From My Story to Yours
After 15 years of teaching children with dyslexia, I realised the missing link to their success wasn’t just academic - it was confidence, self-esteem, and mindset.
As a late-diagnosed dyslexic and a parent of neurodiverse children, I know the journey. That’s why I created the Rise & Shine Programme - to give parents the tools to raise confident, resilient kids.
Imagine This ...
- Your child walks into school calm, confident, and ready to learn - no more tears or tummy aches in the morning.
- They say, “I can do this” - and mean it, even when things feel hard.
- Homework battles and emotional meltdowns are replaced with calm routines and steady progress.
- You finally feel confident in how to support them - no more guessing, Googling, or second-guessing yourself.
- You see progress not just in reading or writing, but in resilience, motivation, and a “can-do” mindset.
- Your child takes on new challenges with self-belief - even in areas where they used to give up.
- Your bond with your child deepens - built on trust, teamwork, and understanding, not daily power struggles.
- Your child becomes more independent - asking for help when they need it, and managing more on their own.
- They feel seen, supported, and proud of who they are - neurodiversity and all.
- Your home feels calmer - fewer arguments, more laughter, and a sense that things are finally working.
Rise & Shine!
Rise & Shine is a mentoring programme designed to bridge the gap between parent and child. It helps parents understand their child’s neurodiversity, advocate for the right support at school and with tutors, and provide personalised strategies that build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing at home.
Ready to Rise - Don't Wait!
Limited spaces available for families ready to thrive.
“Is this programme only for children with a diagnosis like dyslexia or ADHD?”
Not at all! Whether your child has a diagnosis, is waiting for one, or simply learns differently, Rise & Shine is designed to meet them exactly where they are - no labels required.
“My child’s confidence is really low. Will this actually help?”
Absolutely. In fact, rebuilding confidence is at the heart of everything we do. We focus on small, achievable wins that create real momentum - the kind your child feels every day.
“What if my child refuses to participate?”
You're not alone - and it's okay! This programme is designed with gentle strategies to meet resistance with compassion. You'll learn ways to invite participation without pressure or overwhelm.
“We’re already so busy. Will we actually have time for this?”
I hear you - that's exactly why Rise & Shine is built for real family life. The strategies are simple, flexible, and designed to slip into your daily rhythms, not add more to your plate.
“Do I need special skills to support my child through this?”
Nope! You already have what it takes - you just need the right tools and a little guidance. I’ll show you exactly how to support your child in ways that feel natural and doable.
“How do I know if this is really the right fit for us?”
If you’re looking for a nurturing, strengths-based approach that honours your child’s unique way of learning - and you’re ready to walk alongside them with new tools and confidence - Rise & Shine was made for you.
