About Roushini

My name is Roushini. It is a pleasure to meet you. 

I have spent over four, fun filled decades, working with all ages as an incursion facilitator bringing inclusive, fun, entertaining and educational presentations to venues around Australia and overseas. 

I love observing as how children’s minds are endlessly brimming with curiosity, and they are so willing to take on new ideas and immediately apply it to the world around them. It is fascinating therefore I find myself truly passionate in my pursuit to create and deliver high quality fun and learning experiences for them. 

I enjoy learning about new ideas and concepts so that I can create new experiences for children. youth, adults and elders to connect and enjoy.

Meanwhile I have also found time to write and publish two wonderful books, both of which are based on the learnings from my own culture to complement children’s health and well-being – The Magical Rainbow Inside You and My Mummy Tickles My Rainbow.

I have established We-Connect-Ability to provide quality care, support and activities services for NDIS participants. There is mentoring, coaching and counselling for individuals who are caring for others or experiencing overwhelming life experiences.
