Hi there, I am Mandie. I am mum to 2 boys. I am passionate about encouraging children to develop a holistic connection to nature, encouraging curiosity and a sense of belonging.
With over five years of experience in Denmark's traditional Forest School practices and more than 20 years in various teaching positions and 11 years working in child development, I am excited to embark on this new adventure.
I advocate for gentle parenting techniques for educators. My Forest School training has a special focus on working with children with SEND.
