Cert.Ed. D.A.S.E. M.A.
I am an Associate of A Quiet Place offering consultancy, training and supervision. My professional background is in teaching within the Primary, Secondary and Higher Education sectors. My early specialism in Special Educational Needs developed to include my further study in psychology and emotional well-being. This became my focus in Continuing Professional Development with teachers. My commitment to holistic education has been a vital strand to my career.

I have worked for A Quiet Place for over 3 years as P.A. to Penny Moon & Sharon Hanner and have over 20 years experience working in administration and setting up new systems within organisations. I am currently completing advanced E.C.D.L. to become an “E.C.D.L. expert”.
Lucyanne Mackie – Senior Therapist
Originally a primary teacher, I have always had a strong interest, and fascination with complementary therapies and natural medicine. This led me to qualify in aromatherapy and several other hands-on treatments. I later qualified to practice psychotherapy and hypnosis. Using this combination of skills allows me a more informed and organic approach both with individuals and groups.
Sharon Moore – Senior body worker
‘I am a qualified residential social worker and have worked with young people and adults in secure units and homes.
14 years ago I decided to train in remedial massage therapy. I run a very successful clinic in Crosby working with a variety of muscular and skeletal problems. I began working with A Quiet Place 2 years ago in special, residential and mainstream schools’.
Joan Taylor – Documentation
Joan Taylor BEd, ACE(Autism)
Over 20 years teaching pupils with special needs, particularly ASD, showed the need for reduction of stress/anxiety before learning can take place. As a senior manager in school I appreciate the need for accurate data to support the investment schools make in AQP and hopefully contribute to this.
