I am an educator, researcher, and sensitivity specialist committed to helping people understand themselves and others with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. My work blends scientific evidence with human experience, translating research on the human trait of sensory processing sensitivity into practical tools that support learning, wellbeing, and connection.

For more than 30 years I have worked with learners across every stage of education, from early schooling through to postgraduate study. My doctoral research explored sensory processing sensitivity, a trait shared by around one in three people, in education and learning. This experience has shown me how differently people process information, emotions, and environments. I have seen how sensitive individuals flourish when they have language for their experiences, when their environments support their needs, and when sensitivity is recognised as a strength. I have also seen the challenges that can arise when sensitivity is misunderstood in classrooms, workplaces, and in daily life.
