Held was born from a simple yet profound belief:

That every parent possesses the strength, resilience, and love to foster an environment where their family can flourish.

From personal experience, I know how many parents feel overwhelmed in their parenting journey. I also know that a lot of support exists for neurodiverse children, but less so for the parents of these children.

My mission is to be the supportive embrace that empowers you to harness your inner strength, knowledge & resilience, thereby ensuring that you feel held and supported at every step of your journey.

I AM THE FOUNDER AND PRIMARY THERAPIST AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE BUSINESS.

As a mom of two neurodiverse boys and a qualified Occupational Therapist, I have a special ability to hold you and your family through your own parenting journey.

I have worked with children with developmental difficulties and learning challenges for nearly 20 years and ran my own Paediatric Private Practice for over 10 years.

HELD was born through the merger of my professional and personal experiences.
