You want the best for your child. You want to know they have been able to reach their fullest potential. My motto ‘no child left behind’ resonates with all families who have faced delays or denials to services. I taught for over 17 years and was a Head of Year to over 360 children, but I left my mainstream position to forge a better pathway when my son was 12 weeks old: I’ve not looked back since. During the pandemic I witnessed many children suffering with speech regression, especially my autistic families. I decided to undertake training in Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy for which I obtained a ‘High Distinction’ and in 2021 I successfully completed a MSc in Psychology (specialising in SEN) which informs my work. I am also registered with the BPS (British Psychological Society). Recently, ‘The Learn to Shine school’ appeared on the BBC after winning the ‘Making a Difference’ BBC award. I have extensive experience of working with and supporting children with Autism, PDA, foetal alcohol syndrome, Selective Mutism, ADHD, Dyslexia, complex emotional and behavioural difficulties, with significant results. It is essential to me that your child is nurtured as an individual, and given the correct tools for the rest of their life. I support numerous companies as an SEN consultant and currently advise Talent management The YMU group on neurodiversity. I am often interviewed for magazines and radio stations on SEN matters and want to dispel the myths out there! I created ‘Learn to Shine school CIC’ around the birth of my own little boy and girl. I know how hard parenting can be, and the challenges families face in the world of education, My passion is to enable every child, including my own, to be able to ‘Shine’.

I believe we hold more potential than we can possibly imagine. I also believe many of us have had experiences that have left us feeling the opposite. We can learn to cope by closing up parts of our hearts for protection, staying small or rigid and we can find ourselves living lives that don’t reflect our true, juicy brilliance. We have a choice, always, about how we respond to what we come up against in life. We may not be conscious of it, but once we are, boy does the game shift gears. I spent most of my life juggling far too many balls, burning the candle at both ends and was petrified of being still. I didn’t know who I was when I wasn’t doing something. This exhausting cycle sprung from a lack of self-love and self-trust, which was a result of childhood abuse I had blocked out. Feeling poor all the time, (no matter how much money was in my bank account), perpetually single and like I was missing out on everything, I was no longer actively suicidal but sitting on a foundation of anger and frustration. Several major traumas in my life had not been dealt with and I was on a lot of medication of Narcolepsy. I was holding it together, but I was far from happy or healthy. I won’t share all the details here but am happy to bring them up when I hold space if they are relevant; suffice to say some unbearable life circumstances lead me to explore the spiritual path, and I began to realise there was a lot more to being alive than I was currently experiencing. For a while I couldn’t see it, but I had started to turn my life around from it’s very depths. It hasn’t been easy, and it definitely hasn’t been boring. I have travelled across rainforests, mountains, warehouses and the cosmos to find answers, but I have generally found more questions. Learning to surrender to what is mystic and trust in my own foundation of courage, compassion and wisdom have been of immeasurable benefit. I’ve connected to an inner power that I was unaware I had, it has guided me to share the tools, lessons and magic I have collected since I first began to heal from the inside out.
