Hi Everyone

Please take a moment to read this post as it is very close to my heart.

Unfortunately, my eyes were met with tears when I was on a recent trip to Queensland Children's Hospital. Everything changed when we went up to the play zone and my eyes lay upon, Louis. Even though he looked so sick, he was still smiling and chasing starlight around the room. Louis is a past client that I was blessed to have worked with since 2022 up until I moved away. Right now, his family is going through the unthinkable with Louis now up to his 75th day in hospital, still fighting to get back to his Bundy life with friends and family. Louis is an inspiration to see him keep his positivity and smile even though he is going through a world of functional change and pain.

Louis has gone through numerous surgeries, including another life-saving surgery most recently, and while he is continuing to fight for a full recovery, his family need your support. Support so they can continue to be by his side to continue to comfort him through these very uncertain times and times of pain. As you can imagine, the never-ending costs of living don't just stop when these life emergencies occur.

If anyone can spare a small donation to go towards this beautiful family, please click on his school community funding link below.

Your donations will provide financial support towards his continual recovery, and they will enable his family to focus their energy on bringing Louis home.

I am sending my donation and all my love to Louis's parents and family and I hope he continues to heal through his inspiring strength.

If you could also please take the time to share this link forward to your friends and family that would also be appreciated.

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I was lucky enough today to spend some one on one time with a very special client bonding over some minecraft/sonic video-gaming along with some gift-sharing. Noah is one of the most creative children I know and he managed to blow me away today with a certificate that touched my heart & made me smile ear to ear😁💜 I also got more chocolates (lucky because I have nearly finished my other box😅). I just want to say another Thank You for all your support and kindness for another year and I look forward to many more🥰

Today I just wanted to take the time to share what I enjoy most about my career. It is moments like these with my clients where I can truly grow on the connection we have built already but deeper and in an environment that is most comfortable and feels safe for them. Normally my Maryborough days are visiting these boys in their school environments however today I was blessed to experience a life in their world. I was able to connect with Nicholas through games, worksheets on perspectives/empathy and a game of basketball (where he showed his ability to compliment others when they shoot successful hoops). Furthermore, with JJ I was able to see his love and the connection he has with his farm animals/pets and then be involved and feel the same connection he has through his guidance and feedback. My favourite part was seeing how JJ was able to share his personality with Buddy the calf and how buddy can match his personality back (oh and the fact that Buddy shared his head butts with me). This was an amazing experience with both of these boys that I will never take for granted💜

Hi Everyone
I just wanted to give a quick update on my surgery. It has gone well and i have been discharged after my overnight care. They have provided me with some much valuable answers to my pains and but i will need further referral onto my gastroentrologist for help treating another condition that they found unexpectedly. However they were able to do some cutting out which should relieve some pain after the recovery phrase.
I am still very sore and i am only able to walk very short distances and i cannot sit upright.

I will update everyone next week if I am still able to return to work Tuesday or whether I am going to need more time recovering.

I have appreciated everyone's support through my health journey and everyone's understanding and flexibility with your child's appointments and sessions💜My village is amazing.

It was really special to receive an early Christmas/goodluck with your surgery gift from a client and his family this week and it came in perfect timing to enjoy these yummy sweets through my recovery now.

I am feeling lucky I have answers and blessed from my clients and the care/support I have received.

Thanks Everyone
Caity Jensen

Hi Everyone
I just wanted to thank every single one of you for the support and understanding over this past year. As you all know my daughter Chelsie has had her health battles this year and I have felt so guilty for all the times I have had to cancel appointments on your children; but it wasn't for nothing it was for giving me the time to nurture her and bring her back to her happy & healthy self each time🥰 I also want to thank my parents who are in the photos below as they too have been amazing support. Chelsie turns 3 on Tuesday so I thought It would be nice to share her smile with you all to share my thanks to you all for continuing to support and care about my family as much as I care about yours💗

As most of you know Chelsie had a recent episode in Children's Hospital with post viral cerebellar ataxia. This was a very scary experience for me but it also made me realise how much my parents went through with my health battles as a child. This has made me want to support this cause with a passion as my parents were well supported through Ronald McDonald House and therefore I want to show my appreciation towards this charity.

I’m joining Ronald McDonald House Charities to Dance For Sick Kids this year.

I’ll be making a move every day for 7 days, to raise money that will help families stay in a home-away-from-home, access emotional and financial support, and more. From day one in the hospital and for as long as it takes, your help ensures that families don’t have to navigate the challenges of illness or injury alone.

Please support me, this is not in my comfort zone at all due to no dance abilities however it is close to my heart and I have a few children who I work with and they are keen to show me how to dance. If you think your child would be interested in doing a dance in a session with myself next week please send us a message with their interest and we will get back to you.

You can show your support by donating via this link:

When a child is injured, or diagnosed with a serious illness, it affects the whole family. For many families, it can feel like it’s impossible to hold it together. That’s why I’m making a move, and dancing for sick kids. Join me and raise the roof, by helping me raise funds for Ronald McDonald...
