Everyone has a story about when writing felt impossible.
We do too.
We’ve sat beside children who lit up during maths but shut down when asked to write a single sentence. We’ve watched teens with so much to say struggle to get their ideas out, overwhelmed before they’ve even begun. We’ve seen the fear, the frustration, and the shame that builds when writing feels like a wall instead of a bridge.
And we’ve lived it ourselves—watching how schools, systems, and even well-meaning support can miss the mark when it comes to how children actually learn.

I’m a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist, and I hold a postgraduate diploma in mental health and neuroscience. My work is grounded in a developmental approach that connects communication, cognition, and emotional wellbeing — with a strong focus on writing.
Writing didn’t come naturally to me growing up. I had big ideas, but getting them onto the page felt overwhelming. That experience shaped how I practise today. I understand what it feels like to be stuck at the starting point and how powerful it is when someone shows you a way through.

Occupational Therapist (OT) & Co-FounderI’m an Occupational Therapist with extensive experience working across homes, schools, and therapy settings. My focus is on helping children build the foundations for independence — through self-regulation, organisation, and everyday participation.
Growing up, I was the kid who could focus when things made sense but easily felt overwhelmed when they didn’t. That shaped how I practise today. I know how hard it is to navigate daily life without the right support — and how different things feel when it’s broken down step by step.
