Who we are

Nathaniel Brown is the founder of Barefoot Education Consultants and brings over a decade of experience in education, counselling, and student wellbeing. He holds a Masters of Education in Guidance and Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts/Education (Secondary), with professional registration through the Queensland College of Teachers..

Nathaniel’s career has taken him from remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, where he developed hands-on, culturally responsive programs, to international schools in the United Arab Emirates, where he led curriculum development across multiple frameworks and coordinated the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Back in Queensland, he has worked as a Guidance Officer across rural and metropolitan schools, supporting students with diverse and complex needs, designing individual learning and wellbeing plans, and leading whole-school learning and wellbeing programs.

With extensive expertise in psychometric testing, trauma-informed practice, tailored learning support, Nathaniel specialises in helping families find practical, engaging, and sustainable learning pathways for their children. His approach is holistic, strengths-based, and deeply relational, ensuring that families feel supported and empowered—whether they are homeschooling at home or learning on the road.
