ARE YOU READY TO EXPLORE A NEW WAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO LIVE, LEARN AND THRIVE?

Hi and welcome!

 

I am a mindfulness teacher and mother of three wonderful young people. I work with parents to help them create a space in which they and their children can live, learn and thrive together. I use mindfulness and self-compassion tools to help parents hold a trusting and compassionate space for their children, whilst also holding themselves with curiosity and self-compassion. I am particularly passionate about how we can hold space for our neurodivergent children in a way that they are able to accept and live into their full selves. 

Whether you are already unschooling or whether you are just curious as to what it's all about, I hope you find something in these pages to help you. As you'll see, unschooling is about so much more than learning (although that is certainly a big part of it all).

What is unschooling?

 

Unschooling is all about trusting in our children's innate ability to learn and respecting and supporting their unique way of being, their passions, choices  and values.

Why do we need to deschool?

 

Most of us have a lot of fear and deep conditioning around children, learning and parenting. These fears can prevent our children, and ourselves from really thriving. 

How does mindfulness help?

 

Deschooling is hard work! Mindfulness gives us the tools to support us as we delve deep into places that can be challenging. And, it helps us stay compassionate to ourselves.

 

NEW WEBINAR

Parenting in turbulent times: helping your child with aggressive behaviour

with Dr. Naomi Fisher and Esther Jones   

May 2nd, 12 noon (UK time)
 

I'm delighted to be offering this much-needed webinar with Dr Naomi Fisher, author of Changing Our Minds. Aggressive and violent behaviour in children can be incredibly difficult for parents to deal with and lead to feelings of deep shame and a sense of failure. Much mainstream parenting advice exacerbates the issue by seeing the aggression through a lens of bad behaviour, rather than genuinely addressing whatever the likely cause of distress is to the child. If we can shift this paradigm, even the hardest times open up new possibilities for connection and deeper understanding. The webinar is suitable for parents of children aged from 4-12.

These practical webinars are filled with tips and ideas that you can incorporate straight away in your daily life. They'll help you understand how to help your children thrive and learn, and give you tools to help you work through with all the challenges (because you deserve to thrive too!).

3. Mindful tools for deschooling 

Every two weeks, I chat with an unschooling parent about their experiences of learning beyond school. Together, we deep dive into all the topics that typically come up when we leave the school environment, from how children learn, to meeting the needs of our neurodivergent children, to  dealing with our own deep conditioning.

"I felt like your workshop gave a lot of permission for us to trust in ourselves, just as we are learning to trust that our children can trust themselves. There’s so much freedom when we can let go of trying to control how we think things ‘should/could’ go."
