Founder + Director

I’m Rachel, and I look at parenting a little differently. While much of parenting advice and education focuses on helping children succeed in the world we know, I’m interested in a different question:

What happens when the world our children grow up in is fundamentally different from ours?

And:

What skills can we develop in our children now so they will thrive in whatever comes next?

I bring together child developmental research and futures thinking to explore what this means for the way we raise, educate and mentor children.

From interpreting what rapid changes in technology means for the way our children experience the world to the skills they will need to navigate a world flooded with information, we’re here to help you think differently about the future so that you can feel more confident preparing your child for it.

Why Trust me?

There’s no shortage of parenting advice online. So why listen to me?

Because I’m not coming at this from a single parenting philosophy, trend or specific approach.

My work sits at the intersection of child development, education and strategic foresight, bringing together what we know about how children develop with a broader understanding of how the world around them is changing.

I’ve been trained in numerous play-based, parenting and therapeutic parenting modalities, all of which I’ve interwoven with my clinical expertise and experience having worked with children, youth, families, professionals and organisations over the last 17 years.

In my work, I bring a deep understanding of communication and cognition, evidence‑based developmental science as well as systems thinking and futures literacy.
