They are passionate about supporting children and adults to understand themselves and their emotional world. They strive to empower them to learn and develop internal resources in which they can feel resilient and have the ability to self-regulate despite adversities in life.

“I am hopeful that society can be supported to learn and develop emotional understanding and feel their emotions freely, with the support from others and without the unhelpful behaviours they have leaned on as a means to cope with their pain. Our society is full of transgenerational trauma and we need to heal collectively to create a freer and healthier world for future generations.“
