About Hoggs Health Hub

For many years, my work has centred on supporting neurodivergent children and their families, but my journey did not start in a clinic or a university lecture room. It began at home, in the quiet moments of being a parent, sitting beside a child I loved deeply who was overwhelmed by feelings too big for her young body to hold.

I did not begin this work as a professional. I began it as a parent trying to understand my daughter. I watched her navigate anxiety long before she had the language to explain it. I saw the racing thoughts, the shutdowns, the panic that seemed to appear from nowhere. I felt what every loving parent feels in those moments  wanting to make it better, wanting to take away her distress, wanting to understand a world that felt invisible but incredibly loud to her.

This experience changed me.
It shaped how I saw children.
It reshaped how I saw anxiety.
And it eventually shaped the business I built.

Instead of viewing anxiety through a lens of  "symptoms”, I learnt to see it as communication a child’s brain trying to stay safe in a world full of sensory, emotional, and social demands. I learnt to listen differently. I learnt to respond differently.
