So proud to be doing some work for these incredible camps all around Australia. Loving the adventure and working with some awesome kids, staff and volunteers

From Coffs Harbour… to Katherine

We’re on the move, bringing Defence Kids programs into regional Australia and reaching more young people where they are.

Children and young people in Defence families can experience unique challenges, from frequent relocations to time away from a parent or carer, which is why connection, stability and mental health support matter.

Our recent stop at the Bear Grylls Survival Camp in Coffs Harbour saw young adventurers take on obstacle courses, team challenges and nature-based missions, learning real survival skills while backing each other every step of the way.

Defence-focused mental health education sessions created space to connect, share and build confidence in a supportive environment.

A huge thank you to the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) for helping make this possible.

📍 Next stop: Katherine, NT
Our first Defence Kids Camp at the Katherine Outback Experience (1–3 May) is just around the corner, and we can’t wait.

KIDS PODCAST

KIDS MINDFULNESS MEDITATIONS. A PODCAST FOR KIDS HITS 1 MILLIONS PLAYS.

Did you know I have a very popular kids podcast that helps children with emotional regulation, stress, worry, and sleep? As a children’s mental health worker, I have thoughtfully created sensory-rich, calming worlds designed to gently support nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing, helping kids feel safe, grounded, and relaxed, while still wrapped in magic, imagination, and wonder.

My kids podcast was created at the beginning of the COVID lockdowns in March 2020. I wanted to offer something supportive for my Kids Mindfulness students while our group program was paused. What began as a small resource during a difficult time has grown beyond anything I imagined. Today, children all over the world listen each night to support their emotional regulation, ease worry, and drift off to sleep.

To date, the podcast has reached over 1 million listens (1,181,384 plays to be exact), with close to 6,000 followers and around 700 children worldwide tuning in to three or more episodes every night.

There are currently 33 free episodes available and enjoyed by children across the globe. I’ve also recently introduced a paid subscription option via Spotify, allowing me to create even more content, more often. There are currently 17 subscriber only episodes available.

For the cost of a takeaway coffee each month, subscribers unlock a growing library of bonus sleep meditations, including 10 exclusive episodes and three new meditations added each month. And never fear- the original 33 episodes will always remain free and accessible for everyone.

I truly love creating these meditations for children, and I feel so grateful to share them with families around the world
