About Us | Paediatric OT & Mental Health Nurse | Regulated and Ready

We're Lily and Mia — a paediatric occupational therapist and a child and adolescent mental health nurse — and we created Regulated and Ready because we kept seeing the same thing: families waiting months for therapy support while their children needed help right now.

We knew there had to be a better way.

Regulated and Ready was built to bring evidence-based, therapist-designed tools directly into homes, classrooms and care settings — so the children who need support don't have to wait for it.

Our approach is a little different

Rather than only working with the 'thinking brain,' everything we create is grounded in a brain-body connection lens — one that respects and honours each child's individual differences, sensory needs and developmental stage.

We believe children learn, grow and flourish when they:

  • Feel safe and connected — in their environment and in their relationships through connection with the adults who care for them
  • Are regulated — because regulation is foundational to learning and participation
  • Are met where they are developmentally — not where they "should" be
  • Have the skills to meet the demands being placed on them

Our resources are designed to be used by the adults who know children best — parents, educators, therapists and support workers — as a standalone tool at home or as a complement to existing therapy.

Because every child deserves support. And it shouldn't cost a fortune or require a six-month wait to access it.
