Northern Beaches based kids OT in a safe and nurturing space

Why "Glimmer" Children's Occupational Therapy?

In Polyvagal Theory, "glimmers" are the exact opposite to "triggers". They refer to small moments of joy, happiness and connection we experience in our everyday life that bring us back from the flight or fight response, to a sense of calm and safety and help regulate our nervous system.

Our mission is to identify, create and share these invaluable "glimmers" with you and your little ones. We strongly believe in a relationship-based approach that focuses on building and nurturing connections between children and their trusting adults. In this way, we can best help them learn new ways, explore changes and develop their brain.
