ABOUT
Early Years Specialist | Inclusion Advocate | Trainer & Parenting Coach
I have over 25 years of experience supporting young children and families in the UK and internationally.
I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight, shaped by growing up across different countries and cultures.
This taught me that:
• Change in early childhood can feel overwhelming
• Trusted relationships and nurturing environments help children thrive
My experience includes:
• Leading an Ofsted Outstanding-rated preschool
• Supporting children aged 0–5 with a wide range of needs:
– Autism
– Behaviour that challenges
– Down syndrome
– Cerebral palsy
– Klinefelter syndrome
– Trisomy 9p
– Angelman syndrome
• Delivering training and webinars for professionals and families in the UK and the UAE
My approach is:
• Notice early
• Respond with care
• Support through connection, movement & play
At the heart of my work is a simple belief:
Early support makes a big difference.
When we take time to notice, understand and respond, we shape not just development - we shape how a child sees themselves and their place in the world.
"Behind every young
child who believes in himself, is a parent who believed first."
