Creative freedom, messy hands, and meaningful moments.

We believe it is every child’s birthright to feel seen, heard, and valued. Messy play is a place for connecting our bodies with our emotions. Letting go, reaching out, sharing in the moment without expectation or pressure.

Each child brings their own story, strengths, and magic, and our role is to nurture that in a way that feels meaningful, supportive, and true to them.

When children are given freedom to play, create, and explore, their unique magic has room to shine.🌟

Skills are meaningfully learnt, when they are experienced. They’re felt in the body, accessed through movement, and strengthened in relationships.

When learning is grounded in sensation, curiosity, and connection, confidence grows from the inside out.

This is the work beneath the skills.

Moments of adventure are opportunities to be with gratitude. Summer calls for surf checks, salty air, and embracing light.

Nature has a way of grounding us, cuing rhythms of breath, inviting us to expand out, freeing us from stuckness. 🌊

5 Principles Behind Active OT:

The body holds the story
We listen to what movement and sensation are communicating.

Learning is experiential
Doing comes before explaining.

Connection supports regulation
Growth happens in relationships.

Environment matters
Place, presence, elements, and movement all influence learning.

Confidence grows from within
Built through trust, not pressure.

Our team coming together through movement, breath, and shared experience. Pilates as a way to connect with presence, meet in challenge and ground.

How we care for ourselves shapes how we show up for the children and families we walk alongside🌀

Ella certainly invited us all to play with the edge of challenge and we are grateful.

Skills for life evolve with meaning and purpose. They emerge through curiosity, exploration, movement, shared experiences, and play. When children are provided opportunities to explore at their own pace, learning becomes embodied, meaningful, and lasting.

This is where it begins.🌿

Camp Reset NSW 🌲

Days spent feeling, slowing, exploring outward and noticing what reflected back.

Grateful to the land that held us, the community that embraced us, the team who stepped into challenge with openness, and the children who continue to invite us to see beyond the surface and meet each moment with presence and care.

Move with meaning and purpose 🌿

Rock Solid is a three day outdoor adventure designed to support growth through movement, connection, and shared experience. Through rock hopping, water skills, and creativity, teens are supported to build resilience, confidence, motor skills for daily life, and social connection in ways that feel engaging and meaningful.

We believe learning happens best when it is embodied, relational, and grounded in real experiences. Outdoor spaces offer rich opportunities for children to explore their strengths, challenge themselves safely, and connect with others meeting in authenticity.
For children aged 11 to 14 years.

📍Clovelly Beach.
Spaces available, bookings via reception or admin@activeot4kids.com

Sometimes feeling comforted around leads to feeling safety restored within. Sensory rich play aids the body to organise, regulate and reconnect. Somatosensory comfort, soft colour, movement and laughter all become gentle invitations for the nervous system to shift into safety.

When children’s systems are cued to safe enough the window of playing freely opens and their whole body softens to connect with joy and exploration.🎨

As we reach the end of 2025 we are taking a moment to pause, reflect and feel into deep gratitude for the year that has unfolded. It has been a year filled with growth, adventure and deep connection.

Our community gathered for events that brought learning and dreams to life. We shared meaningful resets in nature. Kaya launched her beautiful book The Wilderness Within.

Our team travelled to Taiwan for the Adventure Therapy Conference and returned inspired and refreshed. We took risks together in Cairns, released emotions at paintball, grounded with tea ceremonies, connected with fire & water & collected many a story.

Throughout the year our clinicians experienced & attended conferences that expanded our knowledge and strengthened the way we support each family.

Through it all, our biggest gratitude sits with the children and families we are lucky enough to stand alongside. Thank you for trusting us, learning with us and allowing us to walk beside part of your journey.

To our incredible team, thank you for your presence, your energy and the heart you bring to every space. We are grateful for every moment shared.

Here is to a new year filled with rhythm, nature, community, gentle growth and incredible life stories. 🙌🍃

Growth often happens at the edge of comfort, drawn there by internal curiosity. When children explore height, movement, feelings or new environments with support, they learn that their capabilities are endless.

These small, supported risks help build confidence, body awareness and a sense of inner strength.🌟

Coming together as a team to reflect, share, and integrate after attending The International Childhood Trauma Conference.

These moments of connection and curiosity help shape how we show up in our work with children and families.

We’re grateful for the space to learn, think deeply, and be inspired together. Thank you, Jan, for your generosity, wisdom, and the way you continue to challenge and ground us 🤍
