Welcome to Red Dot Mum!

Hi everyone, and thank you for stopping by!

For those new here, my name is Cindy – affectionately known as “Red Dot Mum.” In 2012, I started this blog as a legacy for my children, a space where I could share the life skills I picked up while raising a family, teaching, and volunteering in my community. Over time, this space has evolved, reflecting both my personal journey and professional growth.

Now, with my children grown and carving their paths, I find myself in a new season of life – one where my work is more intentional, meaningful, and creative. Alongside my writing, I have built an independent coaching practice, weaving together over 30 years of experience in education and community work with formal training from my two Master’s degrees. My focus is on supporting neurodiverse individuals – both children and adults – helping them age successfully and cultivate a better quality of life from an earlier stage.

At Red Dot Mum, I embrace both of my roles: as a caregiver and a coach. These facets of my identity are deeply intertwined, shaping the way I work and the way I serve. This is where I flourish – where I feel most actualised.

I write regularly, so feel free to check back at the end of the month for fresh articles on family caregiving, a life work that continues to inspire me.

Take a moment to explore the blog, browse the site, and connect with me on social media.

Warmly,

Cindy (Red Dot Mum)
