conversations find answers
Phoenix Rising Collective was born from a deep passion for supporting young girls and women through the often-challenging journey of adolescence. At its heart is a commitment to create a community where girls feel genuinely heard, understood, and valued- a place where they can build confidence, explore their identity, and develop the skills to navigate life's complexities with strength and grace. Guided by this mission, I create an environment where young people feel supported, inspired. and safe to grow. My outlook is grounded in inclusively, embracing diversity, meaningful conversations, creative expression and compassionate guidance.
I am a dedicated Special Needs Education Assistant professional with over seventeen years of experience with diverse learning and behaviour support across both mainstream and specialist settings. With formal qualifications in Mental Health, Education Support, and Community Services, I offer a calm, capable and person-centered approach to every environment that I am fortunate to work in.
Alongside my extensive school-based experience, I offer unique group chat sessions for girls, blending meaningful conversations with creative expression through art and crafts. This innovative approach allows young people to discuss important topics such as self-worth bullying, kindness, and school pathways in a space that is both encouraging and safe. By engaging in open conversation with hands on creativity, deeper engagement, emotional understanding, and authentic self-expression.
