Weaving Wisdom through Body Language and Connection
Vanessa Baulderstone
Vanessa, the guiding star behind the enchanting world of Alkira Adina Equestrian, has long been a master of blending learning with the magic of animal companionship. At her flourishing educational haven, children delve into the wonders of maths, literacy, and communication with horses as their trusted learning buddies. Now, with a heart full of passion and a sprinkle of whimsy, Vanessa has crafted Feathered StoryWeaver, bringing the same delightful experience into schools, ELCs, OSHC, and beyond, with hens as the new feathered friends guiding the way. With a rich background in teaching, youth work, and early learning, plus a dash of business savvy, Vanessa is driven by a deep love for animals as learning companions—not mere tools—helping young minds unlock the secrets of communication in the most delightful way.
Vision
At Feathered StoryWeaver, our vision is to create a world where learning is as captivating as a storybook and as natural as the flutter of a feather. We envision classrooms and learning spaces where children connect deeply with themselves and others, guided by the gentle wisdom of our feathered friends. Through storytelling, animal companionship, and hands-on experiences, we aspire to nurture emotional intelligence, communication skills, and a sense of empathy in every child we meet. Our dream is to weave a tapestry of understanding and kindness, one feathered lesson at a time, empowering young minds to thrive in a world where connection and compassion are at the heart of every interaction.
