Our Educators
Connect Beyond The Plan is dedicated to providing tailored life skills and educational solutions for children, with some assisted technology podcasting skills thrown in for good measure. Because what gets said is priceless and we are providing a voice to those that don't typically have one.
Our team is committed to offering a wide range of services including NCCD and NDIS school consults, family consults, education solutions, client and school support meetings, education programs, and teacher support workshops.
We are passionate about granting access to proven strategies for emotional and social growth, providing expert guidance advocating for children's needs, and empowering children with the skills they need to thrive.

Hi, I'm Tania, an Art Therapy Practitioner and Creative Wellness Facilitator based on the Sunshine Coast. I offer NDIS-friendly one-on-one and group sessions designed to support emotional wellbeing, self-expression, and confidence through creative practices.
With training from Health and Harmony College and experience working in both educational and therapeutic settings, I specialise in using art, mindfulness, and gentle conversation to help individuals explore who they are, navigate challenges, and connect with their strengths.
My sessions are tailored to meet each person where they're at—whether that’s through painting, making beauty products, drawing in a calm space, therapeutic drumming (coming soon), or getting out into the community for creative excursions.I work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants under Capacity Building – Daily Living and Community Participation.I'm passionate about providing a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where people feel seen, heard, and valued. If you or someone you know could benefit from creative wellness support, I'd love to connect.
At Connect Beyond The Plan, we believe that connecting with each other first is key. Then the rest takes care of itself. Let us unlock the potential of your child, provide proven strategies and use our lifelong experience as Educators to provide tools that will help participants thrive.
