Conversations over a cuppa with a mother who’s been there. Whether you’re suffering through the limitations of an anxious mind or facing the constant battle of feeling like you’re not doing enough, I’m here.
You’re told to stay at home and be with your baby. But then they tell you you’re lazy and should be working to support your family. So, you go to work. But then they say you’re neglecting your role as a mother.
It’s a never-ending cycle that you can’t win. Meanwhile, it feels like every other mother has got the balance just right. They’re doing it all, and doing it with grace and carefree confidence.
I’ve worked with hundreds of mothers, children and families through individual services and child psychology courses at the Child Psychology Institute.
And there’s one thing I can tell you now that I know will make you sigh with relief:
I’ve dedicated my life, work and education to bettering the lives of children. At the Child Psychology Institute, I help families and caregivers eliminate trauma by better navigating thoughts, feelings, beliefs, physical routines and spiritual connections.
I’ve spent decades in formal education learning and researching the link between mental health, physical health and social wellness, with a special interest in bonding and attachment. It was this education and ever-evolving passion that guided me through my darkness during early motherhood.
Instead of pinning my hopes on unproven strategies, talking myself in circles and crossing my fingers, I had the knowledge to create research-backed practices and strategies. Science told me that what we experience as mothers is normal! You are not alone. And there is a way to embrace vulnerability and get the guidance you need. That’s why I’m here–
“I could feel your commitment, passion, expertise, generosity in sharing your knowledge, and good humour throughout the 5 days…You are an inspiration”
At the Child Psychology Institute, we take a child-centred approach to everything we do.
Through our courses, community and services, we work to promote positive change in the emotional wellbeing of all children. As a mother and educator dedicated to healing trauma in children’s lives:
Self-paced, guided consultation sessions from the comfort of your home with a cuppa in hand.
We’ll work together to limit your everyday overwhelm & enable you to reconnect with yourself, your children and your family
Helping mothers worldwide overcome: stress, burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, shame, mom guilt, loss of identity, poor life balance, overall unhappiness & more.
Click ‘Book Now’ to choose your date & time. You’ll receive 2 digital consent forms (no printer needed) and a confirmation of your appointment.
Bring your cuppa and yourself (and your baby, if you need to). We’ll be chatting openly about the struggles you’re facing, your mental & physical goals, and the most effective path to achieving them.
Every mother’s first session looks different, depending on what you’re facing.
But what I can promise is 60 minutes of mindset shifts, light bulb moments and actionable advice.
After our initial meeting, it’s up to you to decide what the rest of this journey looks like.
You might be looking for a shoulder to lean on and to vent to someone who gets it (because trust me, I do). Or, you might have more complex struggles that require multiple sessions and more definitive direction.
I’m not here to tick boxes and deliver masterclasses on the ‘how-tos’ of motherhood because they don’t exist.
Your experience and struggles are unique to you, which is why these sessions are responsive to what you need now, and anything that might come up as we begin working together.
“I really enjoyed the course, you were really easy to listen to and it was broken down in a very manageable way. The resources are excellent and I look forward to putting my knowledge to work”
This time is the difference between struggling silently through a life plagued by negativity and worry, and enjoying a life of freedom and fulfilment on your terms. You’re about to take the first step towards the life you and your family deserve, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to guide you on the journey.
I created these sessions to be flexible and open to mothers with complex needs and lifestyles. Therefore, I have a 48-hour cancellation policy where you’ll receive a full refund for your session.
However, if you’re feeling anxious or vulnerable about our time together, I urge you to reach out– email me and let me know. I promise you’re not the only one who has felt this way, and I know we’ll be able to find a solution you’re comfortable with whilst providing the guidance you need.

I know what it’s like being a busy mother with multiple commitments. That’s why I designed these mothering consultations to be 60-minute virtual sessions– a short but efficient amount of time to start working towards your goals.
Babies and children are always welcome, so bring them if you need to. There are multiple evening, morning and weekend sessions available, so there will be a time that works for you.
And, I encourage you to consider why you think you can’t dedicate this time to yourself – is it because you feel overwhelmed or you’re living for others? This is something we can discuss during our time together.
I understand that finances can be a difficult subject when you’re growing your family. You might think this money could be better spent elsewhere. But, remember, this time is an investment into a happier you and the future of your family!
My educational background, personal experience, and expertise in trauma informed education means this process will work for you. Every session is customised to your needs so we can get to the root of your problems and implement the strategies and practices needed to improve these.
Yes, Motherhood Mentoring meets you where you’re at – whether that’s facing a particular problem or dealing with the daily struggles of transitioning into motherhood. I’m here to be your ear and give you advice on how best to navigate these big thoughts and feelings.
