Duna StrachanDuna founded Soaring Wings in 1987.

Duna found that her science background lent itself to the science based Montessori method and enabled her to be a “Renaissance woman”, dabbling in art, music, geography, literature and math as well as science. Duna holds Montessori credentials at the Infant/Toddler and Early Child levels.

Her two Montessori children, Lina and Leith, are grown but the family still enjoys frequent boating expeditions. Duna also received her MEd from St Catherine University.
