OUR STORY
Spring into Success was founded in 2022, by two sisters with a passion for supporting the holistic wellbeing of people. The word “Spring”, was deliberately chosen to for its multitude of symbolic meanings. A spring of water conjures up ideologies of fluidity and water’s power for the potential to make change. The imagery of ripples on water signifies our understanding of how changes can have a continuous and extended effect on someone’s life, and on the lives of those around them. Finally, just like a spring launches itself, Spring into Success was founded to be the launching pad for a multitude of possibilities. With a combination of qualifications in both Education and Social Work, Spring into Success can provide programs that are unique and flexible. All programs are based upon theoretical and neuro-scientific understanding, and are designed to support young people, their families, and the local community.
