Being a parent carer is overwhelming – endless paperwork, constant advocacy, and little time to breathe. I know, because I’ve been there for over 20 years. That’s why I created Life Aspland – a place where parent carers can find practical tools, honest strategies, and support that actually works in real life. From planners and survival guides to the SEND Believers podcast network, everything here is designed to help you feel clearer, calmer, and more confident – one step at a time.

Speaking, Training & Collaboration

I bring over 20 years’ experience as a parent carer, campaigner, and trainer – with a knack for making tough topics practical (and sometimes even funny).

👩‍🏫 Workshops & Speaking – I deliver training and talks for professionals and parent carers on advocacy, inclusion, and the real life of SEND families. Always honest, always practical, always memorable.

🤝 Collaborate & Sponsor – I love working with organisations, charities, and brands who believe in inclusion. Whether it’s sponsoring a podcast in the SEND Believers Network, supporting Festability, or co-creating resources for families, let’s make something that matters.
