Acknowledgement of Country


Sovereignty was never ceded. No treaty was ever signed. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which this work is made, and that does not become less true with time, legislation or silence.

FREE 2B ME acknowledges Elders past, present and emerging. This body of work exists because systems cause harm when they ask people to become easier to accommodate. No community in this country has been asked to do that more often, or for longer, than First Nations peoples.

We hold that as a matter of practice, not sentiment.

For your life

For your practice

Start with Access Before Intervention: FREE 2B ME’s professional companion and the foundation of the professional books.

  • Access Before InterventionCreating and protecting access before reduced engagement, distress or behaviour is read as resistance or incapacity.
  • Behaviour Makes SenseA rights-based guide to Positive Behaviour Support, beyond compliance.
  • Beyond RegulationConsent-led sensory, relational, communication, movement and rest practices, used within professional scope.
  • Practice That HoldsSupervision, teams and systems that keep neuroaffirming practice alive under pressure.

Your life belongs to you. Supporting it carries responsibility.

For your life. Four books explore understanding yourself, what nourishes you, the support you choose and the life you want to live.

For your practice. Four professional companions explore what these ideas ask of practitioners, supervisors and organisations: how they understand people, make decisions, provide support and remain accountable.

Each book stands on its own. Read the one that matters to you, its companion, or both.

The person-facing books offer language, reflection and possibilities for your own life.

The professional companions bring access, evidence, reasoning, consent, scope and accountability into practice across counselling, Positive Behaviour Support, disability support, supervision and organisational work.

Across all eight, the person remains the author of their own life.

Eight books. Two perspectives. Less fixing. More living.

What did “fine” cost?

Book one

FREE 2B ME: Less fixing. More living.

A book about embracing all of you and making room for the life you want: your ideas, identity, relationships, ambition, support and joy.

What changes when you stop treating yourself as the only place change can happen? Hidden effort, skills, support, health, relationships, conditions and authorship, without making conformity the goal.
