​"I guide parents and carers through feelings of frustration and despair to feelings of confidence and calm in the context of tricky child behaviour. I do this by helping you understand what your child's behaviour is telling you, learn new ways to communicate, help you set and maintain firm yet loving boundaries, and ways to feel more connected with your family. 

I will listen to you with no judgement and offer guidance in how to overcome the challenges you are facing. and how to support the little people with big feelings in your life.

As a parent of three young children, I understand and appreciate the challenges and stress involved in raising kids. Believe me...I know! Although I'm still in the trenches, I've been learning and implementing conscious, mindful parenting for over 10 years and I invite you to let me support you in the ups and downs of your parenting journey.  

Much of my work guides parents through effective strategies to keep calm during even the most chaotic times. Keeping calm is often one of the biggest challenges we as parents face when our little people press our buttons! You don't have to do this alone anymore. 

My approach is attachment based and trauma-informed and will appeal to parents who have tried everything and want to parent at a deeper level than just time-outs and sticker charts.

​Through our time together, I can guide you through respectful, developmentally appropriate techniques to communicate with your children in a way that promotes cooperation and minimises defiance. 

If you have had enough of the power struggles and resort to bribes and threats more than you like, then I can help you develop the skills, knowledge and tools to turn things around. I strive to improve the relationship between parent and child and bring the joy back to parenting."
