I'm so excited to be able to say have I qualified as an Occupational Therapist with a first class degree. I start my new role on Monday 😁 All the hard work and stress of the last 4 years has been worth it!

Happy New Year! Sadly Christmas whizzed by with my son's seizures and my mum having a stay in hospital, but I'm so grateful for the magical moments in between. Here's hoping for a healthy 2026

Children in Need raises money for some fantastic work, but it also highlights the huge funding gap in services. These shouldn't be an "extra" funded by generous donations, they should be statutory services.

Spent yesterday morning delivering the first part of my final uni project. Such a lovely session filled with thoughtful discussion and ideas ☺️ #OTStudent #StudentOT #OccupationalTherapy

Photograph of a screen with a PowerPoint presentation on it. The text on the slide reads "Understanding Sensory Processing" with a colourful image of a brain alongside. In front of the screen is a table. On the table there are fruit, pastries and a selection of fidget toys.

I'm so envious of the "I don't want the summer holidays to end" people, because I am drowning. Juggling work between sporadic childcare, caring for a child with complex health needs and trying to prepare another one for secondary school, plus making fun memories... exhausting. I need routine again!

It was worth the early alarm to watch the sunrise with my eldest this morning. In all the chaos, it was lovely to have a special moment with him...and then he jumped in the sea for a swim with his friends 🤦‍♀️😂

2 months since I decided to start taking care of myself again. Not a massive change in how I look, but I'm feeling so much better. I can walk into the gym without being a bundle of nerves and take a photo without hiding behind my coat 😁 First stone gone too! #LittleVictories

Day 1! Since my son's seizures began at 3 months old, I have completely neglected myself. Almost 9 years and 5 stone piled on and I have to admit I feel at my absolute lowest. Thankfully a new 24hr gym has just opened so I can exercise around caring, parenting, working, studying, etc. 🤞Fresh start!

As a bonus… we end up hating our own bodies and loosing access to some of the most effective self-regulation tools for our bodies… causing future challenges to be ever harder. Neuronormative training is such a harmful and short sighted practise.
