Supporting Early Childhood Leaders Through Conscious Communication and Relational Leadership Coaching.
Helping you lead with clarity, care and purpose, through stronger communication, deeper connection, and values-led practice.
Support your early childhood service to thrive through intentional leadership, relational communication, and a clear focus on sustaining quality improvement and meeting compliance requirements, while staying grounded in strong relationships and shared values.
Many early childhood leaders feel pulled in every direction responding to immediate demands while trying to sustain high-quality practice. We support leaders to move from reactive decision-making to a more intentional, relational approach, slowing down, strengthening self-regulation and communication in ways that build trust, support team capacity, and embed continuous improvement into everyday practice.

Leadership in Early Childhood is evolving and so are you!
In not-for-profit services, where relationships, compliance, and high-quality practice intersect daily, leadership calls for more than just resilience, it requires clarity, connection, and the ability to mentor and grow others.
​
Over the past decade, I’ve supported early childhood leaders committed to leading well in the midst of shifting expectations, limited time, and sector-wide change.
​
That’s why I created the Conscious Leaders Community, a space for reflective leaders to reconnect with their purpose, strengthen their mentoring practice, and lead with confidence and care.
​
Through coaching and tailored professional learning, we explore practical ways to build communication capability, foster relational trust, and embed sustainable, service-wide leadership and mentoring approaches.
