My Journey

My path to becoming a parenting coach is interwoven with my own experiences. Raised by a single parent facing mental health challenges, I grew up understanding the complexities of family dynamics in such situations. The trauma I experienced in childhood became the catalyst for my commitment to helping others navigate similar challenges and find clarity in life and your parent journey. I'm here to support you in creating a harmonious family life. Even when you co-parent no parent journey experience is the same.

The most valuable gift we can offer our children & young people is not a strategy. It's an adult with a regulated, calm nervous system. They naturally will develop this as we’re connected. Our young people model our behaviours (no pressure 😉) 

Some adults aren’t fortunate to have inherited healthy behaviours or parenting strategies from our parents, others work a lifetime on developing these skills. I’ve done exactly that, if you’ve read my about me page you’ll know the levels of work and commitment to self that took. I was determined to break the cycle of generational trauma and loveless parenting. Nurturing your emotional awareness and developing pathways to move forward in adult and family life is something I can support you with, breaking that feeling of life’s happening to you and thoughts of hopelessness. 

You are the answer. Self belief is key, you have all the answers, you’ve not received guidance on identifying them or trusting them! That’s what coaches do. Good, ethical coaches know and have faith in all clients having the best answers, you know yourself better than anyone, you are the expert of you! 

I am committed to learn about you and hear those hidden messages you tell yourself to enable you to reframe and refocus on being who you truly want to be and achieving all you want to achieve. You deserve the investment you put into others.

Parenthood

Parenthood presents the biggest shift in our lives. Meaning we need to realign almost every aspect of our selves & life that once was.. that's not easy, especially when we're not confident or aware of how to do that let alone parent, nurse, and educate our children. I've felt the need to shift and realign time and time again and still do as life happens and we're ever evolving beings. 

 Your Journey

Your journey starts by unlearning and shaking off previous experiences, stuff that's been too heavy to carry and prevented you from stepping into the new you.  Put it down, if it was a bundle of brambles in your arms cutting your hands would you still carry it? Thoughts / views of self that aren't kind or positive cause the same pain.  Apply the kindness you offer so freely to others to yourself. 

Whether you family is welcoming a new sibling, moving home, changing schools experiencing family illness or any changes .... all change brings loss and that’s hard to accept and work with, it’s not spoken about enough!

I can enable you and your family to extend the capacity for resilience, scaffolding firm boundaries and connections for fruitful relationships and outcomes.

Some previous experiences and circumstances may need a more therapeutic intervention which I can signpost and support you with. There’s no judgement working with me, I am here to hear, see and support you to where and who you want to be! 

**Mindful Parenting:**

Central to my coaching approach is the integration of meditation and mindfulness practices. I've personally witnessed the transformative effects of these techniques in my own life. Through mindful parenting, you'll learn to:

- **Embrace Calm:** Cultivate emotional balance amidst the challenges of parenting.

- **Build Resilience:** Develop the inner strength to overcome obstacles and setbacks.

- **Strengthen Bonds:** Foster deeper connections with your children through present-moment awareness.

- **Navigate Change:** Find stability and peace in times of transition.
