Parenting - Beyond the first 6 weeks

In our age of social media and mummy clubs, when we only see each others highlight reels and the pressure to keep up is overwhelming, raising children often becomes an anxiety-ridden competition rather than a joyful journey. I want to help you cut through that noise and enable you to listen to your baby and your own instincts so that you can be a confident, empowered parent!


A "traditional" model of parenting that treats every child as a blank canvass and uses punishments and rewards to try and train "correct" behaviour has been the norm for decades in our society. But increasingly modern parents are seeking a different way. A way focused on individuality, connection, and justice. Increasingly, we are looking to be authoritative, not authoritarian.


Gentle parenting is an approach with respect at its core. As a parenthood doula, I see both you and your baby as individuals with unique attributes and needs. What works for the family next door might be the worst approach for you and your baby and vice versa. I am constantly researching and learning so I can better support you, but crucially I do not see myself as the expert when we work together. You might often hear the phrase "you are the expert on your child"; I take this philosophy one step further. You are the expert on you, and your family. Your child is the expert on themselves. In my coaching work what I'm aiming to do is help you really listen your child to unlock that expertise and connect it with the information and strategies I offer to become the authoritative, informed leader of your family.


I don't need to tell you that children are constantly growing and changing, and as they do how you parent will grow and change as well. I aim to be an informed, educated source of evidence and support that you can always seek out when a new challenge arises. This might be sleep regressions, weaning, potty learning, aggressive behaviour, peer challenges - really anything! Often the real challenges we face as parents are internal. We might find ourselves exploring how you were parented, or examining what your unmet needs are, and finding strategies that help you stay calm and cool in the face of frustration. A dysregulated adult cannot regulate a child. There is no such thing as a bad kid or a bad parent, only challenges and responses that don't serve us. We will work together to navigate your current situation but also to build your confidence and competence as an independent decision maker in the long run. 


Guiding your unique little person through the world is one of the hardest, most demanding jobs many of us will ever do. But it can also be one of the most rewarding, enriching experiences of your life. You have everything you need inside yourself to be exactly the parent they need. Parenting coaching is here to help you unlock it!
