The Me Tree for Schools was created by husband and wife team Hannah and Danny Gamble - combining their knowledge and experiences as professionals in the worlds of Occupational Therapy and Primary Education - but also their personal journey as parents.
With two primary school aged children, Danny and Hannah personally live through the challenges facing school children on a daily basis. This program is driven from their passion to help their own kids and many others to thrive and become their best selves. It also aims to equip children with life skills that will help them successfully navigate not only childhood, but adolescence and adulthood.
