✨ At Antarā – The Grounding Place, every child is seen, heard, and supported with compassion.

I’m grateful to share that I have completed certifications in:

📘 ADHD Awareness & Comorbidity
🧠 Supporting Mental Health & Well-being Awareness
🛡️ Level 2 Safeguarding Children

With hands-on experience as a SEN Teaching Assistant and mental health professional, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with children and adolescents navigating ADHD, autism, and complex emotional and behavioural needs.

My approach is rooted in empathy, inclusivity, and neurodiversity-affirming care. At Antarā, we aim to offer a safe and calming space - online and eventually offline-for young minds to feel grounded, empowered, and understood.

Let’s create a world where every child’s mind is nurtured 🌿💛

🌿 If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s behaviour or emotional well-being, feel free to drop me a DM. I’m here to listen and help. 💛

Feeling overwhelmed? Here’s your gentle reminder:

1. Deep belly breathing
2. Journaling your thoughts
3. Going for a mindful walk
4. Practicing gratitude
5. Disconnecting from screens for a while

Calmness isn’t something we force - it’s something we return to. 🌿

These 5 simple practices can help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself - even on the busiest days.

Grateful to receive these powerful flyers from today - each one a quiet reminder that you’re not alone, and that someone out there truly gets it.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating change, or just need to talk to someone who won’t judge - Maambo is here.

💬 It’s not therapy.
It’s peer support.
It’s real, honest conversation from people who’ve walked similar paths.

📍I’ll be sharing these at my university and SEN school networks to help spread the word.
And maybe my cat (Tabby) will help distribute too. 😌✨

🌿 Grounding Moments 🌿

Today, I took a moment to step barefoot onto the grass - just me, the earth, and a little stillness. It’s incredible how something as simple as grounding can help ease the heaviness we carry - the stress, the anxiety, the never-ending to-do lists.

Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed - juggling job applications, balancing my role as a SEN Teaching Assistant, and trying to stay afloat in today’s challenging economy. It’s a lot, especially as an international student. I know many of you can relate.

But I’m also deeply grateful - for a caring roommate and a loving partner who listen without judgment, who remind me every day how powerful it is to feel heard.

✨ If you’re feeling this too - overwhelmed, anxious, or just need someone to talk to - I’ll be available for 1:1 support tomorrow from 5 PM to 9 PM on Maambo.

Whether you need a safe space to vent, share, or just breathe for a moment, I’m here.

You’re not alone. Let’s talk. 💬

Today, on , I’m reflecting on the incredible journey I’ve had as a SEN Teaching Assistant over the past year. Working with neurodivergent children has been a truly rewarding experience full of learning, patience, and unforgettable moments.

One of the most special gifts I’ve received is this artwork from a student, who affectionately calls me “Cookie.” It’s a reminder of the trust and connection we build with these amazing kids every day.

I’m also sharing a moment from home teaching my nephew. Teaching, whether at work or home, has given me a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of every child’s learning style.

Neurodiversity is a strength, and every child deserves to be understood, supported, and celebrated. Let’s continue to foster an inclusive world where they can thrive.
