Hi, I'm Nadia, founder of The Pod.

I'm a qualified teacher with over 20 years of experience supporting children and young people with SEND and complex needs. as a former gymnast and trampolinist, I'm also qualified in Rebound Therapy and Flexi Bounce Therapy, with expertise in therapeutic behaviour management and inclusive communication, including Sign Along.

I've always been passionate about the power of movement and the impact it has on the physical and emotional wellbeing. I'm incredibly proud to have the opportunity to create a space where everyone, regardless of age or ability, can experience those benefits in a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Hi, I'm Emily.

I joined The Pod after spending 18 years working in schools, supporting children and young people with SEND. My role at The Pod covers all things admin, as well as looking after the website and helping to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

I'm also trained in Rebound Therapy and am passionate about helping people access opportunities, build confidence, and feel part of their community. I love being part of a team that makes a real difference and creates a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone.
