I am a mum of three daughters, qualified ESOL teacher with the experience of working with primary school children and college students creatively. I was away for 3 year project in Poland where I set up an innovative way of teaching English through empiric way- by engaging pupil's senses ( the body has a kinetic memory and the information that has been processed by the body is proven to be remember
ed). Workshops were run from home so the children had a relaxed atmosphere, a small group, access to cooking, baking facilities and an open space layout which boosted the learning process. In our curriculum we were discovering the cultures of a given country by looking at Arts, Music, cuisine, Geography and Architecture to embrace cross-curriculum. Qualifications:

It is my absolute pleasure and joy to be working with children:
I'm passionate about creativity, stimulating their minds, igniting curiosity, providing an inspiration, facilitate the discovery of the variety of techniques, enabling little individuals to go outside their comfort zones, trying something new and making new experiences through arts and crafts - which will hopefully become a part of who they are and help them to shape their personality/ identity. I'm a big advocate of a holistic approach when it comes to educating children. I believe that not only their soul needs to be nourished with art but also the body needs to be looked after by providing healthy/ nutrient dense, unprocessed food: I encourage no sugar, no gluten to keep those creative minds nurtured and to promote healthy habits. When it comes to stimulating their senses, I am diffusing doTerra essential oils to harmonise their emotions: Lavender to calm down, "Balance" to ground, citrus oils on a rainy day for an energy pick up, Lemon for concentration and "On Guard" during the cold and flue season to help to ward off those nasty germs! I love the way how the oils seem to have an instant benefit- by enjoying a beautiful aroma children respond to it naturally. If you would like to find out more information about the amazing therapeutic properties of the oils I'm happy to share it with you; how our family has been using the plant essences and natural solutions in our everyday life.
