Hi I’m Deb. At Growing Calm Collective I believe calm is something we can gently grow within ourselves, our children and the environments we create together.

With over 30 years in Early Childhood Education I bring a deep understanding of child development, emotional wellbeing and the everyday realities faced by children, families and educators. Throughout my career I've worked with children across a wide range of needs and abilities, always grounded in connection, compassion and respectful practice.

Since 2016 I've guided both adults and children in building mindfulness skills that support emotional regulation, resilience and inner calm blending practical early childhood knowledge with evidence-informed mindfulness practice.

Growing Calm Collective brings these two worlds together offering simple, meaningful tools to help children and the adults who care for them feel more grounded, connected and supported.

Here you'll find a nurturing space that values:

• Emotional awareness and expression

• Calm, responsive relationships

• Mindfulness in everyday moments

• Practical strategies that fit real life

Whether you're a parent, educator or caregiver, Growing Calm Collective is here to help you create calmer, more connected experiences for the children in your care and for yourself.
