If you’re a mother you’ll know this scenerio well…

You’re out in public with your child, you’re having a pleasant time and everyone seems to be quite happy but then… your child sees something they want: a balloon, an ice cream, another child’s toy…

They tell you they want it and you very calmly and very politely explain, “No darling not today… [those balloons aren’t for sale], [you’ve already had an ice cream], [that ball belongs to that little boy over there] etc etc”. 

There’s a moment's pause and you think: Yes! I got away with that!


But then…

Explosion! Big tears, shouting, screaming, snot everywhere, perhaps they even hit you and tell you they hate you, that “you’re the worst Mummy ever”. Ouch.

They’re now in full meltdown mode (tantrum if you’re old school) and you’re left to pick up the pieces all the while trying your best to keep your cool.

Sound familiar? 

I’ll never forget the time this happened to me. 

My son was two, we were in a garden centre full of older people and I was on crutches due to a knee injury that I had suffered just weeks before. 

My son wanted a BBQ Playset and I said no. Well… You know what happened next. 

It was horrific. 

It was loud. 

It was dangerous. 

It was triggering for me and I felt helpless. 

Helpless because I was on crutches (and couldn’t scoop him up and move us away from the beady eyes of the judging public) but also because I was stuck in freeze response. 

I ended up sitting on the floor beside him whilst he screamed and because I couldn’t walk, let alone carry him too, that’s where we stayed until the moment passed. But believe me it was horrid. I was sweating, I felt embarrassed, I felt helpless, I felt like I should know what to do - how to “fix” it, I was speaking to him through gritted teeth desperate for him to stop so that the people around me would stop staring.

Perhaps you’ve experienced something similar to this? Perhaps you responded in a similar way?

Since working somatically this agitated, embarresed, angry response from me happens waaaay less often.

I’ll be honest, it still happens this way from time to time but just like you, I’m human. 

More often than not though, I am able to take a breath, pause and respond in a way that is supportive for both my son and for me. In these moments of big emotions, I am able to give to my son a response that I was never given as a child. 

I’m able to see my son for all that they are, I’m able to see what’s at the root cause of the behaviour (usually tiredness or hunger for him) and I’m able to meet them with gentleness, love and compassion.

I am able to give my son what I was never given as a child. 

Do you… 

  • Feel like your kids have taken all your attention and you just don’t feel like yourself anymore? 

  • Often feel behind in life and feel like the person you are and the person you want to be are two different people and you just aren’t sure how to reach what you want from life?

  • Feel so exhausted and tired by the mundanity of parenting that you often find yourself reacting to your child in a way that you’re not proud of?

  • Find yourself longing for some peace and ease?

  • Find yourself daydreaming of a simpler life with less stress and pressure?

And do you want to… 

  • Give your brain and body the space to breathe so that the fog lifts and you can finally begin to put yourself first?

  • Explore what makes you happy and connect with who you really are? 

  • Start responding to your children in a gentler, more compassionate way?

  • Thrive in and begin to enjoy your role as Mother, as you raise the next generation?

    THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

    • You want to respond to your partner and children with more patience.

    • You want to have more energy at the end of the day to do the things you love. 

    • You want to put yourself at the top of your priority list.

    • You want to get in touch with who you are so that you can begin to enjoy life again.

    • You want to better manage the stress and high pressure of raising the next generation.

    • You want to raise your children in the way that you wish you had been parented.


    SO FAR…

    • Perhaps you’ve tried talking therapy, self-help books or following influencers on instagram only to find that the “tips and tricks” they’re sharing aren’t working for you.

    • Perhaps you’ve joined ‘Mum and Baby groups’ and are faced with a sea of women who all claim that motherhood is a breeze (spoiler alert: that’s not the case for the vast majority of mothers)

    • Perhaps you’ve shared with your partner that you’re feeling overwhelmed only to be met with “But your such a great mum…” and no further support.

If this resonates, then my 1:1 work is for you.

I’d love to connect with those of you who are ready to be the role model that you didn’t receive.

I want to connect with you if you are ready to give your kids and the future generations the loving childhood they need. A childhood where they are seen and valued, listened to and supported so that they grow to be happy, well-rounded individuals who lead and live in a peaceful, love-filled society. 

For this to happen, it means, you giving to you first, so that you can give to them. 

What's included:

  • 6 week block = 6 x 50 minute sessions for £360 

  • 12 week block = 12 x 50 minute sessions for £660 

There are payment plans available on both options.

Book a connection call to find out more.

I ask all clients that are interested in working with me to complete a discovery form first.

This discovery form allows for me to get to know you a little bit and to hear about what's happening for you right now before we join on a connection call. 

I do this so that we have a bit more time on a connection call to actually experience some of what a somatic therapy session looks and feels like.
