We’re so glad you’ve found us! At Regulated and Ready, we share a passion for helping kids thrive through a ‘brain-body connection’ approach that supports their development. Our goal is simple: to provide resources that help children flourish by addressing their whole self, not just their thinking brain, but also their individual differences from a brain-body perspective.
We are Lily, a paediatric occupational therapist, and Mia, a registered child and adolescent mental health nurse. Together, we identified the need for resources that go beyond conventional methods, focusing on a holistic approach that respects and honours the unique ways children experience and interact with the world.
Our mission is to create affordable resources that EVERY family can access. These tools are built on our shared beliefs about how to best support children, their families, and caregivers to help them learn, grow, and flourish.
The Regulated and Ready Way
At Regulated and Ready, we believe that children learn, grow, and flourish when:
- They feel safe – both in their environment and in their relationships with parents and carers. Safety is the foundation for all learning and development.
- They are regulated – We know that kids need to be regulated before they can be expected to participate. Regulation is the cornerstone of development.
- They are met where they are – Children need to be supported at their current developmental level, not where they’re expected to be or ‘should’ be.
- They have the skills – It’s essential that children have the skills needed to meet the demands of the tasks or activities expected of them.
We also know that children need repeated opportunities to practice and develop new skills. Our resources are designed to provide these opportunities within the comfort of their home, working alongside their parents, carers, or support people. They can also serve as a complementary resource to the therapies children may already be accessing.
Our Commitment
At Regulated and Ready, we are dedicated to making sure every family has access to tools and resources that help children feel safe, connected, and empowered to thrive. By focusing on regulation and meeting children where they are developmentally, we create resources that honour each child’s unique journey of learning and growth.
We’re excited to share these tools with you, and we can’t wait to help more children learn, grow, and flourish—together.
