Opening December 2025 in Chirnside Park

I'm so excited to finally open our clinic doors! This has been years in the making, and it's going to be a place where everyone - from babies to adults - can feel welcome, safe, and supported to grow.

Why I'm Creating This Space

I've been working with families for years, and I keep hearing the same struggles: "My child doesn't have friends", "They can't sit still at kindy", "They're always having meltdowns", "They're so anxious about school", "We can't find anyone who understands our teen with a disability", "My mum is terrified of falling and losing her independence".

I wanted to create a clinic that's different - where we focus on building skills through play and movement, not just sitting in a therapy room. Where your child actually wants to come. Where families feel heard and supported, not judged. And where our older community members can maintain their strength, confidence, and independence.

Who This Is For

From 6 months to 90 years - seriously! Whether your child is just starting to explore the world, your teen needs support with disabilities, or you're an older adult wanting to maintain your independence and prevent falls - we've got you. Whether they have a diagnosis or you're just noticing they're struggling, whether they need intensive support or just a safe place to make friends - this is your space.

We're creating truly intergenerational programs where everyone belongs and everyone has something to contribute.

What Makes Us Different

We believe that movement and play aren't just "nice to have" - they're how brains develop, how bodies regulate, and how friendships form. Every program we run is built on this foundation. Plus, our clinic is designed to feel welcoming, not clinical. Think warm, colourful, and full of equipment that actually makes children want to move.

8-Week School Readiness Program for Your Service - 2026

This is hands-down our most popular program, and for good reason. If you're an educator watching your kindy children struggle with regulation, wondering how to help them be ready for school, or feeling overwhelmed by the behaviours you're seeing - this program is for you.

Please excuse the video quality - when I'm not chasing my tail setting up the clinic, I'll upload a higher quality version!

What I'm Seeing in Services Right Now

Educators are exhausted. Children are arriving at kindy with big emotions, poor regulation, and physical skills that aren't where they need to be. You're spending your days managing meltdowns instead of teaching. You're worried about how these children will cope when they get to school. And you're wondering if there's a better way.

There is. And that's exactly why we created Core Connections.

What Changes After 8 Weeks

We won't sugarcoat it - this isn't a magic fix. But here's what educators consistently tell us happens:

• Children who couldn't sit for mat time are now engaged and regulated
• Those daily meltdowns? They're happening less, and when they do happen, you know how to help
• Your room is calmer, your educators are less stressed, and the children are actually developing the skills they need for school
• You've got a toolkit of strategies that work - and you know WHY they work
• You're not just managing behaviour anymore - you're building capable, confident little humans

What We Actually Do in Those 8 Weeks

Each week, we set up three different small group stations. While your educators work with us, children move through activities that build their core strength, coordination, sensory processing, and regulation skills. We're not just playing games - every activity is intentionally designed to develop school readiness from the ground up.

By week 8, your team will be running these stations independently. You'll have the confidence, the knowledge, and the practical skills to keep this going.

Professional Development That Actually Makes a Difference

I've been running workshops for years now, and what I love most is seeing that light bulb moment when an educator realises: "Oh! THAT'S why they're doing that!" followed by "And THIS is how I can help!"

If This Sounds Like You...

You're dealing with more dysregulated children than ever before. You're noticing anxiety levels through the roof. You've got children who can't sit still, can't hold a pencil properly, can't play with friends without conflict. You're trying everything, but nothing seems to stick.

You're exhausted. You got into this profession because you love children, but lately you're wondering if you can keep going like this.

And deep down, you know there has to be a better way - you just need someone to show you what that looks looks like.

Workshop Options

• Four-Part Series Across a Term: We meet four times over a term so you have time to try things, come back with questions, and really embed the learning
• Full Day Workshops: Intensive sessions perfect for team PD days
• Conference Keynotes: If you're running an event and want an engaging, practical speaker
• Clinic Workshops: Small group sessions at our Chirnside Park clinic

Victoria - Four-Part Series Running Now

I'm currently running programs across Victoria's most popular council areas. These four-session series give you time to learn something, try it in your room, come back with questions, and go deeper. It's how real, lasting change happens.

Tasmania Workshop - April 16th 2026

I'm so excited to finally bring this work to Tasmania! I've had Tasmanian educators reaching out for years, and we're making it happen in 2026.

This full-day workshop focuses on something every single educator is grappling with right now: the link between motor skill development and self-regulation. Why can't they sit still? Why are they so dysregulated? And most importantly - what can we actually DO about it?

What Educators Say

"Robyn doesn't just tell you what to do - she shows you, and then she helps you figure out how to make it work in YOUR room with YOUR children. Game changer." - Early Childhood Educator, Victoria

"I was so burnt out. This workshop reminded me why I love this job and gave me actual tools to help the children I was struggling with most." - Kindergarten Teacher, Melbourne

"The four-part format meant I could try things, see what worked, and come back with questions. By the end, our whole service had transformed." - Service Director, Regional Victoria
