🌿 ABOUT ME
The future of the world depends on the presence we bring to our children today.
Guiding others to a more aligned and peaceful way of living —
where deeper connection to self and others unfolds naturally.
For parents, carers, and leaders longing to slow down and live with authentic connection — welcome.
I’m so glad you’re here.
A Life Shaped by Presence
I help people return to presence — to the quiet, steady wisdom that reconnects us with what really matters.
My work began long before I called it my work.
As a child, I spent slow afternoons with my grandmother — moments marked not by doing, but by ease. Her attention was complete, her presence unhurried.
In that stillness, I felt something deeply human: the warmth of being truly seen.
That simple rhythm of giving and receiving shaped how I came to understand connection.
It isn’t earned through effort — it flows through presence.
A Journey from Overwhelm to Connection
Years later, as a young mother feeling the pull of overwhelm, that early memory called me back.
I couldn’t accept the hurried, disconnected pace that so often surrounds our children.
What began as a personal decision became the founding of Highgate House School in Hong Kong —
a living community built on care and presence, where children, parents, and educators could thrive together in relationship.
Over more than three decades in education and mentorship, I’ve witnessed how genuine presence transforms everything it touches:
a parent rediscovering trust,
a leader creating belonging,
a child feeling safe enough to unfold.
The Heart of the Work
Those lived experiences became the soul of my book,
From the Heart of Childhood: Reclaiming Presence for Connection —
not theory, but the everyday truth of how presence shapes who we become.
From that same root grew The Connected Presence Pathway —
a simple, profound map that helps us remember what’s already within:
safety, curiosity, belonging, and wisdom.
Because the future of the world depends not only on what we teach our children,
but on the presence we bring to them — in our homes, classrooms, and communities.
The Invitation
This work isn’t about adding more to our plates.
It’s about returning — again and again — to what’s essential.
To becoming fully human. Fully present. Fully alive.
The Connected Presence Pathway offers a way home —
to yourself, your relationships, and the quiet wisdom that’s always been there.
If something here resonates, you’re already on the way.

Closing Reflection
The future of the world depends on the presence we bring to our children today.
