Hi, I’m Dana – a mum of three (ages 1, 3, and 10), a country music lover, a book enthusiast, and a passionate advocate for child development and playful parenting.

With a background as a Child Therapist and years of experience supporting children and families, I know how challenging—and rewarding—parenting can be, especially when mental health or developmental differences come into play. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with practical, playful strategies that are easy to integrate into everyday life.

A bit about my professional journey:

I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science, a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Redesign, and a Master of Social Work. I’ve also completed specialised training in Play Therapy, Infant Mental Health, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These foundations allow me to offer holistic, compassionate support tailored to each child and family.

At Our Mindful Time, you’ll find:

✨ Therapy sessions uniquely tailored to meet the needs of your child and family

📚 Digital resources like workbooks, guides, and sensory-friendly tools to support you at home

🎥 Online courses and memberships (coming soon!) to empower parents of neurodivergent children and build confident advocates

Whether you’re navigating big emotions, building routines, or simply wanting to connect more deeply with your child, I’m here to support you. You’re not alone on this journey—and you don’t have to do it all on your own.

Take a look around, explore the resources, and if it feels like the right fit, I’d love to connect with you.

Let’s make time for what matters most—Our Mindful Time.
