Ivy is a Geelong based mother of three, who runs Parent Education courses that are refreshing yet in I went on to study for several years with Gordon.

I was a young struggling mother when I came across the work of Dr Gordon Neufeld. - who is well known for his ability to make sense of children & from his foundation of insight, open doors for change.
