Why I Became a Coach

I know what it is to grow up in a house where there is constant conflict. As a child, and throughout my teens, my life was very inconsistent. I grew up in a very dysfunctional maternal relationship where my sense of my world and reality was constantly denied.

I felt unseen, negatively labelled and silenced.

The sense of frustration, unfairness and unease from having to cope with the unpredictable nature of our relationship, showed up in me as spectacular volatile mood swings and outbursts of anger.    The parenting I had was full of shame, blame and guilt tactics, which had far-reaching effects into all aspects of my adult life.

Growing up this way had left me with deep-rooted trauma patterns that manifested themselves in a lack of boundaries, chronic people-pleasing, continual overwhelm, crippling imposter syndrome and a need to play small and hide. Fear governed me.

Years of counselling & coaching, and becoming a parent myself, helped me find the strength and determination to really do the deep work and break through these limiting patterns that were so deeply embedded, empowering me to actively go and create the life I had always wanted and knew, deep down, I deserved.

It was from this work that I decided to become a Parent coach myself.

I am passionate about how conscious parenting, rooted in positive communication strategies, affects not only the family relationships but the future life of the children.

It’s my purpose to give light to parents just like you, who feel lost, lonely and helpless, move forward and create the happy homes and connected relationships with your children you deserve.

My calm, connected parenting approach supports parents by giving them the power and tools to work from the ground up, setting the foundations for a cleaner, more collaborative style of communication, where the parent recognises they are the teacher and the student all at once.  I truly believe that if we approach parenting consciously of who we are and how we are – as parents and individuals – we can transform the way our parent/child relationships work for the better.

When we do this, we give the best life chances we can to our children.

We are modelling that they have a safe, secure space to be themselves in, a safe space to grow from and to come back to.  A space that produces young adults who know innately that they are seen, heard and worthy just as they are.
