Christine has had a varied career in early childhood education, taking on roles as an educator, consultant, trainer, and advocate for innovative and trauma-responsive caregiving. She specialises in combining therapeutic modalities with play to create environments that prioritise nervous system regulation and neuro-somatic integration for both children and their educators.
Her expertise lies in trauma-sensitive caregiving and education, supporting neurologically-sensitive motor development, and the use of neuro-somatic based approaches to child-adult interaction. Christine designs bespoke training to meet the specific needs of early years settings, with a focus on fostering environments that support the natural development of the nervous system. This ensures children and adults experience optimal regulation, well-being, and readiness to learn.

Christine’s work centres on the importance of co-regulation, trauma-informed practices and relational attunement, demonstrating how these principles underpin academic success and long-term flourishing. Her holistic approach places the nervous system at the heart of care and education, creating sustainable practices that allow both children and educators to thrive. Known for her collaborative training style, Christine empowers educators to embed these principles into their daily practice, ensuring environments that truly support everyone’s growth and well-being.
