Haidee loves humans.
She just can’t help it – she’s curious, caring and supportive.
Her professional background is varied across different ages and stages of life, with different needs and experiences. She is proudly a committed Trauma Informed practitioner. She has specialist knowledge in complex case work and substance misuse, and is committed to fostering community and achieving social justice.
Haidee is a British Wheel of Yoga Diploma level teacher for adults and has additional training in teaching children and young people. She is part of local and regional networks of yoga teachers. Alongside this, she is a mindfulness practitioner, who regularly takes part in further professional training to hone her craft and fuel her appetite for learning.
Haidee founded The Tree Project CIC because not everyone gets the same access to wellbeing activities. She’s on a mission to raise the profile of collective care and ensure everyone has access to learn the tools to thrive in life.
Often you can find her outside, even when she’s at work. Haidee is Neurodiverse and relishes experiencing the world in her own way, taking great joy in enjoying the moment, listening to and feeling everything she possibly can – even the bracing cold of the sea in winter!
Rachael is passionate about inclusion and participation.
She has been working in education for the past 25 years, in mainstream and special schools, in the third sector, and in university, and is a qualified teacher and SENDCo. Rachael is currently leading a therapeutic alternative provision for young people aged 7-16. She is motivated to help people access opportunities and get as much out of life as they can.
Rachael is a wife, and a mum of two rugby-playing boys, so is often found standing on the sidelines cheering embarrassingly loudly. When she’s not next to a rugby pitch, Rachael enjoys roller skating, embroidery, random craft, going to gigs and festivals, and is rather obsessed with stationery.
Emma wants a better world for us all.
Her career spans more than two decades in roles offering care, support and leadership to individuals and staff in recovery and homelessness services.
After a break from paid-work to care for her child who has additional needs – and importantly focus on her own needs too, as a person, and as a parent of a child who needs extra support – she returned to her work with people who are homeless, and became a Complex Lives Navigator, working with women in particular.
She’s a self-professed lifelong learner who loves a new challenge! Complementing her psychology degree, she is currently back at university studying a BA in Theology Ministry and Mission. Outside of her extended education, she loves walking at the crack of dawn and loses herself in playing her guitar. Emma is another water-baby, likely to throw herself in any glorious body of water that she finds outside in the South West of England.
Emma is very committed to social justice and empowering individuals, especially women, to have choices and agency in their lives. She is driven by her love for humanity and takes people as she finds them, using Trauma Informed Practice to hone her connection skills. Her own life as a mum to 3, with lived experience as a single parent, and now a Mimi (Granny) to a gorgeous little boy, helps to fuel not only her insight, but her desire for a better world.
Siobhan loves supporting meaningful causes.
Siobhan is a one-woman powerhouse when it comes to project management services supporting charities.
Her varied career behind-the-scenes in roles such as Business Manager, HR Manager, and Finance Manager has helped her develop her extensive professional skills, knowledge, and dedication to supporting projects that do-good.
She has always poured her heart and soul into every organisation she’s worked with and always feels grateful for the opportunity to contribute to meaningful causes.
When she’s not meticulously organising projects, she loves hitting the road in her campervan, tap dancing and cinema. As an avid cinema enthusiast, she diligently volunteers at a local charitable cinema, helping others to experience film and love it as much as she does.
