​
Cindy fell in love with Montessori almost 20 years ago. She was browsing the education aisles of a library and found two Montessori books. She read them in one evening. She was hooked and as they say the rest is history. Cindy then went on to train as a Montessori teacher at all three levels (Birth to 12). She was a Montessori teacher in London for 10 years before moving to Bristol and becoming the Headteacher of Rozey Days Montessori school. Cindy holds a BA (Hons) Education, as well as training in Attachment theory, Forest school education, Froebel education, Non-violent communication, RIE (Resources for infant educarers), Makaton and children's yoga.

She home-educated her children for a couple of years until it all got too much. Cindy believes that we need to stop trying to force our children to fit in the mould of what is the current outdated culture and instead change the culture into an inclusive; attachment based environment. Cindy brings to her practice her experience in Education in France, Washington DC, Sweden, the UK, Peru and Portland, OR. Cindy now lives in Bristol with her husband and two children.​​​​
​


After the birth of her first child she decided to leave her job as Headteacher and trained as an antenatal and Hypnobirthing teacher. She opened Montebebe and offered Montessori playgroup, workshops and One-to-one. Then 2020 happened: a mix of lockdown and a rainbow baby pregnancy meant her mental health was suffering and she finally understood why some parents found it harder than others to implement Respectful parenting. As a result she trained as a Beyond Birth practitioner, 3 Steps Rewind practitioner, somatic parts (inter family system) practitioner and as a somatic Trauma specialist and started a MSc in Child and Adolescent mental wellbeing.​​
