Hi there parents, caregivers, and teachers!

I am so glad you’re here!

Teaching is my profession and passion. I have always found a way to teach! Whether it’s volunteering as a Sunday School teacher, organizing a children’s club, or homeschooling our children, I have been teaching since I was 14.

We homeschooled our kids for 11 years and while we loved it we were challenged by how differently each of our kids learned. When our son was 15 he was diagnosed with Autism and it answered so many questions that we had!

BUT, accessing resources, at that time, was nearly impossible. In my desperate search for much needed services for our child, I discovered some amazing learning centres that were half way across the world from us. Sadly, we could not afford to go there. It was out of that inability to access much needed help for our son that a dream to start my own learning centre was born! Body Brain Learning!!!

Now here we are, 17 years later and I have come through 3 university degrees (education), and much training in therapeutic methods that support and bring freedom to learners! Wahoooo.

Body Brain Learning was born out of desperation, long years of study & life experience, and …. love.

It is now my passion to help both parents and students discover how they learn best, identify their strengths, and advocate for themselves effectively. I believe that empowering learners to have autonomy over their own learning is a lifelong gift. My dream is to see children and their families have the tools and knowledge to take control of their learning journey.
