My Summary
About Me
Hello fellow parents,
I’m Kerry Joanna, mum of one. I'm utterly devoted to children and families, creating an environment for them to grow organically, in alignment with themselves. As a qualified occupational therapist, yoga teacher and15 yrs nannying experience, I’m here to listen and together we can create the best solutions for your family.
As an occupational therapist, I have a keen interest in the noticing the environment and how this impacts our life & sensory systems. Yoga teachings help me to understand how I can support the sensory system to regulate.
I love to create spaces that are individual and inspiring, supporting the whole family to thrive. My approach with young people (and people in general, including myself) is compassionate & non judging.
If you’d like to get together for a play date or informal chat, please get in touch.
Thank you for reading and I hope you find the perfect person to support your family.
Fees can be negotiated for lower income families in need.
