Warm, supportive and transformative. Relationship-based coaching and counselling for caregivers and specialised playgroups for infants and toddlers.

Coaching and counselling for individuals and families

We want the best for our children, yet parenting today can be bewildering. Most of us live within unsupportive societal structures, and we’re inundated with conflicting advice and expectations to keep all the balls in the air at once. Every child is unique, every family constellation is different and there’s no map for navigating it all.

As a coach and counsellor, I will meet you wherever you are and help you find more confidence, fulfilment, resilience, joy and ease. Together, we'll identify what you want and where you are challenged.

I believe that the quality of the connection between a child and their parents and caregivers is the foundation on which children are able to build an understanding of themselves, how they relate to others and how they are able to experience the world.

Caregiving is messy and full of variables, and perfection is never the goal. However, intention matters. I support families in their process of creating more intentional relationships with their children. I do this by listening wholeheartedly and sharing evidence-based resources. My approach is grounded in the principles of infant mental health, early childhood development and education, dance movement psychotherapy and the caregiving principles of RIE®.

By starting with our most fundamental relationships, I believe the care we give can radiate outwards. Together, we can create more conscious and connected families, homes and communities.

During one-on-one sessions, we'll meet weekly or bi-weekly. We can address specific problems, talk about your parenting experience more generally, or any combination that works for you. Video, phone, and in- person appointments are available.
I will listen wholeheartedly, ask questions that clarify a path forward and share evidence-based resources.
I’ll meet you where you are and support you and your child as you grow together.
