MEET THE TEAM OF MENTORS
A small, dedicated team works together to support each child’s learning in a natural, outdoor setting, following the child’s own interests and curiosity. Each team member brings unique skills—a primary school teacher, an outdoor learning and forest school leader, and a support worker—collaborating to create experiences that nurture the child’s growth in meaningful, joyful ways. Set in beautiful Somerset countryside surrounded by trees, water, open countryside and friendly animals, the team observe and respond to the child’s questions and discoveries, allowing nature to become both the classroom and the guide. Through shared reflection and gentle guidance, the team ensures that learning unfolds organically, honoring the child’s pace, passions, and wonder.
I have a strong belief in a holistic approach to learning. This means looking at the whole child—their emotional well-being, their passions, their sense of safety and belonging—as much as their academic progress.
I have a real passion for child led learning, outdoor learning and nature based study. As well as an understanding about movement and freedom to move. I strongly believe in the 6 principles of forest school.
I’m 45 yrs old & only just had my diagnosis for AuDHD. I myself found school a very difficult place to be as It didn’t suit me & what I needed.
Working with children at Move The Mind is such an honour to be part of.
I feel deeply passionate about supporting children’s emotional wellbeing and the environment being the most important aspect to a child thriving.
I am happiest when I am busy helping to facilitate learning and inspire children, young people and adults in creative ways.
I have previously supported teenagers through Mentoring Plus. I’m always happy to discover more.
