I guide and support families to cultivate loving, nurturing and respectful relationships
After working alongside families for more than 30 years as an Educator, Mediator and Coach, I have seen the transformational impact on family wellbeing when parents learn the art of mindfulness and conscious, self-aware parenting. Emotionally resilient and healthy children are raised when care-givers are invested in their own personal growth.
If you’re struggling with relationship challenges, behavioural issues, or you’re just feeling overwhelmed by the realities of parenthood - I can help. Many of us didn’t get the right upbringing, we struggle with our own self-esteem, self-confidence and self-care. It’s hard for us to pass these qualities onto our children when we have our own unmet needs and challenges.
My experience, insight and understanding will support you to navigate through these times. Using modern relational methodologies, behavioural science and mindfulness practices, together we explore fears, bias, and negative thought patterns to help you and your family break unhealthy cycles and unlock the secret to stronger bonds and improved communication. Like anything in life, building meaningful relationships takes awareness, practice and skill.
Start your journey and empower yourself with the tools to parent and communicate with confidence, calmness and connection.

The key to receptive teens is quality communication. Learn and explore ways to listen, fix less and relax. The years between 13-19 years are usually classified as turbulent times as the children are going through many growth changes, physically and mentally. Your ability to skilfully navigate their emotions is invaluable.

Explore mindful ways to cooperate after separation and put your child’s needs first as a discussion. Co-parenting isn’t about one side winning and the other losing - It’s about teamwork, compromise, and finding collaborative ways through conflict.

A key relationship skill in thriving families is problem solving. Mediation or Couples Coaching enables conversation to flow where there has been a breakdown in communication and trust. Explore new ways to get your needs and values met with your partner and/or family member.

Time on devices and phones need to be safely managed by parents as we all use them to learn and entertain.
