A note from Lisa
Hello, My Lovely
Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I learnt potty training the hands-on way, by doing it myself. I started as a British nanny at 18 and I've spent more than 35 years with young children. As a nursery principal, around 60 children arrived in nappies every year, and I had one term to get them confident on the toilet.
I keep my training up to date in the UK with a children's bowel and bladder charity, and I attend their conferences, so what I teach follows current UK standards. I'm also a committed follower of the RIE® (Resources for Infant Educarers) approach. I completed my RIE® practitioner training in 2025, just before becoming a granny, so everything I do with children and their families is done with kindness and respect.
Whether you're just starting out or you've tried everything and feel stuck, there is so much here to help you. Have a look around, and come and say hello.

What Families Say
"After 3 months of trying to train our daughter I reached out to Lisa. We were taking two steps forward and two steps back. We had tried everything. Lisa coached me for 2 weeks and in that time we cracked it. She uses techniques that I had never heard of or seen online. So innovative. 1 month on and we are totally nappy free."Melissa, mum to Sophia
"Lisa has been a massive help. She has helped us to potty train our youngest and help our eldest with some poop challenges. The Potty Queen's ideas were really helpful and super beneficial. She also helped us in so many other areas of family life and it's been amazing."Julie, mum to Rose and George, Dubai
"Our son Mako was 4 years old and we had experienced several failed attempts at potty training. He would scream and scream if we asked him to use the toilet. We listened carefully to her advice and we tried her tricks. Fast forward 3 weeks and it was all over. Thank goodness."Mako's mum

Why The Potty Queen Method™ Exists
As a Nursery Principal, I supported class after class of toddlers each year, often around sixty children at a time, guiding them from a reliance on nappies to confident toileting independence, ready for school. I loved seeing how happy it made the families, and the child seemed to walk a little taller with their pants on.
By the time many parents sought one-to-one support, potty learning had already become complicated. Withholding had set in. Confidence had dropped. Several attempts had already been made. My diary became filled with complex cases.
So I began to ask a different question: what if families could be supported before potty struggles became entrenched?
The Potty Queen Method™ was created to reach families earlier, to build capability from the start, and to reduce the need for intensive intervention later. It exists to offer clarity before confusion, steady guidance before frustration, and support before struggles take hold.
With encouragement, The Potty Queen, Lisa

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it like to work with you one to one?
Warm, practical and built around your family. We start by understanding what's really happening at home, then make a clear plan together that fits your child and your routine. I then guide you as you put it into practice, so you're never left guessing.
Which package is right for us?
Not sure yet? Start with a free Potty Training Introduction Call and I'll guide you to the right step. Readiness Consultation (AED 472.50): is my child ready to start potty learning? First Steps (AED 1,522.50): for brand-new beginners. Back on Track (AED 2,572.50): for potty regression, when it's just not clicked yet. Safe to Let Go (AED 4,672.50): for children who are holding on.

How do I book and pay?
Tap "Book now" and pay securely online. Straight after, you'll see your booking links to choose a time that suits you, and your bonus course will be waiting in your Library. You can also pay in instalments with Tabby.
Where do sessions take place?
By Google Meet or phone, wherever you are in the UAE. Your support time can also be 15 minutes on WhatsApp with me, perfect if you're at work.
What is support time?
Time with me, used your way, 15 minutes at a time: I sit with you on WhatsApp, we have a Google Meet call, or I call you. Or put two together for a 30-minute review with Mum and Dad. Children change daily, so your support should too.
How does the course work?
It takes as long as it takes you. Dip in and out, pick a topic and listen, or sit down for an afternoon and watch the videos.
What if my child is withholding poo or scared of the toilet?
This is my speciality. I've helped thousands of families with this. Children may refuse to poo on the potty, hide to poo, or have lots of poo accidents. It's a complex cycle, and I need to listen very carefully to find the root cause. My Safe to Let Go package is made for this, and includes a team meeting with your school, doctor or nanny.
