Connecting to Values
I have started creating my first online course for parents of children with Additional Support Needs/Special Educational Needs.
This is a new aspect of my business, however I have a lot of experience supporting parents and children with ASN/SEN in my community education related roles over the last 15 years. I am keen to do more work with this group of people in future. Who knows I might decide to make it my niche at some point!

The Importance of Diverse Children's Books
The number of children’s books, by UK authors, which have a main character from a BAME background is increasing. However, the numbers are still low.
Highlighting Diversity and Inclusion in the Wellness Industry
The ethnicity of your yoga teacher or other wellness professional isn't of importance to everyone. But for some it is important to learn and be guided by someone with shared and common experiences.
