Hello! I’m Ramann, and I love creating community and working with people.

I'm a learner. Growing up, I was always curious about the world around me. My passion for environmental education blossomed into a career focused on social justice, where I discovered the power of community and connection. I started my journey with organizations like Earth Day Canada and War Child Canada, working to foster engagement and sustainability. This early experience lit a fire in me to advocate for access and equity, particularly for underserved communities.

I'm a teacher. As I transitioned to supporting students through Pathways to Education Canada, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of education. I had the privilege of guiding young minds toward high school graduation and their next steps. Today, as a specialized reading intervention teacher with the Toronto District School Board, I continue to empower students, helping them unlock their potential and succeed in their academic journeys.

I'm a mom. Of all the roles and seasons of my life, my most rewarding one is being a mother. Navigating the joys and challenges of parenting has deepened my understanding of family dynamics and inspired me to explore Conscious Parenting Coaching. This experience, combined with my pursuit of a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, has equipped me with the tools to support families like yours through Parent Coaching Sessions.

I have a special commitment to serving the BIPOC community, parents and educators. I understand the unique hurdles they face and the need for a safe, inclusive space where they can feel valued and respected. In my practice, I emphasize empathy, authenticity, and confidentiality, fostering genuine connections that nurture trust and openness.

Whether you’re a teacher feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your classroom, a parent seeking guidance through the ups and downs of family life, a member of a marginalized or racialized community or someone looking for personal growth and healing, I’m here for you. Work together in a strengths-based way we can turn challenges into opportunities and create a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Are you ready to begin this journey together? Reach out today to schedule a free 30-minute meet & greet to see if we are a good fit!

Ramann is accepting new clients for online or in-person appointments (Dundas/Hamilton).
