THE DIRECTOR
Lou’s vision for the Children’s Imagination Academy (CiA) is a heart-centered learning space for Children, that offers new pathways for positive growth and self-discovery.
She believes focusing on wellbeing and creative mindset is the number one priority to solve all planetary issues.

Her qualifications are in Western Psychology, Eastern Therapeutic Bodywork (Shiatsu Practitioner) Children’s Programme Management, Youth Mentorship, teaching meditation, yoga & performing arts.

I was walking past the high meshed wire fencing outside an inner city primary school when I felt a striking call to do something to help these kids. They appeared to me as caged animals.

Our brilliant Programme Guides and Crew are dedicated to getting to know your unique Child and supporting them on their unique pathway. We also invite in Guest Artists and Experts for our themes to connect the kids to a broad array of creative, environmental and kidpreneurship opportunities to incite inspiration and sense of purpose.
Please join us on the mission to help pave the way for brighter futures for our kids to be their best, bright, cool-calm-connected, creative-solution-seeking self for now and always.

We are change makers.
