Our Story

Busy Brains began with a simple realisation: so many children with additional needs weren't getting the kind of understanding they deserved. Not because anyone failed them, but because families were often left without the right resources or explanations to make sense of their child's behaviour.

I met children who were overwhelmed, dysregulated, and still learning how to recognise their own emotions. They weren't bold or difficult — they were reaching out in the only ways their brains and bodies knew how. Some didn't have the words yet. Others had the words, but not the regulation to use them. And parents were doing their best with limited guidance.

Busy Brains grew from wanting to bridge that gap.

My work centres on understanding why behaviour happens — the sensory needs, the emotional load, the overwhelm, the learned patterns — and helping children connect the dots they can't always connect on their own. When a child finally feels understood instead of misunderstood, everything else gets a little lighter.

Over time, something else became clear. Families were spending money on tools and toys that looked helpful but didn't always support regulation in a meaningful way. Many products were colourful and catchy, but missed the mark on what actually helps a busy brain settle.

That's when The Wiggle Workshop took shape.

It's the creative branch of Busy Brains — a small, playful corner where I design tools that genuinely support focus, emotional regulation, and sensory needs. Every product is shaped by real experience with real children. Each one is intentionally simple, practical, and rooted in what actually works, not what just looks good on a shelf.

Busy Brains is where understanding happens.
The Wiggle Workshop is where solutions are born.
Together, they're here to make life easier for children who struggle, and clearer for the families who support them.
