About Us

What we do and why we do it

A team of two! Monique and Cass are passionate about helping people learn, grow and connect with tiny humans. We teach in embodied ways to make sure that your learnings stay with you, even after a course. The potential of tiny humans comes from us and our learnings, let’s work together to give them the best chance at love and success.

Lead Trainer

I’ve always been drawn to learning, not just for my own growth, but to support growth in others. That ongoing curiosity has naturally led me toward teaching and training, where I can share what I learn in a way that’s useful and meaningful to the people I work with. I care very deeply about supporting tiny humans and helping to improve the world in which they experience and grow up in. I’m thrilled and very fortunate that my work brings together everything I care about; people, learning, and making a positive difference in everyday relationships.

Co-Trainer & Coach

Thanks for checking in! I’m Monique, and I truly enjoy being me. I have had the pleasure of working in Early Childhood Education since 2014, teaching and learning the whole time, ohh and I have been a Mumma since 2021 as well! Children are some of the most energetic, fascinating and amazing people to spend time with. I couldn’t possibly tell you how many moments of joy, humour, power-struggles, setbacks, heart-melting connections, and simple cuddles I have been a part of. I wouldn’t change my journey one bit.
