About me
My experience
After gaining my degree, I worked in several fields before settling into teaching and studying for a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. Prior to setting up Relax Kids with Karen, I was a primary school teacher for 13 years. Previously, I worked in a range of settings from Early Years through to an education centre for teenagers and a corporate computer training facility. The theme running through all these roles is a drive to support other people as they are learning new skills, and this is my passion. This means that I have the most up-to-date training in many of the areas that impact on children’s social and emotional wellbeing.
In case you are wondering, I have:
Full public liability insurance
DBS enhanced certificate
First Aid in an Educational Setting
Child Protection
Other courses I have attended include: Mental Health and Behaviour in Schools, Philosophy for Children, Young Minds, Supporting children who have English as an Additional Language, Dyslexia, Strategies for working with Children with Autism, Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People, Prevent Duty, Fire Awareness, Supporting children with Autism and ADHD, Speed – Agility-Quickness, Mindsets, Food Safety, Suicide Awareness and Attachment Difficulties.
It is a privilege to deliver the Relax Kids formula, as quite simply, it works!
Beyond Work
I am a mother of 2 grown-up children. In my free time, I love yoga, meditation, the Stirland Approach, baking, walking on hills and beaches as well as socialising with family and friends.
