The crux of the matter

Astrolabe Therapy is my personal quest to overcome lifelong challenges. Despite possessing a high IQ, I faced academic and social struggles that perplexed my teachers and parents. This not only hindered my academic pursuits but also limited my chosen career options and participation in sports, extracurricular activities as well as impacting my ability to be organised, attentive, social, coordinated and connected.  

I was constantly advised that no remedies were available, and I should accept my 'limitations'. Despite my diagnosis offering me relief that my challenges were not a result of laziness, disengagement or lack of hard work, there was a sense of grief.  

This compelled me to look outside of mainstream establishments, and after years of tirelessly searching for meaningful answers and help to transform my struggles, I finally discovered scientific explanations to the prevalence of these symptoms that is backed by over forty years of research and clinical studies. A proven drug-free approach can and has dramatically improved and transformed my life. 

As a teacher and therapist, I am driven to detect early signs to mitigate children’s struggles and barriers to their potential.  I see their difficulties through the lens of both their experience and mine.

As educators, we tend to overlook behaviour and outbursts as a child acting inappropriately or lacking in discipline, when in fact behaviour is communication, a non-verbal language that is demonstrating the sense of insecurity they feel. They are trying to tell us that something is amiss and that their system is not functioning as it should. 

Most parents, like mine, and myself as an adult with countless questions get dismissed by conventional expertise; signposted to a quick fix-medication without looking into the root cause of what is causing their child’s symptoms. 

It is my hope to guide, inspire, and empower parents to see beyond the challenges their children face and the boundless potential that lies within their child.

At Astrolabe Therapy, our primary focus is to support you to continue your journey with hope by our passionate commitment to transform your child’s life by identifying, assessing, and recommending effective remediation using a drug-free movement-based approach.
