The first years of life are critical for a child’s development and can feel overwhelming for parents. Empowering Beginnings is here to support parents early, before concerns escalate. Our sessions provide reassurance and trusted developmental guidance, while building confidence around settling, starting solids, movement, and regulation.

Bubs & Big Questions

A relaxed, clinic-style drop-in group for parents and bubs (0-18 months) to connect and grow together. Feel supported as you navigate early parenthood milestones.

Free Support For Parents & Babies 

The first 18 months of your baby’s life are a season of incredible transformation, for them and for you. It is a time filled with deep wonder, but also one where you are constantly learning a new language: the language of your baby’s cues, needs, and unique personality. At In Sync Therapy Hub®, we believe that every parent deserves a soft place to land and a team to help translate those early moments into confidence. Our Bubs & Big Questions sessions are informal, parent-led chats designed to offer reassurance and clarity exactly when you need it most.

A Space Shaped by Your Needs


There is no rigid curriculum here; instead, the conversation is guided entirely by the families in the room. Whether you are seeking a gentle rhythm for regulation and settling, curious about the best ways to support tummy time and movement, or navigating the sensory shift of starting solids, this is your space to be heard. Each session is facilitated by a specialist Paediatric Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, offering a bridge between clinical expertise and the beautiful, messy reality of daily life.

  • Cost: Free

  • When: Wednesdays 9:00 -10:30 AM Fortnightly

Allied-Health Led | 10-Week Journey | Age-Specific Groups

What We Explore Together
 

Our Empowering Beginnings Playgroups are a supportive 10-week journey designed to help you feel more confident and connected in early parenthood. Led by an Occupational Therapist and/or Physiotherapist, these sessions offer a calm space to step away from information overload and better understand your baby’s unique cues, temperament and needs.

Together, we explore real-life routines in a way that works for your family. From tummy time and movement development to feeding, sleep and settling, you’ll gain practical, evidence-informed strategies you can use every day. We also take a closer look at your baby’s sensory preferences, helping you understand what supports them best.

Alongside expert guidance, you’ll connect with other parents in a relaxed, welcoming environment and leave with a practical toolkit to support your journey.

Frequent Questions

Reassuring Stories From Our Families

I dropped in because I was stressing about solids and all those 'milestone' timelines. The team was so reassuring, they showed me how to follow my baby’s cues instead of the calendar. I walked out feeling much more confident.

Parent of a 6-month-old, Bubs & Big questions

Went in feeling pretty overwhelmed, but having an OT explain why my little one was doing certain things was such a relief. No 'should-dos,' just really helpful advice that actually worked at home.

Parent of a 7-month-old, Developmental Playgroup

Understanding my daughter's sensory profile has made our days so much smoother. The activities are great for the kids, and it’s been so good to meet other parents who are going through the exact same things.
