Allison Rose-Mannall

I started off just like you, I went through childhood trauma, abuse, DV, disability, neurodiversity and raising children with neurodiversity and disabilities. 

 I’ve worked hard, invested in myself to be able to give you the best help and support, from someone who doesn’t just have qualifications, but has lived your life, and fought through it. 

I care and always wear my heart on my sleeve, and for a long time I was told this was a weakness, turns out it's my biggest strength. 

And so, I use that strength to help you and your family. 

My children were written off as unhelp-able - look at them now…… My eldest daughter is a high school deputy head mistress - she struggles managing her ADHD but works on it daily. My son is an amazing hair stylist, recently on Netflix Red Carpet after styling the stars wife's hair, he is AuDHD and medicated - he finds going to the gym helps him and using his love of design to do wedding & prom hair. My youngest daughter is Autistic, she shut herself away as a child and has auditory processing disorder, so she games and works from home designing clothing around her favourite tv shows, LGBTQ and Disabilities.

From a young age I would run away from home where I felt I wasn't loved or wanted due to being a 'sick' child. I didn't fit in at school, was bullied and talked too much. I just wanted people to like me and as I aged I just wanted to marry the next guy who said he loved me, as all I wanted was to be loved. I looked happy but inside I worried constantly about what people thought of me, so I never stayed put for more than a few months until I married at 19 and had my first child. I divorced at 21. I went on to have three children, put on weight due to illness and medication - I hit my very lowest and knew I needed to 

change this.

I'm a neurodivergent parent, advocate, and connector of people. I bring lived experience, cultural depth, and a practical, empathetic mindset to everything I do.

I’m of Polynesian ancestry and was adopted at birth, so identity, belonging, and resilience have always been central to my journey. I’ve worked through the mental health challenges that can come with adoption, neurodivergence, and trauma — and that’s given me the insight to support others with authenticity and compassion.

As a parent of an ADHD child and someone currently on my own Right to Choose pathway for ADHD, I understand how complex and overwhelming the system can feel. That’s why I use my experience to help families navigate it — calmly, clearly, and without judgment.

My background includes:
• Trauma-informed swimming instruction for children and adults with additional needs
• Specialist SEND transport and safeguarding
• Supporting parents through emotionally intense, often isolating situations

I instinctively pick up on what’s not being said. Whether in the pool, in a meeting, or simply sitting beside someone who feels stuck, I aim to create a sense of safety, clarity, and forward motion.

I don’t have all the answers — but I do know how to walk alongside people until they find their own. That’s where real change begins.

I'm a dedicated wellbeing practitioner with over 30 years of experience in Human Resources. I built a career grounded in people development, resilience and creating supportive spaces. In 2017, I followed my passion for health and movement, becoming a qualified fitness instructor. I went on to certify as a Rockbox instructor in 2019, a yoga teacher in 2023, and a Gong Sound Practitioner in 2024.

A wife and proud mum to two boys, I'm a proactive and compassionate SEND parent. I instigated my own family’s EHCP journey and continue to support others navigating the process with empathy and strength.

I'm a social, solution-focused individual who thrives on challenges and has a “can-do” attitude. Following a period of personal loss and health scares, I embraced a new perspective —prioritising what matters: family, wellbeing and helping others heal and grow.

Through fitness classes, yoga sessions, gong sound baths, and mindfulness practices, I create safe, inclusive spaces where people relax, switch off and reconnect with themselves. I support others in releasing stress and pressure, promoting a sense of calm, clarity, and self-acceptance.

My core belief's rooted in helping people LOVE themselves—Let Others Evolve Voluntarily - offering gentle guidance, encouragement and tools for personal transformation. Whether working one-to-one or in group settings, I empower individuals to show up as their authentic selves and explore new possibilities.

My mantra: Smile. Breathe. Go slowly.

I’m Claire—neurodivergent mum of five boys, three neurodivergent with EHCPs and complex needs.
I am a passionate advocate for Neuro-affirming, trauma informed support for families.

I bring a powerful blend of lived experience, professional training, and a whole lot of understanding and no judgement.

My qualifications include IPSEA SEND Law level 1, 2 and 3. Level 3 Early years educator, Level 2 understanding autism and mental health in children and young people and I’m a sleep talker with The Sleep Charity.
I also hold many holistic therapy qualifications including Relax Kids coach, certified life coach, EFT practitioner, hypnotherapy, time line therapy, positive psychology and more.

I know first-hand what it feels like to be the one holding it all.
Trying to navigate the system.
The one researching at midnight, chasing EHCPS, calming meltdowns, and questioning if you're doing enough.
The one who’s exhausted but still showing up.

I’m here to help educate you, help you regulate, connect, and advocate—from a place that feels grounded, not burnt out.
