In just 6 weeks, this proven program equips you with simple, practical tools to confidently teach body safety in everyday moments. So your child’s safety stops being something you think about and becomes something you actually prioritise and follow through on.
Sexual Abuse Prevention Starts at Home
You’ve read things. Heard things. Saved posts. But turning that into real, everyday teaching moments? That’s where you find yourself pausing, filtering, wondering if you’re saying it “right.”
You’re a thoughtful and intentional parent, but when it comes to body safety, you’re navigating it without a clear model to follow.
INTRODUCING...
Foundations of Body Safety
Foundations of Body Safety is The Safe Kids Project’s signature programme, where you stop piecing this together on your own and step into a clear, proven way of teaching your child body safety with confidence.
So you’re no longer relying on guesswork but leading with certainty in what you say, how you say it, and how it lands in real conversations, in everyday moments, and in the ones that matter most.

You stop waiting for the “right moment” and start using the moments that are already there.
When someone says, “Give Nana a hug,” you confidently say, “They don’t have to,” without backtracking or making it awkward.
When your child asks a question, you don’t freeze, deflect, or panic, you answer calmly, clearly, and in a way they actually understand.
You’ll be guided through a clear, practical framework that takes this from something that lives in your head, to something you confidently lead in your home.
So that you can...
Hello, I’m a registered psychologist working in the field of childhood trauma, specialising in sexual abuse. With a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology and extensive professional development, research, and years of therapeutic practice, I bring a wealth of expertise to this space.
When my husband and I welcomed our daughter three years ago, I integrated my knowledge into our parenting. Together, we learned and implemented body safety practices in our daily lives. Since then, I made it my mission to share this life-changing information with others.
I navigate body safety education both professionally and personally, living this journey alongside my own preschool age children and husband, as well as my students.
