DESIGNED WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS. These workshops highlight the role of parents in the education of their children. The workshops are called “HOMEWORK MADE FUN”. There are specific workshops for each of the following areas: Reading and Spelling, Maths, Culture and Creating Projects. I developed strategies and games for parents to foster sound learning habits and good communication skills with their children.
PRODUCED A VIDEO for parents to show a different approach to handling homework with children.
PRESENTED MOTIVATION WORKSHOPS: based on the work of Steven Covey. These were designed for women in particular who were re-entering the job market

After retiring from a career in all aspects of education I moved to Cornwall to begin teaching and working with men and women in the over 50s age range. I teach The Nia Technique (www.nianow.com)
My project is to bring movement and inspiring music to the over 50s so they can shift, shimmy and shake their way to health and happiness. I have one class in Launceston and reach out to other areas with workshops. I want to bring passion back into the lives of older people so they can call out a resounding YES to the good life and a powerful NO to debilitating ideas about age.
Assertiveness, humour, flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, stability and all round improved physical and emotional health are just a few of the benefits of what my business - "To Health With It" can offer.
I am a student of the Cornwall School for Social Entrepreneurs.
