Hi, I'm Shawi

I am an auntie to two nieces and a nephew, and an accredited Level 3 Forest School Leader under Archimedes Forest School, a UK-based forest school training provider.

I help parents raise confident, independent, resilient, and creative children.

If you recognize that the current educational system is no longer working and that it’s insufficient to prepare your child for the ever-changing times…

Or if you want to give the best for your child and are actively looking for better ways for your child to cope with the future, then let’s work together.

Do you know that giving the best simply means bringing out the best in your child? It means discovering your child’s potential so that he becomes an independent adult who can think and speak for himself. 

If you are saying yes to this, and you are flexible and willing to adapt to changing times, congratulations! I am happy to serve you, advanced-thinking and smart parent.

Having been stuck for most of my career life, I am passionate about unlocking people’s geniuses so that they live their lives doing what they were meant to do. That’s why I do not want you to waste a lot of years on your kid. Let’s start ‘em young. Let me help you unlock your child’s inner genius so that he’s fully capable of sharing this gift to the world. 

Co-parenting my nieces and nephew allowed me to see the difference between how raising them with tough love is waaaaay much better than baby-ing them. Expect the same when you send your child to learn with me. 

As a Forest Leader practitioner whose main task is to observe, I loosen the reins and give your child the freedom to take charge of his learning. He decides and chooses how he learns through play. He will be exposed to risks that will be beneficial. Rest assured that I create a safe place for your child to develop these skills–creativity, complex problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Forest School Philippines provides the perfect opportunity to your child to learn not just about nature but most especially to discover what they are capable of doing.

Our weekly session has helped my child to become more confident, more positively independent, and more particular with her choices and decisions.

Learnings that we wouldn’t trade for anything... If we let our kids decide on things within their control (empower instead of instructing or showing how), they will thank us eventually.

Aside from having some fun, Forest School taught my kid to be independent, take the risks and decide on her own. There are learnings that can be learned through explorations and Forest School gave that opportunity to Aeymee.

My son and his friends are new to this kind of experience, but they definitely had a great time with their forest adventure, discovering lots of things on their own. Thanks to Forest School for facilitating nature walks like this!
