Together, we can create connected classrooms and a conscious future
Flourishing Futures for Classrooms, Communities, and the World
Why This Matters to Me
My passion for youth well-being comes from lived experience — both as a child struggling with self-worth and as a parent supporting a young person through mental health challenges. These experiences have shaped my commitment to transforming education here in Aotearoa and around the world. Well-being is the cornerstone of a good education, and now is the time to make it a priority.
Education is at the heart of change. Through The Classroom Connections Project, online courses, and resources grounded in Positive Psychology, I support educators to care for their own well-being while helping students flourish. When teachers thrive, classrooms become places of confidence, connection, and creativity.
This land holds knowledge and practices that can transform the way we live and learn. By weaving te ao Māori perspectives, sustainability, and community into education, we create stronger foundations for well-being. From new retreat projects in Fiordland to conversations about indigenous wisdom, this is where we explore what it means to grow futures deeply rooted in place.
