Christian Support for Neurodivergent Families and Churches

I am a writer, speaker, and podcast host who supports churches and Christian families with neurodivergent members. I am an Honorary Research Fellow with Mary Andrews College, Australian University of Theology.With a background in education and ministry, alongside further study in neurodivergence, I equip families, churches and Christian educators with practical, Bible-shaped resources and training.My husband and I have three children, two of whom are neurodivergent. Our lived experience has given me a deep passion for this work and a desire to see Christian families flourish.
