Welcome! I'm Mary.

Are you hoping to deepen your understanding of childhood? If so, you've come to the right place! I'm Mary. Early Learning specialist, speaker and writer.

Weaving together my professional knowledge and personal experiences, I aim to illuminate and translate impactful ways of thinking about children and childhood. Some special focuses of mine include: children's emotional well-being, conscious and intentional practice, the trauma-informed lens, inspiring environments, connection and belonging, and much, much more!

My work is intended for caregivers, educators, parents, and professionals seeking a fresh perspective about children and childhood in today's context.
