Diploma in Primary Teaching, Certificate in Life Coaching

I moved into this community 18 years ago with my family to assist in running an Alternative Education program in the Rodney area.

With my primary school training and life coach training, I am now the wellness coach here at Horizon School part time. I strongly believe in the importance of creating a place of belonging for the students, where there’s a connection, safety and can be fully present, allowing them to be vulnerable to try things, be curious about the world around them and grow in confidence. I love seeing the students come alive and share with other students their talents and kindness.

At Horizon School the teachers care for the whole person, the Te Whare Tapa Wha, the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of students.
