First and foremost, I am the very proud mum of 4 boys. Yes, that makes life busy and interesting and very, very noisy! Mostly, it continues to highlight for me the need for continual learning as a parent. Every day my skills are challenged as I negotiate life's highway with my boys. Each is travelling in a completely different vehicle and each is learning how best they navigate around the hazards, the bumps and the potholes along that journey. My learning, as a parent, will never end and what I have learnt and used I love to share with other parents to help them and their young ones to navigate the highway of their lives.I qualified initially as a Speech Pathologist specialising in school-aged children many, many years ago. From there my passion grew to support children and their families beyond the scope of speech and language. I have completed many qualifications - as a Counsellor, an Accredited Parenting Coach, a Social and Emotional Learning Trainer for several service providers, as a Professional Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner. And that's just for starters! I love learning and sharing my learning with others gives me great joy and fulfilment.
