For 15 years, I’ve worked with children of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, but with an affinity for neurodivergent children. Using literary engagement for social and emotional growth, I’ve observed the positive impact of storytelling firsthand, but becoming a mother made me feel this impact at home. The gift of reading with my son from birth, and witnessing his development from newborn to today, inspired me to share my love for storytime with a broader audience.

After discovering that my son is 2e (Twice Exceptional), my passion for expanding awareness and understanding of neurodivergent children (and possibly their parents, too!) has combined with my mission of empowering households and classrooms with SEL (Social & Emotional Learning) storytelling.

The overwhelming response from like-minded parents and teachers in need of substantial resources and support during the pandemic inspired me to broaden the scope of Hippocampus Clubhouse and offer more in assisting those wishing to nurture their neural pathways and the developing minds of children.

Through our One Stop Book Shop and Parent Portal, Hippocampus Clubhouse is a strong and trusted resource to:

• Understand how the brain develops and burgeon neuroplasticity in all ages

• Increase inclusion, SEL (social & emotional learning), growth mindset, and body safety education curriculum in both households and classrooms

• Support households of neurodivergent children and parents

• Uncondition adults with negative generational parenting patterns

• Offer guidance towards healing trauma and inner child reparenting

• Empower families & classrooms to quite literally change the world
