Welcome to Learning to Love

A space where the art of connection is grounded in compassion, self-awareness and the timeless truth: love is always the answer. This isn’t about lofty, abstract ideas; here, we’re working with real people, in real time, practising love in its many forms. Whether you’re a parent raising the next generation or an individual seeking to mend old wounds, this is about moving beyond the destructive cycles we’ve inherited and embracing a gentler, more humane way of living.

What Is Learning to Love?

At its core, Learning to Love is built on a simple yet profound idea: love isn’t some fleeting, mystical feeling—it’s a skill, one that can be honed and cultivated. Through my courses and coaching, you’ll gain practical tools to foster more compassionate and meaningful relationships. From peaceful parenting techniques to emotional resilience training, each offering is crafted to help you unlock deeper connections—with yourself and those you hold dear.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. In my experience, both children and adults thrive when we abandon rigid expectations and meet each other in our beautiful, imperfect humanity. By turning inward and embracing love in all its messy complexity, we can create space for growth and healing, both for ourselves and for our families.

Why Learning to Love?

The courses available through Learning to Love are grounded in years of experience—as a teacher, as a parent and as a lifelong student of human behaviour. They draw on wisdom from comparative religion, psychology and alternative education, all deeply rooted in empathy, attachment theory and non-violent communication. Whether you’re navigating the early years of child development or the rollercoaster that is adolescence, I’m here to guide you through it all with an unwavering commitment to love as a path to transformation—for you, your family and even your wider community.


The Learning to Love Journey

This journey isn’t linear—it’s filled with moments of learning, stumbling, getting back up and trying again. Humility, courage and a good measure of self-compassion are essential. My courses are designed to help parents, teachers and individuals develop the tools they need to nurture loving, healthy relationships. Whether you’re aiming to better understand your child’s developmental needs or navigate the often stormy emotional landscape of adolescence, Learning to Love offers the guidance and support you need to do so with grace and intention.
