Parents often tell me they don’t feel motivated to potty train…

I don’t think its motivation. I really don’t want parents feeling down on themselves. I think potty training feels so unpredictable and unknown that sometimes it gets shelved.

Parents tell me they have spent hours and hours googling how to train, asking a friend, sharing about it on Facebook groups, checking out Pinterest posts and feeling overwhelmed.

What these parents need is clarity, direction and confidence. Here is where I come in… I can set it out clearly, share hacks, resources, give you a plan, explain in detail, answer questions.

Empower your child

Positive associations for life

Principal Lisa, aka The Potty Queen

You may know me as Principal Lisa.

I am an Ex Nursery School Principal in Dubai and I have worked with babies and children of all ages in a variety of ways for the last 33 years. During this time, I have been fortunate to work closely with hundreds of families as I came alongside them to guide and support them in family life. I’ve worked my way from a hands on nanny work to leading nursery settings. 

I guide families to find the root cause of unsettled young children and to work through to a solution with ease and growth…

Quite simply, my goal is to empower you to empower your child. Each child is unique and I dig around in my treasure chest of wisdom to find the tools you need for your little one.

Over the last three years of working solely in the community every case has taught me the power of simple practical solutions. Its these easy to apply ideas that have made the difference for families facing challenges

I wanted to say thank you so much for your fantastic weaning workshop yesterday at Mom Store. I didn’t get a chance to speak to you after the class, but I found it so beneficial. Looking forward to baby Senan reaching 6 months so we can start his weaning journey!

Mom Alexia

Thank you Lisa for such a great session with Alexia. You are an incredible human with so much love for children! Alexia absolutely loved you and connected with you immediately! I loved the way you brought play into the poo discussion -Alexia was so entertained and involved. Appreciate all the advice as well. Thanks again

Mom Nour

Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop! I enjoyed attending it very much. Good info and tips that I found very useful. I realized now that my toddler is having a meltdown and not a tantrum. And thank you for the advice! Looking forward to your next workshop and would love to hear more about your tips!

Jumeriah International Nurseries

It is a joy for us to work with Principal Lisa. Her warm, fun, flexible and contagious personality makes it extremely easy for us to collaborate and ideate meaningful campaigns together - that have clear objectives and represent both Lisa's authentic values and our own brand values. She has her pulse on the ground on the latest social media trends and will find creative ways to go above and beyond for her clients. She also knows the current needs/wants of her families which enables our campaigns to reach the right people, in the right way. Parents trust her, find her incredibly relatable and feel that she adds more value into their lives and children's lives - and many parents have joined our family of nurseries following her recommendations and referrals. For all of the above reasons, we choose to work with Lisa repeatedly on multiple campaigns throughout the academic year and are proud to have her as an ambassador for our brand.

Hello Principal Lisa, I hope you are well. I just wanted to update you regarding Zayn’s toilet training. We delayed doing it by a few weeks due to illnesses and travel. I started “officially” training him on 6th May. And today, a week later, I can happily say he is toilet trained. Thanks to your advice and tips, it was a smooth an stress-free process. I knew what to expect, I was able to manage resistance from him, not put pressure on either one of us and make it a happy and playful experience. We had 2 accidents this week, they didn’t feel like a big deal. Zayn also decided all by himself that he will not be wearing diapers to bed at night so he is night-trained too now! I am so glad I used your services, I will 100% recommend to everyone who is “dreading” toilet training like me or just confused on the right approach for their child. I honestly had no idea it could be such a smooth transition. Thank you so very much!!! Lots of love
