"1 in 4 individuals have a #sensory need or an #invisible disability, These are individuals with PTSD, Autism, Dementia, Strokes just to name a few" Hyatt Hotels Corporation partnered with KultureCity to help understand #neurodivergent #traveler needs. The article goes on to share how to create #stressfree hotel stays start at research and booking stage and how on-property #accommodations and #amenities make a difference. I'd be curious to know how many on-property associates feel #trained properly, even if they had the information on a hotel guest profile?

For all the Traveling Therapists out there, ever find yourself wondering if you’re really chasing the thrill of new places, or if you’re just searching for that one spot that whispers ‘stay’? Each new city, each unique Airbnb feels like a fresh start, but also a question: Can I make this place a little piece of home, even if it’s just for now? 🏡✈️ Here’s the heart of it: 💫 Embrace Temporary Roots: Dive into the local scene, make friends with the coffee shop barista, find your favorite morning jog path. It’s about creating small routines that make each place feel like yours, temporarily. 💫Document the Feeling: Keep a journal or a blog about your stays. What made each place special? How did it feel like home? 💫Flexibility is Your Superpower: Learning to adapt and find comfort in the temporary can actually empower your sense of stability. It’s about finding home within yourself, wherever you may be. Intrigued by the idea of making anywhere ‘home’ for a while, or how to carry your sense of home within you? I’ve put together a guide for therapists (and anyone else) bitten by the travel bug but looking to anchor their hearts a little in every stop. Hit me up for the guide and comment “guide” below. #TravelingTherapist #onlinetherapist #weliveinairbnbs . . . Private practice tips for onlineprivate practice owners.

Getting ready to travel for the holidays? Here are some great tips we wanted to share from Gina Brady in an article she wrote for Motherly® 

We loved the advice in this article about traveling during the holidays if your child has a disability or autism. Share your thoughts below!

What a great article about neurodiversity and how we can understand better the different needs of a traveller. Very insightful.

It's possible to combine self-care, family time and "work" time into one activity. Yesterday's family adventure was jog/walking the City2Surf. It was also my self-care for the week: - physical activity for 3 hours - deeper conversations with my wife about life - being grateful and appreciating what's around By being curious, it was also an opportunity for professional development as a physiotherapist. There were people with obvious mobility problems who participated in the event. Regardless of this, they were able to cover a distance of 14kms. I got to see how: - People made use of different assistive technologies. - Mobilised in their own unique ways. - Transformed encouragement from others into fuel. Seeing people who face adversity celebrate at the finish line has left me: - optimistic - excited - open to what did not seem possible (Photo: my daughter celebrating crossing the finish line after sleeping in the pram 90% of the time) _______ How to achieve "work-life balance": Make work something that you are passionate about and something you would do anyway, without needing to get paid. #physiotherapy #capacitybuilding #ndis

Make more happy family memories - that's a common goal this time of year. If you’re traveling, that goal can be tricky. And when a family member has particular needs, easy traveling is especially tricky. Gina Brady of Fraser has some tips to help ease travel stress for your family.

Hotels are starting to find solutions. . https://lnkd.in/emp4f4ja . An important topic that impacts millions of people—who want to travel but don't for fear their neurodivergent family won't be welcomed, or who do go on vacations away from home but encounter challenges at hotels and resorts.

In a world often dominated by concrete walls and digital screens, reconnecting with nature offers such a profound opportunity for growth, transformation, and healing. Outdoor therapy isn't just about hiking trails or braving the elements; it's about meeting clients where they are, both physically and emotionally. A leisurely stroll along the water or hearing the birds while relaxing on a park bench. It's happened to you, right? Taking in the sight and sound of beach waves, a leisurely hike to see a local waterfall, or a quiet spot in the woods where you take a moment to sit - then the energy shifts, and you can't quite explain why. I recently came across this insightful article shedding light on the growing trend of outdoor therapy, and I'm inspired. Read this article, then I'd love to hear what you think! Have you experienced outdoor sessions with clients? I have a good feeling this technique will continue to grow and be beneficial for so many. #InternalFamilySystems #NatureTherapy #Therapist
