About Me

Hi, I’m Jacinta, Occupational Therapist, and #1 Best Selling Author ofThe Inner Clue Detectives. 

​

In my work with children and families, I kept seeing the same thing.

Children were expected to manage big feelings and "self regulate" before they understood what their body was telling them. But many children first need support to notice the early signals in their body.

That gap is what led me to create The Inner Clue Detectives. 

​

I've also seen how challenges with body awareness and emotional regulation can continue into adolescence and adulthood when these foundational skills aren't supported early. 

This highlighted a clear need for developmentally appropriate, neuroaffirming resources that help children build interoceptive awareness in ways that feel safe, engaging, and accessible. 

​

My work is grounded in interoception, neuroaffirming and trauma-informed practice.

The Inner Clue Detectives was created to support children, and the adults guiding them, to notice, understand, and respond to body signals through connection, curiosity, and co-regulation.
