Hello, I am Katha 

My Story

About Me

I have always been a lover of sports and nature. Especially surfing which combines that. I started as a young teenager working with kids (babysitting, kindergarden) and that was the moment I found out that I love working with kids.

In Germany, my first official training was within the ‘social assistant’ care field, I then proceeded to work and gain experience in many different kindergardens and learnt a lot about children’s behaviour and learning environments.

After that I went to University in Germany and studied Educational science. During my studies I was working in a Montessori school and realised that I like to combine sports / outdoor activities with working with children. I involved myself and initiated many different sports nature projects within my time there and really found a passion for this field of work.

Upon successfully completing my Bachelor degree in 2013, my thesis for my final year was titled, “The Meaning of Movement in Childhood” just to give you some insight to my passion for this subject, was well received and really put a stamp on me to follow my passion for this field of education.

After graduating from a sports degree at University in Germany I was drawn to Portugal to work for 2 months in a surf camp. From there it was an easy decision as i fell in love with the country, natural beauty, the local culture, lifestyle and decided to stay. The South Western region has been my home for 6 years now, specifically Sagres and Raposeira

3 years ago I started working with children in Portugal again and realized I want to follow my passion. 1 year ago “The Farm” project started and I am so grateful seeing it growing.

Currently I am studying online to learn more about familytherapy, to help in future parents with their children
