With a background in aerial acrobatics Nina launched her own circus theatre company in 2010 as a newly single mum. The circus community has always been a place where children were integrated into the lifestyle allowing her to avoid the sense of isolation which many new mums face and maintain a strong sense of purpose and identity.
Nina has an MA in Philosophy from the University of St Andrews and is a qualified Steiner Teacher. She has a passion for finding the best ways to live. “We teach what we most need to learn”. Nina has had to go through a deep process of transformation, effectively reparenting herself while raising a child. “It has been an incredibly difficult journey but the process has given me a strong sense of what it takes to be emotionally well.”
Nina is motivated to share what she has learned from her own journey and from influential researchers in the field of parenting such as Gabor Mate, John Gottman, Marshall Rosenburgh and Sue Gerhardt.
