Meet the Heart Behind
Heart Light Stories
I m a former teacher, parent coach, and now author who has spent years working with children who struggle with anxiety, confidence, and feeling understood.
Through my work in classrooms, small groups, and one-on-one support, I saw the same need again and again—children didn’t just need to be told what to do … they needed to be shown how.
That's why I created Heart Light Stories.
