ABOUT finding our rhythm
Strengthening Regulation Through Rhythm, Connection & Real-Life Tools
Join us in Townsville for a 10-week therapeutic program designed to support children with big emotions – while building real confidence in parents.
Big emotions, meltdowns and difficult transitions can feel overwhelming – for both children and parents.
Finding Our Rhythm is a structured, attachment-informed program that brings together music, movement and relationship to support emotional regulation in young children, while giving parents practical tools they can use in everyday life.
Where: Currajong, 62 Keane St – Townville Education Centre
When: Tuesdays from 21 April (Term 2)
Time: 10:30am – 11:20am/11:30am
Limited to 6 families
what makes finding our rhythm different?
Why ‘Finding Our Rhythm’?
- Delivered by a Social Worker and Registered Music Therapist
- A structured 10-week Program of Support (NDIS)
- Combines rhythm-based regulation + relationship-based strategies
- Focuses on real-life application, not just theory
- Small group to ensure individual support and connection
This is not a parenting course.
It is a therapeutic, capacity-building intervention designed to create meaningful change.

Together, they bring expertise in regulation, attachment, and rhythm-based therapeutic approaches to support both children and families.
Music – particularly rhythm – is one of the most effective ways to support the body to settle, organise and respond. When paired with strong, responsive relationships, children begin to build the capacity to manage big emotions more successfully over time.
