The Kitchen Table - the place where I connect with my passion, my work, and my community.
All amongst the calm and the chaos of family life.
It's messy, it's imperfect and it's the daily realities of meeting my needs alongside my family.
Enjoy weekly stories, musings and anedotes of raising kids in emotionally attuned ways.
I’ve been sitting with some of my WHY’s lately,
Reflecting on my business, my work in the world and what it is that I offer to parents.
Why I do what I do? Why I have a deep passion to support parents?
Put simply, I want more parents to feel held, heard and seen.
I want parents to feel resourced and confident to parent in a way that feels aligned to them and their values (not someone else’s, or because a parenting book said so).
I want parents to believe in and feel the power of connection and building a solid relationship that will serve their children now; in the early years, but also into their teens and adult lives.
I want parents to invite curiosity into their lives and perhaps begin (or continue) to look at the ways in which our culture and society historically (and still to this day) views the child and parent dynamic.
I want to ignite the sparks and fire in the bellies of mammas out there desiring to raise their children in emotionally attuned ways. Leading their kids with fierce, firm loving boundaries, that doesn’t require harsh punitive discipline, threats and consequences that ultimately don’t feel good in our bodies, but instead offer a compassionate lens where parents can lead with connection and relationship at the heart.
I want to support parents through the practicalities of living and parenting this way, because I know personally how hard and emotionally heavy it can be at times.
To take the path less trodden is not for the faint hearted, and I haven’t done it alone.
I’ve gained wisdom and support from those that have paved the way before me.
I want to share tools and supports I’ve gained over the years that help with the bigness of parenting in a way that is not the ‘norm’ to which you have experienced or find yourself surrounded by.
So as simple as it sounds, to offer a place and a way of support that helps parents feel more held, heard and seen, I know the implications are truly transformative.
I hold a strong believe that if we desire to parent from this place of connection and compassion, you first need to have a felt sense of it yourself.
It may not be paid support, or committing to hours of personal development or therapy.
But it’s about finding what works for you?
Because what works for one parent may not work for the next. We are unique beings with unique imprints.
Whatever your parenting looks like, whether you feel your flowing through life at the moment or feeling a little stuck in the trenches.
This nourishing little offering I have will support you in just the right ways.
Mamma’s it’s time for some nourishment.
An evening online, via Zoom, we’ll come together with a cup of tea, or warm beverage.
Come exactly as you are; children around, babes in arms, pjs on, video on or off, journal and pen.
There is no need to share if you don’t feel called,
I will be offering some ways that I nurture and nourish myself alongside parenting and life learning with my two boys.
We’ll discuss some ways to support our nervous systems and an opportunity to explore more of what works for you.
There will be space to tune into how you are feeling on a deeper level, reflect on what is working for you at the moment and where you might benefit from some more attuned support.
I’ve made this offering FREE, but you do have to register, you can do that here.
I honour and cherish your time away from your family, and appreciate all it takes to make connecting in this way possible.
If you have any mamma friends that you think would benefit from some nourishment, please feel free to pass this on.
The more mammas we can nourish, the more families and children will thrive and flourish.
I wonder if any of these cards speak to you and your heart today?
Perhaps you have a few minutes to sit with what comes up for you in relation to those words.
Connection - not only with your child but connection to self. This has been one of the greatest pieces I have adopted in my life, after spending many years feeling disconnected, coming back to myself has not only served me but enabled my whole family to flourish.
Grounding - how can you connect in with mother earth today? Even if it’s not possible right now to get your feet on the earth, can you take a deep breath and imagine your feet deeply rooted into the earth, the cool breeze on your face. Can you bring a little nature inside with you?
Intuition - as parents and humans we all have our own unique inner knowing. However it can be tricky to tune into it when there is so much conflicting advice and information out there. It is a practice going within and connecting with your own higher wisdom, but the more you allow time and space for this the more you will be able to tune out the external noise and please know that you really do know best.
Much love from me to you xxx
