Bio: As the founder of Elefant Heart Co, I bring over 17 years of educational experience supporting neurodivergent learners of all ages across both government and independent school settings, alongside lived experience supporting family members with disability. I provide neuro-affirming, strengths-based educational services tailored to each individual's unique interests, abilities, and goals. My focus is on building confidence, developing skills, fostering independence, and creating meaningful opportunities for learning, connection, and participation. Collaboration is central to everything I do. I work alongside children, young people, families, educators, and support teams to create practical strategies that empower individuals both at home and within their communities.
