Over the past 30 years, my work has quietly followed a path I didn't plan but deeply believe in. I've spent decades immersed in the science of how people grow and adapt — starting with adults facing mental health challenges, and shifting towards children whose development has stalled or gone off course. I've worked as a clinician, a consultant, a contributor to research and an advisor in complex health systems, often behind the scenes, supporting families, clinicians and researchers around the world in understanding what helps, what doesn't, and why.

Along the way I've held roles in global health and patient-reported outcomes, contributing to evidence dossiers submitted to regulators such as the FDA. I've lectured, reviewed and published scientific papers, served on advisory boards and helped raise the patient voice in research — always trying to ensure that quality of life, not just numbers on a chart, stays at the heart of real-world health decisions.

What began as a single centre has, over the years, grown into a global, virtual hub — today I guide families in their own homes, in many countries, wherever they are and whatever the time zone. The doors are wider than they've ever been.

But none of that matters if it doesn't help you and your child. I created THRIVEChild because I was tired of seeing children's potential overlooked, and tired of parents being left to figure it out alone. I believe, with everything in me, that children can heal, grow and thrive far beyond what the system tells us to expect — when we meet their unique biology with the right kind of support. That's what we're here to do, and it's my privilege to walk beside you as we begin.

I can't promise a one-size-fits-all recovery, because your child isn't like anyone else. But I can promise this: when we seek to understand your child's experience — not just the general spectrum — we find new answers. I don't like labels and I don't like restrictions. I look at the child as the individual they are, and I help you find what a healthy developmental pathway looks like for them. My whole approach puts you front and centre as you become the expert parent your child needs.
