About Me: I started off my career as an Early Years educator and SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator), where I discovered my passion for helping kids and families thrive, coupled with my own lived experience as a parent to a neurodivergent child. Following a long career in early years including running my own successful early years setting. My circumstances led to me taking a change in direction in order to meet the needs of my own children and in 2023 I trained with Dr Laura Markham to become a certified peaceful parent coach, driven by my belief in positive and attachment focused parenting.
My biggest personal transformation came from my own extensive trauma healing journey. Experiencing firsthand the power of Embodied Processing (EP) I became passionate about helping others in the same way. So, I dove deep, trained as an Embodied Processing practitioner, and continued my quest for knowledge and healing methods.
As much as I loved working in Early Years it dosen’t compare to how much I adore my role as a coach and therapist . I am constantly updating my knowledge and engaging in training to support my professional development and expand my skillset and so far I have gained certifications in: Brainspotting, narcissistic abuse, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and I’m licensed to deliver the 'Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviours' parent course.
My Philosophy: I believe that understanding the neurobiology of behavior and addressing our own emotional blocks are key to effective parenting and overall wellbeing. By educating parents on these aspects, providing them with practical tools and holding space for processing of past traumas and blocked emotions, I empower them to create healthier, more authentic relationships with themselves, their children and achieve greater emotional well being.
Who I Support: My coaching is specifically targeted to support people with:
Managing their child’s behaviour
