When my daughter was in deep crisis, she told me she no longer wanted to be here.
I had no tools and nowhere to turn.
The systems around us had no answers.
I felt utterly helpless and afraid.
In that desperation, I first came across Conscious Parenting™. I began with small steps - slowing down, listening differently, paying attention to what was happening inside of me.
Over time, things began to change.
My daughter felt safer. Our home softened.
I realised the answers I was searching for weren’t out there - they were inside me. I began trusting my Self.
That experience shaped everything I share today
What I’ve Learned
- Connection matters more than correction.
- Our children are not ours to control or fix.
- We can’t take away their pain, but we can stand with them in it.
- Healing begins when we turn inward and trust ourselves.
These aren’t abstract ideas to me - they are truths I’ve lived.
What I Do Now
Occasionally I work with individuals, as time allows. Mostly, I’m writing, talking about and sharing what I’ve learned so far, both as a human and as a Mother, inviting and guiding other parents and caregivers to remember their truth and un-earth the wisdom inside themselves.I carve out spaces, wherever possible, so that people can feel seen, heard, safe and supported to reconnect with their own knowing, in order to attune to their children.
I’ve learned to take up space for myself, to slow down in nature, for music, art and conscious connection with loved ones - to nourish and sustain me, so I can remain on fire for all us humans to authentically see and hear one another.
An Invitation
So, if you’re right now feeling overwhelmed, helpless, or disconnected, you’re not alone. I’ve been there - and I know it can change.When we learn to slow down, listen inwardly, and meet our children with presence, new possibilities open. That is the work I now share.
