The Giraffe: A Symbol of Strength and Perspective

Our logo features a giraffe, which is more than just an animal; it’s a powerful symbol of what we stand for. Giraffes are known for their tall stature, giving them a unique perspective on the world around them. Just like a giraffe, we aim to help children rise above their challenges and gain a new perspective on their abilities.

The giraffe also represents:

  • Grace in Growth: Giraffes grow into their height gracefully, and we want to nurture that same sense of grace as children learn and develop skills.

  • Strength and Support: The giraffe’s long neck and strong legs enable it to stand tall and steady. Similarly, we strive to provide a strong foundation for children to feel supported as they reach their potential.

  • Community and Connection: Giraffes live in groups, relying on each other for safety and support, much like how we collaborate with families to create personalised sessions tailored to their unique goals.

About Leigh

Person smiling in front of green leafy background

Leigh has extensive experience in paediatric occupational therapy and is deeply passionate about supporting all children and families to thrive. Growing up, Leigh noticed the inequities in opportunities for girls in sports, which sparked her dedication to ensuring that every child—regardless of their background, gender, or whether they have a disability—has the chance to participate in meaningful experiences and activities.

As a certified sensory integration therapist, Leigh brings a wealth of knowledge and specialised training to her work. She has completed extensive courses to provide the best possible support for the families she works with. Leigh is particularly passionate about educating families on the importance of movement and the foundational skills required for everyday tasks, such as dressing, writing, or play.

Outside of work, Leigh enjoys stepping out of her comfort zone and trying new things, staying active through exercise, and spending quality time socialising with friends. Her enthusiasm for learning and growth mirrors the same encouragement and care she offers to the children and families she supports.

Leigh is committed to helping every child build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to stand tall and succeed in their daily lives.
