Attachment-based, heart-first support for parents.

You deserve to enjoy parenthood.

Without a doubt parenting is tough. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your child’s behaviour, clueless about how to support them, and constantly feeling that you’re failing as a parent, you’re not alone.

But, you’re in the right place.

Beneath every meltdown, bedtime battle, and WTF moment lies a hidden need in your child. 

Understanding these needs is the key to promoting regulation, encouraging positive behaviour, and feeling like the cool calm cucumber of a parent you want to be.

But, where do you even begin to understand the unpredictability of your little person without getting a PhD in Developmental Psychology first?

Here’s What They’re Saying

  • “As a mother, I felt like I had tried everything to best support my child, but I felt like what I was doing wasn’t able to help him. You were able to not only help me understand what may be happening but also what I could be doing the same or differently to assist my child to regulate.”

    - Steph

  • “Working with you was incredibly helpful for navigating tricky parenting situations that used to take up so much headspace. You helped me see things more clearly and make decisions with greater confidence. It was such a relief to have someone who truly understood the challenges and guided me through them, freeing me up to focus on what matters most - creating joyful moments and strong connections with my little one.”

    - Milly

  • “You were so helpful in supporting us around daycare for our daughter. We learned strategies to assist with drop-off, how to get the most out of centre tours, and the standard of care to expect. You’re so kind, caring, and supportive. Thank you so much!”

    - Sam

  • “Thank you for the chance to be a different parent. I know in years to come this will remain the best thing that ever happened in my parenting journey.”

    - Emily

Parenting support that does what it says on the tin.
