I have worked with thousands of parents, teachers and children as early childhood director, consultant, lecturer, mentor and diagnostician.  My experience spans 40 years.

My strengths lie in counselling; supporting; listening to issues and concerns; offering professional advice; referring clients to other practitioners; observing, recording and interpreting children's behaviour. I have developed and presented workshops on behaviour management, school readiness, bullying, the  NSW Curriculum Framework and stress management.

This involved:  initial diagnosis of children with learning and behavioural challenges; counselling and advising parents; recommending the appropriate healing modality and/or practitioner; prescribing appropriate bush flower remedies; and conducting brain Integration sessions for adults and children.
