About Cat

I’ve been working with children for 23 years across many settings — childcare centres, running a bush school, private tutoring, homeschooling groups/workshops, nannying, and for the past nine years, running my own practice focused on kids with needs that require careful support.

I qualified as a primary school teacher (BABEd), though I chose not to work in schools. Instead, I support families who have often been burnt by education systems not designed for their children and are navigating school-can’t, homeschooling, unschooling, part-time schooling or any creative mix of these!

I’m also mother to a 2-year-old, which has further grounded me in attunement, regulation, and the very real daily experience of supporting a smaller person’s nervous system.

As an HSP (highly sensitive person) with an ADHD partner, I navigate neurodivergent worlds on the daily — and bring that embodied knowing into my work with children, parents, and care teams.

I am a proud supporter of families of all races, cultures genders and family structures 🤎🌈♾️

I work with both NDIS and non-NDIS clients. I’m honored to have worked with children for 23 years and look forward to many more years ahead. If you’re interested to work together, I’d love to hear from you
