At 25, God placed me on a transformative path of self-discovery and healing. Through the guidance of my mentor, Rosa Rago, founder of RISE Mind Body Fitness, I began a journey that reshaped how I understood myself, my emotions, and my purpose. It was through this work , and the RISE Method, that the vision for Kids on the Rise was born.

I knew that if these lessons were life-changing for me as an adult, children needed access to them much earlier! This led me to create kids’ self-love workshops and begin working one-on-one with children and families, supporting deeper emotional awareness and stronger relationships.

I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator with a post-graduate degree in working with children with special needs, and I spent seven years in the non-profit sector. Above all, my work is rooted in my faith in Jesus Christ, which now guides every program and service I offer.

Through Kids on the Rise, my mission is to help parents understand themselves so they can truly understand their children seeing behaviour not as something to fix, but as communication to be heard. A place where parents understand emotional intelligence, self regulation and at the centre of it all is God and his love, guidance and wisdom. Together, we build stronger, Christ-centered connections between parents and children.

Because when parents RISE, children RISE too!
