Looking forward to nerding out tonight with Tim and Kevin over houses, architecture, and lots of interesting places!! One of my interests... I think it is interesting to reflect on what has happened to the Great Australian Dream... almost seems just that... a dream! Esp for the next generation of young people. I grew up in a time of rumpus rooms, brown interior design, backyard with lawn...My dad built two of the houses he and my family grew up in. Full of arches and spiral staircases, growing up in the 70s and 80s was an interesting time for Australian housing design. I personally have always loved federation style and colonial housing. Picture the quintessential Aussie house with a large verandah and a gum tree or two. I have travelled throughout Europe and have English roots. Architecture fascinates me 🏠

My heart is filled with joy 💗 This morning I facilitated the 2026 ND Values Vision Board workshop. Supporting participants to understand and explore their values through the use of worksheets and questions/prompts (based on the modality of A.C.T), and then expressing this in a way that represents their values, through images and words. These photos show the journey for each participant 💗🙏🏻

How cool are these stickers!! I just saw them today when shopping for other things... stationery lol 😂 There's something about stickers. I collected stickers when I was a kid. Back in the 80s it was cool to collect stickers and I even had a dedicated album just for stickers!! Who remembers the Scratch n Sniff stickers??!!

Come and join me next Monday in Mandurah for fun and creativity as we explore your values... and then create your very own values vision board. Nat will provide worksheets containing information, prompts and ideas whilst we gently explore your guiding principles and beliefs on how you would like to live your life. Here is an example of one value a client chose and how she chose to express this value through imagery and words 💗 Email me at mandurahndcentre@gmail.com to register your spot today!

Being creative... I've cut up last years calendar and saved some of the images 💗🌻🌸🙌🏻🙏🏻 Now thinking of gluing them down on the mdf backing and making a timber frame 🖼️ so when clients come to my office this will be on my wall 🥰 Plus a gentle reminder to myself 💖

✨Upcoming Workshop - Values Vision Board✨

💗 For Autistic, AuDHD and ADHD women

Join Nat in the New Year and get creative whilst joining your neuro-tribe as we welcome 2026!

The Values Vision Board honours your nervous system, energy and capacity. Nat will guide you and inspire you on finding what truly matters to you (your values), as we use or values to create our very own vision/intention board for 2026 🥰

Shape your vision grounded in authenticity, connection, belonging and clarity.

Vision boards offers the following benefits:

🌸 externalizes thinking and reduces cognitive laid
🌸 supports values based motivation
🌸 integrates visual and somatic processing
🌸 validates identity and reduces masking
🌸 improves emotional regulation and self-compassion
🌸enhances follow-through by visualizing intentions anchored in values

Vision (or Intention) boards are less about productivity and more about self-connection and sustainable direction.

Spots are limited to a max of 5 participants.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

The call of nature is strong. I'm feeling like an adventure... a bush walk somewhere. It's just not the best time here in Perth atm as it's summer and the temp has just gone ⬆️⬆️🥵 I can't believe it's been coming up to 3 years that I travelled over East with my 3 boys towing an old 1980spop up camper! Travelling for 2 months filled my heart (and ADHDbrain) with 💗 Do you have any suggestions where my next bushwalk could be?

This breaks my heart 💔 We have much to learn from this story. Like John and many others both before him and even now, late diagnosed autistic adults are misunderstood. They are pushed around the mental health system. Prescribed medication.. often for misdiagnosed conditions like schizophrenia. When in fact they are actually autistic. Complicated by layers of trauma, being ignored, gaslit, judged, shamed, dismissed, stigmatized... they are not broken human beings who need to be fixed. Autistic adults want to be heard, listened to, and accepted for their differences, and to be supported in a way that gives them quality of life.

I specialise in supporting autistic women and I have many clients who have been misdiagnosed, only then to receive their autism diagnosis. This is not without layers of shame, frustration, anger and trauma after decades of suffering.

For most of his life, Helen’s brother John didn’t know he was autistic. He was diagnosed in the 1970s — a time of limited understanding of neurodiversity and access to professional support.

"The doctor had a very strong Scottish accent, and we hadn't heard the term autism before, so we thought he said 'artistic'.

"John had been living without a diagnosis for almost four decades. I believe him not having validation and professional support severely affected his mental health."

The City of Rockingham has invited me to speak on my journey to diagnosis, how a diagnosis has informed my life and work... as well as how to support neurodivergent individuals. Best of all it's free to attend! But registration is essential.

Someone asked recently about the photographs that are in the Autistically You Journal + Workbook... so I thought I'd share one of my SPIN's... photography! 📷

https://www.flickr.com/photos/oceanandearth/albums/

I'm sharing my Flickr album I started many moons ago now. My interest in photography really took off when I lived in a small country town down south for nearly 5 years.

The beautiful landscapes really inspired me. If you or an autistic loved one has a deep seated interest in something, something they are really passionate about, something that brings them joy and happiness... then please encourage this. Our passions and interests are often what ignites that small spark of hope inside us. It can be our escape from a world ☺️

Maybe now I will slowly add more to my Flickr album, esp since I travelled wirh my 3 boys around parts of Australia 2 years ago. These images are in the Autistically You Journal + Workbook.
