Meet the Team
Welcome! I'm Michelle Burke, a children’s author with a passion for wellbeing, holistic health, and education. With a background as a children’s wellbeing fitness instructor and therapeutic coach—and currently studying for a counselling diploma—I have dedicated my career to supporting young minds in a meaningful way.
I am the author of The Lavender Maze Series, a collection of engaging chapter books for children aged 5 to 9. These books are more than just stories—they are designed to nurture mindfulness, emotional resilience, and self-awareness, all while expanding children’s vocabulary. Each book includes an extended vocabulary glossary, helping young readers develop a rich and expressive language. Blending adventure with therapeutic themes, The Lavender Maze Series encourages children to navigate their emotions and thoughts in a fun and engaging way.
Through my writing and work in children’s wellbeing, my mission is to empower young readers with the tools they need to grow, learn, and thrive—both academically and emotionally.
