Heart and Mind Pathways

I trained as a classical musician, graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts in 1989 and playing the viola professionally, and I have continued to teach both the violin and the viola.

I home schooled my own four children and have been teaching literacy to individuals, in small groups, in school classrooms and to professionals using the Spalding Method since first training in 2002. I fully qualified as a Spalding Certified Teacher Instructor in 2015, and I now run training for school teachers, speech pathologists, students’ parents and anyone else who is interested.

I am passionate about music and literacy learning and their impact on brain development. I believe that all children can flourish in the right environment. I am confident that the methods of teaching implemented at Heart and Mind Pathways provide students with the skills and knowledge to follow their heart while developing their mind.
