about Sonia Girelli

I am originally from Italy, moved to Australia in 1998, where my passion for children's education flourished. In 2001, I discovered the Montessori Method of education and earned 0-3 and 3-6 Montessori qualifications. Since 2010, I have been a dedicated tutor for the Montessori World Education Institute (MWEI). My journey also includes becoming a mother to 2 girls, now teenagers, a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education and training in Effective Communication.

I am deeply passionate about child and brain development, which has driven me to pursue a variety of professional and personal development courses. Among these, my training in Mindfulness Practice has had the most profound impact. Influenced by thought leaders like B. Lipton and D. Siegel, I have integrated my learnings to foster a deeper understanding of relationships and the interdependencies within them. My mission is to support families in maximizing their parenting journey by providing insights and understanding that enrich their experience.
