Welcome to Our Corner!

Standing in every corner, together

A young tree can still bear nourishing fruit when its roots are anchored in rich soil.

Wanting to Be More, Do More

For as long as I can remember in my professional journey, I have wanted to do everything. To BE everything. While my journey began in a normal classroom, I was anything but a normal teacher. I wanted to do more. Help more. Serve more.

I wanted to do more. Help more. Serve more.

When Parenting Changed the Path

Falling into parenting a neurodivergent child (followed by a few more) I found myself in a new world. My parenting journey began to steer my professional one. But even in the space of a special education educator, I wanted to do more. Some days I was set on becoming anOccupational Therapist next. Other days a Speech Therapist or Educational Psychologist. I wanted to do it all.

Discovering Neurodivergence From the Inside

Coming to terms with my own neurodivergence triggered a new area of focus for me. I was intensely interested in the why, where and how of neurodivergence and neurodevelopment. I was taken by the idea of finding the intersection between neuroscience, psychology, physiology and environment. We are whole beings made up of different interconnecting parts that impact each other. It was at this point that my love for working with multidisciplinary teams, researching cause and effect and examining all the parts that reveal a child's strengths and difficulties was born. And while I still very much wanted to do everything, a mentor and friend close to me encouraged me to start out by picking one focal point.

Learning I Didn’t Have to Do It All

I realised that I didn't have to do it all. I just had to know what fit where, and who was standing in that corner- ready to catch. Sometimes standing on the outside, while having shared perspectives is just what is needed to guide a team towards a win. I wanted to be in everyone's corner. I wanted to bridge the gap between diagnosis, education and therapy in a way that supports all roleplayers.

I didn’t have to do it all. I just had to know what fit where.

Holding Both Perspectives

Understanding what it is like to stand on both sides of a child needing support and understanding what it was like to be a child needing support is a perspective that is worth sharing.

This Is Not a Solo Journey

But this is not a solo journey. To truly stand in everyone's corner we need to create a space where everyone's perspectives and insights are welcome. A space where the voices of both parents and professionals, children and educators could be heard.

Even a young tree can still bear nourishing fruit when its roots are anchored in rich soil.

Enriching the Soil Together

I have a history full of lived experience and varied perspectives and I am not the only one. Creating a common place where we are not just about punting our services but a space where we enrich the soil with insights and wisdom from all perspectives in order to create meaningful growth. Even from something so new.

LOVING what we do and who we are doing it for.

LEARNING for life and growing ourselves.

LEADING by example and with compassion.

Real, Raw, and In the Trenches

I am by no means a fancy writer or a face for film. What you find here will be real. And often it will be raw. This is the life -the real in the trenches- of parents, educators and professionals working with children of all neurotypes and all abilities.

An Open Invitation

This space is for you.

So if you have found your way to this corner and are still here, we look forward to walking with you. This space is for you — parents seeking guidance, teachers wanting to make classrooms more inclusive, and professionals looking for collaboration or new perspectives.
