About Mooki

Hi, I’m Collette. I’ve been where you are.

I’m a SEN mum, a qualified teacher and the creator of Mooki Wellbeing. Mooki is calm, practical help for the whole SEN child, and for the parents, carers and teachers who love them.

My story

Why I made Mooki

Growing up in the 1980s, people called me thick, stupid and lazy at school. Nobody knew then what I know now: I’m dyslexic and I have ADHD.

When I became a teacher, I saw children struggling just like I did. Then my own children began coming home frustrated, and I found out how lonely and confusing it can feel as a parent, too.

Mooki is the help I wish I’d had: calm, simple and kind, for your child and for you.

What I believe

Help for the whole SEN child

A child is so much more than a reading age or a diagnosis. Feelings, confidence, learning and everyday life are all connected, so Mooki helps with all of them, for children with ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyslexia, dyscalculia, speech and language needs and other SEN.

  • Calm first. Every guide starts with what to do right now.
  • Small steps. Simple ideas that take about 10 minutes, with no jargon and no training needed.
  • You matter too. Parents and carers need looking after as well, so there’s a quiet corner just for you.
  • You don’t need a diagnosis to start helping your child.
