The Magic Ones is my love letter to the magically brained younger humans who move through the world with depth, wonder, and wild imagination.

They might feel things bigger, notice things others don’t, or struggle with the noise and pressure of a world that doesn’t always make space for them. That doesn’t make them broken. That makes them magic.

 

And just to be clear—magic here doesn’t mean exceptionalism or pressure to be inspiring. It doesn’t mean masking big feelings to make others comfortable. It means being fully human, in all your glorious contradiction and sensory brilliance.

 

My one-on-one therapy is for these Magic Ones—and for the adults who love them. Together, we explore safe expression, emotional regulation, sensory support, and identity development through art, play, storytelling, and gentle, responsive connection.

 

This is a space for difference to be honoured, not fixed. For joy to coexist with struggle. And for your child to be met, not managed.

Sessions are run in ways that affirm each child’s communication style, sensory needs, and neurotype. Depending on each child’s NDIS goals, this may include:

  • Art-making and creative expression to support emotional regulation

  • Play-based exploration to develop identity, boundaries, or confidence

  • Sensory-informed tools and routines to support co-regulation

  • Storytelling, movement, and metaphor to process feelings safely

  • Collaborative support for navigating big changes or transitions

  • Parent/carer guidance and support

We work slowly and relationally, respecting the time it takes to build safety. We’re not interested in compliance. We’re here to co-create connection.

NDIS & Therapeutic Goals

 

Support through The Magic Ones can be funded under:

  • CB Improved Daily Living

  • CB Increased Social & Community Participation

  • CB Improved Relationships

  • CB Improved Emotional Regulation

  • (Some goals may also align with CB Finding & Keeping a Job for older children and teens)

 

We help children and families work towards NDIS goals such as

  • Learning to express emotions safely

  • Developing independence in routines and communication

  • Increasing social confidence and participation

  • Supporting sensory regulation in everyday environments

  • Building identity, resilience, and self-understanding

  • Supporting transitions (e.g., school, new environments, or diagnosis)

A space for the whole family

 

We know families are often carrying a lot. That’s why we make space not just for children but for their parents and carers too.

 

We can offer:

  • Parent-child sessions

  • Carer support and advocacy

  • Letters, reports, and resources for schools and care teams

  • Collaboration with your child’s OT, support worker, or psychologist

 

You are the expert on your child. We’re here to walk beside you, not over you.

At Rainbow Muse, we believe every child carries their own kind of magic.Some children speak it through paint. Some through movement. Some through stillness. Some through deep, quiet knowing.

 

The Magic Ones is our dedicated program for neurodivergent children and their families. We offer therapy that’s playful, sensory-aware, trauma-informed, and never about fixing who a child is. We work alongside each child, building trust, expression, and self-understanding—one gentle session at a time.
