Aletheia Lee
DPhil, RIE® Associate
Dr Aletheia Lee
is an early childhood practitioner and consultant in developmental sciences and educational neuroscience.
She works closely with parents, caregivers, professionals, educators, students, and young children. She aspires to create safe, challenging, and nurturing environments that offer both adults and children the security and freedom to learn and shape their own experiences.
Trained in neuroscience and working with RIE® principles, her integrative perspective combines understanding of the brain, mind, body, and spirit of an individual. She is passionate about the human design, our adaptive capacity, and our wonderful ability to learn.
She feels strongly about good health, authentic connections, and safe spaces. She loves the outdoors, sports, music, fantasy and science fiction, and all manner of toys, textiles, and animals. When she’s not in a session or at her desk, she’s probably out grabbing coffee, or in the yoga studio, or somewhere on the road enjoying the planet.
