    Dr. Deborah is a counsellor and scientist; storyteller and teacher; guide and Mother. Deborah makes sense of kids for adults who care for them believing this to be the path for transforming families and communities, society, our world as a whole.



    Deborah serves as a leading international expert who provides counselling and educational services to support parents, professionals, and educators. She is also a professional speaker who has presented to the United Nations and The Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education.



    Deborah specialises in the relational-developmental approach based on the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, empowering parents to become the expert on their children with everyday questions and practical strategies. She came to this work as a new mother herself, curious and confident that his approach could shift not only her children’s futures forever, but also her professional approach to supporting and helping others. Today, she serves on Faculty at the Neufeld Institute.



    Deborah is the author of the best-selling book, Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers (or anyone who acts like one) which has been translated into 14 languages and the children’s picture book, The Sorry Plane, which is available in three languages.

    In Rise of the Reader he is giving you over 100 habits to implement into your own reading journey and fulfil your dreams.

    How swapping 15 minutes of social media scrolling for 15 minutes of reading can dramatically impact 20 different areas of your life.

    How to avoid bias and situational advice in the self-help industry.


    Methods for notetaking and information implementation.


    More than 100 new habits to improve your health, wealth, and happiness.


    With relatable anecdotes and engaging stories, Rise of the Reader will inspire and motivate you to take action and embrace the power of reading. Whether you are a student, a professional, or someone who just wants to reach their full potential, this is your guide to self-actualisation and embracing change through reading.
