About Me

I am an experienced early childhood educator and facilitator, as well as a mother to two teenagers. I have a deep passion for supporting parents to create positive, peaceful relationships with their children. Understanding that modern parenting comes with unique challenges—such as the overwhelming flood of online advice, the influence of social media, and the loss of traditional family support networks—I provide a trusted, evidence-based space for parents to learn, grow, and gain confidence in their parenting journey.

Through workshops, practical tools, and compassionate guidance, I empower parents to navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence. My approach focuses on fostering strong, respectful parent-child relationships while helping caregivers feel supported and assured in the decisions they make for their families.
