For over 15 years, I've worked with hundreds of children in schools, nurseries and community settings across the UK, Germany and Italy, including autistic children and children with ADHD.
They have been my greatest teachers.
They've taught me to listen beyond behaviour, meet children through movement and play, and recognise possibilities where others may see difficulties.
Today, I bring that experience into individual and parent-child sessions — creating space for children to explore, connect and grow in confidence.
“A suspended, magical time of union, connection, presence without distractions, and listening.”— Stefania Sperindeo, mother of three
Different children, different needs. We can begin with your child, or explore the relationship together.
For your child
Through therapeutic yoga, movement, sensory exploration and imaginative play, I meet your child at their pace and help them explore their body, emotions, confidence and own resources.
Sessions may support children navigating big feelings, sensory differences, attention, transitions, anxiety or difficulties connecting with others. They are also for children who simply thrive through movement and play.
Together
Through shared movement, play, contact and gentle challenges, you and your child explore trust, boundaries and new ways of relating.
There is room to participate and room to observe. You can discover how to offer safety without directing every step — allowing your child more space to choose, try and take initiative, while remaining connected.
Not sure which experience fits your family? We can explore it together.

We might begin with a game, explore balance or movement, notice what our bodies are telling us, or find a moment of stillness together.
Sometimes I lead. Sometimes I follow. Sometimes the most important thing I can do is step back and give your child room to discover something for themselves.
There's space for curiosity, laughter, challenge and rest — enough structure to feel safe, and enough freedom to explore.
A parent-child session can offer something rare: time to be together without the usual rush, while also seeing your child in a new light.
“It was really an opportunity to look at my son from two perspectives: from within, because I was participating, and from outside, when I watched him act. I saw him gradually create his own space, moving away from me in a positive sense — to act, to interact with you and to take initiative himself. This was special, because it doesn't happen every day that we can suspend expectations and the directions in which we so often try to take our children.”
“You make children and parents feel so at ease … a serene, relaxed and joyful atmosphere, but also with the right rules.”— Stefania Sperindeo, mother of three · translated from the original Italian
You don't need to know exactly what kind of support you're looking for. Tell me what you're noticing, what feels difficult, and what you hope might become possible.
