Parenting an Autistic child can feel overwhelming and isolating – but there's absolutely a way forward that honours your child's beautiful mind and takes care of you, too. Together, we'll create a home where neurodiversity is deeply accepted, support feels natural, and your family actually thrives.

Because thriving as a family matters just as much as your child's development

Autism Support That Centers Your Whole Family

Get to Know Me →

I know how disorienting this journey can feel. As a mum in a neurodivergent household, I've lived those late nights, the endless second-guessing, that crushing fear of being 'too much' or 'not enough' for your child.

But here's the thing: I've also spent over a decade diving deep into education, psychology, and child development, because this was my career prior to having an Autistic child.

Now I get to walk alongside exhausted parents with coaching that's both trauma-informed and neuro-affirming. We'll untangle what feels impossible, find your clarity, and create a family rhythm where your child feels truly safe, you feel genuinely confident, and home feels like home again.

"Chantal became an irreplaceable partner and advocate during one of the most confusing times of our life. She didn’t just coach me – she taught me how to see my son differently. Her neuro-affirming, strengths-based approach changed everything. I felt more capable, more connected, and more seen."

"She was completely invested in my son’s success – and ours."

— Tom W., Wellington

"I was drowning in information and fear after my daughter’s diagnosis. Chantal helped me calm the noise and get clear. She never judged me for the big emotions or the uncertainty. She just stayed with me—patiently, calmly, clearly. I could cry just thinking about how much that meant."

"She was a rock to lean on after the diagnosis."

— Sophia L., Sydney

"We were living meltdown to meltdown. I didn’t even realize how much was sensory until Chantal helped us decode it. The changes we made with her support were simple, but powerful. Life is 100x more relaxed now—and our son feels so much safer."

"Chantal gave our family back its sanity."
