Lucy AitkenRead is a writer, facilitator and coach — and an unschooling mama to Ramona (14) and Juno (12). Out of their own radical family experiment Lucy created DISCO, a course that helps parents de-programme schooling assumptions and lean into trust, joy and agency. She went on to develop Rewild Your Livelihood, a business and money course for rebels who want to earn on their own terms without leaving a bad taste in their mouths or hearts. Hundreds of heart-led entrepreneurs – not just unschooling parents – have used it to step off the 9-5 treadmill and craft work that nourishes life.

Trained in transformational coaching (Joanna Lindenbaum, 2020), neurobiological healing protocols (Havening, 2022) and Inner Child work (Robin Grille, 2017), Lucy stirs all of this into her “matriarchal remedies”: nutrient-dense workshops, intuitive coaching and relational alchemy that work on head, heart and nervous system at once.

Through her writing, teaching and coaching she invites people to remember that pleasure, generosity, trust and creativity are not optional extras but the fabric of resistance — the threads that sustain us as we meet the ache of the world.
