To be clear, this isn’t the same one-size-fits-every-child approach you often find elsewhere. Together, we’ll come to understand children through the lens of attachment, development, temperament, and their unique sensory profiles.

Think of it as a whole-child approach, which helps you get the thing you long for most…

Clarity and confidence when it comes to tackling the tricky problems we all face when supporting children. 

This isn’t about fixing behaviours. It’s about deeply understanding the needs behind them. 

Everything you’ll find here is about letting children be, well, children.

  • “You’ve been an incredible support as a consultant across our early learning services. Your quick and professional rapport with all educators enabled a deep level of critical reflection to occur and changes to practice to flow through from this. Through this work, we have been able to see “big picture” ideas from our QIP come to life, and educators of different experience/qualification levels all engage in a shared learning journey with children truly at the centre”

    Joshua - Operations Manager

  • “You’ve helped me gain a true understanding of how secure attachments can transform my relationship with children and the impact on all their experiences. I have seen a shift to children who now feel safe, seen, heard, accepted, and comfortable. You’ve truly helped change their experience, and mine.”

    - Sarah

  • “Working with you was incredibly helpful for navigating tricky parenting situations that used to take up so much headspace. You helped me see things more clearly and make decisions with greater confidence. It was such a relief to have someone who truly understood the challenges and guided me through them, freeing me up to focus on what matters most - creating joyful moments and strong connections with my little one.”

    - Milly

  • “You were so helpful in supporting us around daycare for our daughter. We learned strategies to assist with drop-off, how to get the most out of centre tours, and the standard of care to expect. You’re so kind, caring, and supportive. Thank you so much!”

    - Sam

  • “Thank you for the chance to be a different parent. I know in years to come this will remain the best thing that ever happened in my parenting journey.”

    - Emily
