About This coach

I live in the wonderful community of Frome, Somerset in the UK. We returned home a year ago following a year of travels in New Zealand and around the Pacific on a sailboat. I home educate my 9-year-old son who has sensory processing needs and is neurodiverse. Parenting and home educating him has been one of the most challenging and rewarding roles I have ever taken on. Thanks to him I know way more than I ever thought I would about Minecraft, Rubik’s cubes and Dungeons and Dragons! But also, inner courage, emotional resilience and the absolute power of feeling safe in your body and surroundings for releasing your true self into the world. Coaching really supported me in my own parenting journey and the transformation I saw in myself, my son and our family dynamics inspired me to support other parents in finding their own path to family fulfilment.

What Makes THEM Special?

I have over 20 years experience working with children, their families and educators in a variety of roles including as a nursery auxiliary, nanny, learning support assistant, ASD outreach worker, educational psychologist, coach and clinical supervisor, with additional specialisms in child and adolescent mental health, neurodiversity and the impact of trauma.  As a home educating parent of a child with neurodiversity I also have a personal experience of the deschooling process and educational trauma recovery.

I work with parents to help them shift from surviving, to thriving. I empower parents to press pause for a moment and consider how they actually want family life to be, and how they want to get there. My coaching weaves the science of child development and psychology into the unique intricacies of each family situation, providing a truly tailored, and therefore, effective approach.

Informed by my experience I provide a truly holistic service that is compassionate, creative and action orientated - serving as a catalyst for positive change. I support parents to decipher the nuanced needs that underlie their child’s behaviour, fostering connection at a deeper level and enabling them to move forward as a family.
