz, has given me a unique perspective on how children develop and learn.
I love working with children and their families and seeing the little changes that can make such a big difference — a child joining in, trying something new, making a friend or doing something they couldn't do before.
If you’d like to talk about your child, please feel welcome to get in touch.

Yes, our program is grounded in evidence-based practices. We integrate approaches and techniques that have been extensively researched and proven effective in supporting neurodivergent individuals. I uses the Melillo method, which is based on established scientific research and clinical experience. I continuously evaluate and refine my strategies to ensure they are aligned with the latest research and best practices for neurodevelopmental support. By combining cutting-edge techniques with individualised care, our program aims to deliver measurable, positive outcomes for participants.
Our program is ideal for children aged 3–17 years old. If your child is outside this range, reach out to see if we can help.
We target the root cause — developmental delays in the brain — using intensive, movement-based coaching sessions 3x per week. This consistent stimulation drives real progress.
Retained primitive reflexes can show up as emotional outbursts, poor coordination, anxiety, or learning delays. These early movement patterns should disappear as a child’s brain develops — but if they don’t, they can interfere with everyday functioning.
Most families notice changes within the first few weeks, while others see more gradual improvements over time. Consistency with the program is one of the most important factors influencing outcomes.
Parents commonly report improvements in:
Focus and attention
Emotional regulation
Confidence and self-esteem
Coordination and balance
School readiness
Learning and academic participation
Social skills and communication
Independence in daily activities
No. You don’t need to have a diagnosis to get in touch. If you have concerns about your child’s development, behaviour, learning or confidence, we’re happy to have a conversation.
We start by getting to know your child and understanding what you’re noticing at home, Kindy or daycare. From there, we can determine what approach may be appropriate for your child.
That’s okay. Children have different personalities, abilities and comfort levels. We work with your child and adjust activities to suit them.
Every child is different. The length and intensity of a program depend's on your child’s individual needs and goals.
Absolutely. You’re welcome to contact us and talk through your concerns before deciding whether the program is right for your child.
