Hello, I'm Jess. I am a Early Childhood/Primary Years Teacher, and certified Mindfulness Practitioner.

Having worked with children in both schools and kindergartens, in teaching, directing and educational leadership roles, I recognise that children all bring their own uniqueness to the world. I am passionate about helping each child to develop confidence in their unique self while learning skills to support their positive wellbeing & life long learning.

As well as my teaching qualifications I have trained in Circle of Security and mindfulness techniques (accredited by the International Mindfulness & Meditation Alliance). I am equipped to teach children tools for breathing, relaxation, mindfulness, and therapeutic art. I believe that first and foremost children need to feel safe and calm in order to learn, and that empowering children with these tools and strategies will build their confidence, independence and problem solving skills in both the learning environment and in life.

I am trauma informed and experienced at working with children who have a diverse range of learning needs. I am registered with the Queensland College of Teachers, and hold a current first aid certificate.
