“From having no blueprint to follow, this course has enabled me to develop the confidence to believe in myself, knowing that what I’m now practicing is helping my children to develop their emotional needs rather than hinder or silence them. It’s allowed me to mother them as individuals and educated me to learn how to support them and allow all of their feelings and thoughts to be heard. All of this, whilst recognising and empathising, that this is hard.
Caroline, thank you. This course has been really invaluable and incredibly insightful. It has changed not only how I mother but also helped to restore my own trust in myself as a mother, wife and for ‘me’. Above all I would love my children to grow up, knowing they’ve been heard and listened to and respected for being themselves. This course has shown me how to support and encourage this. I found you very patient, full of support, nurture, encouragement and knowledge.”

“Caroline not only has a wealth of knowledge about conscious parenting, mindfulness and the neuroscience behind these approaches, she is also a complete natural at distilling it all into simple, manageable tools and techniques. She creates a completely safe and comfortable environment for us to share our own thoughts and experiences without any judgement whatsoever. I came away from each session feeling inspired to be a more conscious parent, recognising my own triggers and also trying to understand the needs behind the challenging behaviour of my boys.”

“I really appreciated bringing together the practice of mindfulness and parenting, and I felt that I came away from the course much calmer, more informed and energised to take on the challenges of parenting (made particularly difficult due to lockdown). I can see the effect of adopting new ways of connecting and communicating almost immediately – I feel I have had much better conversations with all three of my kids in the weeks following the course, and I have learned a lot about them which I would not have without the learnings from the course. I feel I have a lot more to learn and to practice, but the course has given me more confidence and a feeling of accomplishment even from the baby steps I have taken so far. Thanks a million Caroline for the warm and personal approach, and the generosity of your time.”

“The clear structure of the course was fantastic. I felt the content shared was really well written and presented. While I have had some exposure to some of these similar themes before, the way you presented it made it really accessible and front of mind. I find myself thinking of things from the course in the moment when I am with my kids which is fantastic.”

“As soon as I spoke to Caroline, I felt I had someone on my side and I knew immediately that I was in safe hands. Getting support from Caroline gave me the permission and confidence I needed to try something new. She had lots of useful advice which has improved things enormously.
Caroline is really respectful of how you work as a parent and family and adapts her advice accordingly. It’s absolutely huge what a difference this has made to my life and I am so grateful to Caroline for her rock solid belief in us and help every step of the way.”

“I had three 1:1 sessions with Caroline via WhatsApp video calling. I have 2 children aged 7 and 4. Caroline gave me advice around food/eating, sleep and communication.
Caroline gave me some great advice and was an emotional support for when putting her tips into practice. Another thing Caroline was supporting me with was ditching the ‘mummy guilt’. This might be something that I’m still working on and the kind and knowledgable words Caroline gave me will stay with me. Thank you.”

“I came to Caroline when my little girl was 14 months and I was at my wits end from her not sleeping. Sleep deprivation really is a form of torture, and I was so exhausted that it was starting to impact every aspect of my life. Caroline’s approach to sleep training is not prescriptive, but tailored and takes into account your needs, desires and parenting philosophy. She listens carefully to your issues and then together you craft a plan that feels appropriate to your situation. She is very intuitive with babies (and parents!) and clearly very experienced, having gone through almost every sleep problem herself with her four children. We implemented a plan for my daughter’s sleep problems, and Caroline was supportive through each step of the process being in daily contact and providing useful guidance.
Aside from the practical elements of the plan, she also provided coaching support to me as we went through the process. This is an important element, and I believe what differentiates her from many others. She anticipated the thoughts, feelings and emotions that I might experience, and empowered me throughout the process in a loving and conscious way. I am happy to report that the result was successful and my little girl now sleeps through 11-12 hours per night. I can’t thank Caroline enough and highly recommend her services.”

“For me it was an opportunity to learn some new things – eg the brain development, be reminded of some things I know but forget – especially what happens when SNS is activated rather than the PNS. And also those workshops tend to offer a “woman’s circle” atmosphere, where everyone is a little more open about how hard parenting is. Caroline facilitated an open exchange and those little pockets of us all being in the same boat are precious.
Caroline is someone I’d definitely approach should we get into specific difficulties with our boys.”

“Thank you for last night. I loved it and I was definitely a calmer and more ‘in the moment’ Mum this morning! Very impressed.”
