Supporting Educators Who Want to Go Deeper

​

I am ideally positioned to help those seeking to begin or deepen their teaching practice. I am a Level 3 certified Forest School Leader, founder of Little House in the Forest, and love to share my life-long passion for alternative pedagogy with everyone. I have an extensive background as a socially engaged artist and have taught the art of observation, creative facilitation, and process-based learning to students at art schools, internationally, and now to educators.

​

I mentor educators who want to develop the intuitive, observational, and creative skills that transform good practice into exceptional practice. Whether you're starting a nature-based program, deepening your existing practice, or looking to create more holistic, child-centered learning experiences, I offer one-to-one mentorship tailored to your unique context and goals.

My Approach

Alongside my Level 3 Forest School expertise, I'm inspired by Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Self Directed Learning approaches, and believe in drawing from multiple pedagogies based on what individual children need rather than rigid adherence to one methodology. I believe education is not about filling empty vessels, but nurturing the seeds of potential already within each child. I bring an artist's eye to education—teaching educators to truly see what children are communicating, respond intuitively in the moment, and create environments where wonder and learning naturally flourish.

​

I look forward to growing something beautiful with you!
