For almost 30 years I have worked directly with children, young people and families in a supportive, caring role. My working background began with my much-loved job role as a registered childminder. After several years in this role, I became an activity therapist for adults with differing abilities and/or mental health difficulties. I then spent eleven years working In Dunluce Family Centre as a LifeStart Family Visitor, delivering a Child Development and Parent Education Programme for parents/carers who had children aged Birth to 5 years. During this time, I also undertook the role of team leader.

In most recent year’s my husband and I became foster carers. It was our fostering and adoption journey which led me to exploring a more holistic way of parenting and engaging with children. I first participated in Mindfulness & Yoga Foundation Training to use at home with our children & grandchildren. I then chose to do the Professional Qualifications which allow me to facilitate Baby & Children’s Yoga, Baby Massage and Connected Kids sessions. These sessions are inclusive for all and I can facilitate sessions in large or small group settings, or 1 to 1.

I have a genuine love for working alongside parents/carers, families and children. I work with a heart centred approach, I am open, honest, kind and encouraging. I aspire for children to feel safe, recognised, joyful, comfortable and relaxed in all of my sessions.
