About

Rhian Gwen is a Headteacher, mother, author and creator of Loving Light Stories. Through her books, meditations and resources, she helps children and families explore emotions, healing, hope and life's big questions with compassion, curiosity and wonder.

Inspired by her own journey through loss and healing, Rhian combines her experience in education with a deep passion for supporting emotional wellbeing. Her stories create gentle opportunities for children and adults to talk openly about feelings, build resilience and find comfort during life's challenges.

Drawing inspiration from nature, mindfulness and the wisdom found in everyday experiences, her work encourages readers to embrace hope, connection and the light that exists within us all.

Her Mission

Rhian is passionate about helping children and families navigate grief, change and life's challenges through stories that nurture understanding, resilience and emotional wellbeing. She believes that books can open hearts, start important conversations and remind us that even in difficult times, hope and healing are always possible.

When she is not writing, Rhian leads a primary school in South Wales, spends time in nature, creates new resources for children and families, and continues to share the message at the heart of Loving Light Stories: that every child carries a light within them, and that light never truly fades.
