Scaffolding children to blossom
At Blossoming Minds Developmental Therapy, Director Rachel provides evidence and strength-based approaches following a neurodiversity-affirming framework. Rachel is a masters qualified and registered Child Play Therapist and currently in her last semester of a Master of Autism. Rachel is aiming to gain registration as a Developmental Educator (disability specialist) by the end of 2025 to integrate into her current play therapy services.
Rachel is passionate about working holistically with families and across the child's natural environments such as home, kindergarten, childcare, school and within the local community. As a mother of two neurodivergent children, Rachel has lived experience supporting and advocating for inclusion both personally and professionally.
Blossoming Minds Developmental Therapy recently celebrated 3 years supporting families across the Geelong and Golden Plains regions. We are currently operating in clinic and as a mobile / outreach service.
