Communication. Compassion. Caring.
With the Right Tools, Conversations can start.
At Gradatim, our commitment is to help open lines of communication, caring for well-being, and extend compassion to your situation. We started this company because we understand firsthand what it's like to be a child in the hospital, and now as adults, we're dedicated to explaining long-term health to children. We know it never gets easier, but by constantly innovating and crafting the perfect tools, our goal is to empower you during these challenging times.

Our Story
As a child, I was under the care of health professionals. I noticed the lack of resources to help explain medical situations to kids, leaving parents without adequate support. This may have been 20 years ago, however these same problems haven't been addressed.
This inspired me to create Gradatim.
​
In 2022, I completed my MSc in Psychology of Mental Health at the University of Edinburgh, where I combined my interests in developmental and health psychology with my professional and personal background.
​
With experience as an educator, health worker, and learning designer, I have witnessed the transformative power of educational tools. Gradatim is born from my passion for education and firsthand experiences.
​
Our goal is to provide accessible and innovative resources that foster healthier communication and wellbeing for children, parents, and healthcare professionals navigating complex health changes.
