"Coming into having teenagers, we wanted to share that the kids have a voice in our family and that they know they can come to us about anything and we wanted a little outside help to make sure we were doing that the best we could"

Yep, the tween and teenage years can be tough. Brain development, need for challenge, growth, and establishing who they are. I have developed a suite of programs to make young people feel safe, seen and heard in the family home. I can't stop the weather, but we can learn to dance in the rain....together.

NDIS / Mentoring Support

I have been mentoring young people through life's challenges and opportunities for the past decade.

My restorative approach focusses on young people's strengths, helps build connection to their own story and the important relationships in their life.

Workshops/ Presentations

I bring a wealth of knowledge and stories from working with families and young people to my workshops and presentations. Creating brave spaces to share stories, be curious and learn together in a discussion led approach.
