meet Jacquie…
As a Registered Nurse, Midwife, and Child and Family Health Nurse my career has spanned over 42 years. I am also a Circle of Security facilitator.
Along with my husband I have four daughters - 3 birth children and 1step daughter. I am also a grandmother and play an active role in the lives of my grandkids.
My parenting role and professional life have taken me on a captivating journey, exploring the needs of children and the parent-child relationship. Through my own parenting struggles and joys, plus observing and learning from my clients’ journeys, I have been motivated to pursue a deeper understanding of parenting and human relationships.
Authors such as Daniel Siegel, Tina Payne Bryson, Maggie Dent, Janet Lansbury, the work of the creators of the “Circle of Security”, plus the work of Bruce Perry have influenced my understanding of the parent-child relationship. In particular the ongoing research into brain development has shaped how I think about parenting. This research and the effects of digitalisation on our children, families and society, are my keen interests.
