Celebrating Recognition: Best Neurodivergent Children and Adult Therapy Service 2025 – South West

I’m honoured to share that Quester Therapies has been awarded “Best Neurodivergent Children and Adult Therapy Service 2025 – South West.”

This recognition means more than a title - it represents a growing awareness that supporting neurodivergent children and adults needs to start from the foundations, not just at the surface level of symptoms or behaviours.

Why the Foundations Matter

Over the years, I’ve seen so many children who are bright, creative, and full of potential, but who struggle in ways that don’t seem to make sense — difficulties with focus, coordination, handwriting, emotions, or learning. The same is true for adults who come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, even after trying traditional routes.

Often, the missing piece lies in the early developmental building blocks of the brain and body. At Quester Therapies - Wired4Learning, I work to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface by looking at:

• Retained Primitive Reflexes – Early movement patterns that, if still active, can interfere with learning, posture, balance, and emotional regulation.

• Auditory Processing – How well the brain receives and interprets sound, which can affect attention, comprehension, and sensory sensitivity.

• Nutrition and Toxic Load – Identifying where the body may be struggling due to deficiencies or environmental stressors.

• Mindset and Emotional Regulation – Supporting the nervous system and helping people build resilience from within.

When these foundations are addressed in the right order, change doesn’t just happen — it lasts. Children become calmer and more focused; adults find clarity, energy, and balance returning to their lives.

An Integrated, Whole-Person Approach

This award recognises the approach I’ve developed through kinesiology, reflex integration, auditory training, emotional support, and nutritional insight - a model that looks at the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.

It’s not about labelling or quick fixes. It’s about understanding how the brain and body communicate, and helping that connection flow more freely.

A Shared Celebration

I see this award not as a personal win, but as a sign that the world is beginning to pay attention to this deeper, foundational way of working. Every parent who’s asked questions, every adult who’s been brave enough to look beneath their symptoms - you’re part of this shift.

Together, we’re proving that when you start from the ground up, true resilience becomes possible.

With gratitude,
