Hello
I'm Kelly!
Your advocate & collaborator
Daughter of artists and tea drinker!
I'm an independent scholar,
education consultant and coach.
I support organisations across the
education sector activate collective
critical dialogue in order to
think otherwise with the world.
By facilitating robust exchanges within
theory and practice,
I nurture and develop research culture
within education settings.
✨
I am here
FOR THE CHILDREN
✨
The precious souls who come here with their own knowledges and ways of being
The ones whose gifts unfurl into a world that at times has trouble seeing them as capable
The ones who call to us through multiple layers of expression if we should only listen
The ones who call us in and ask us why?
The ones who have so much to say and so many ways of communicating with the world
The little ones with quiet voices and loud hearts
The ones who call to us with ideas and theories and curiosity
The ones who gesture to us and sing us home to love and wonder
The little ones with belly roars and tears and stomping
The ones who call out for us to play
The gleeful ones who pull us into joy and out of minds overrun with ‘shoulds’
The ones whose questions roll around our minds as we search for meaning
The ones who gather their own hypotheses and propose to us other worlds and possibilities
If only we LISTEN
If only we TRUST
If only we come to know and grow and learn together
And unfurl our picnic rug of futures and nows and giggles and flourishing
Here we collect each other into community and gather into sparkling constellations
We are mycelial networks of tiny moments and ginormous LOVE.
✨
I am here
FOR THAT
✨
I believe that
EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO THRIVE
In an environment where curiosity is nurtured, learning is joyful, and each day is filled with liveliness and wonder. As educators, we have the incredible opportunity to create such environments and support our children in becoming active, engaged citizens of the world.
Coaching practice
I support individuals and organisations to transform their everyday lives from a state of burnout to one of joy. By fostering a mindset of lifelong learning and curiosity, I help you reconnect with your passion and purpose, enabling you to make a profound impact on your children and community.
Grounded in Thought and Place
Living slowly on Dja Dja Wurrung country, I cultivate my own inner ecology next to a majestic eucalyptus tree. This connection to place and thoughtful living informs my work, inspiring me to think deeply and act with intention.
Together, we can create enriching educational experiences with purpose and heart that are deeply grounded in our local places.
