"The well-being of children is inseparable from the well-being of all the critical adults in their lives" -

Dr. Stuart Shanker

Society is very good at making us feel like we should be superhuman, capable of juggling everything, having all the knowledge, wearing multiple hats and never complaining when we find things hard. Parenting has never been easy, but I honestly don’t believe it has ever been as overwhelming as it is nowadays!

"What screws us up most in life is the picture in our heads of how it is supposed to be" - Glennon Doyle

When I first became a parent over 21 years ago, we were pretty much left to it. These days, (my youngest is now 8 years old) it feels like everyone has a say in how to raise your child and the world is always watching!

It’s honestly information overload with too many opinions, demands, noise, ‘instagram life’ and constant conflicting advice. Not to mention the generational and social pressure we all carry. No wonder we are often left feeling confused and anxious!

Come and get supercharged with a Parenting Power Hour! (You deserve it)

I believe that you are born with everything that you need to care for your child within and the only “book’ that you ever need to read is through your child. They don’t call it mother’s instinct for no reason. The problem is that we have all spent so long listening to who, what and how the world wants us to be, we’ve forgotten how to trust and listen within. Parenting is a journey of learning and growing that never ends and just like us, our children will need different things at different times. In addition to this, each of our children are different, our children are not us, we are not our parents and the world is constantly changing and evolving.

Therefore parenting is never something that we can fully prepare for, or have sussed, as no two children, parents, days or moments will ever be same.

“The point of parenting is not to have all the answers before we start out but instead to figure it out on the go as our children grow. Because as they do, so will we.” - Bridgett Miller

  • You really have put the pieces of me back together!

    Thank you so much for everything! It has been amazing to be able to work with you at my own pace. You really have put the pieces of me back together! Although it has been an incredibly emotional rollercoaster working through everything, it was one I needed to ride. I can not tell you the difference you have made, especially when it comes to my relationship with my own Mum. Rebuilding this and healing all the hurt will make a huge difference going forward, through my relationship with my children. I will always be eternally grateful to you. All the best for a bright and sunny future as you say, from old me, new me and little me x

  • Jodie was understanding, non judgemental, and super helpful.

    Wow, I was lucky enough to have a solo session with Jodie last night. Jodie was understanding, non judgemental, and super helpful.

  • The power hour session was insightful and informative

    Jodie is professional and warm from the outset. I felt totally comfortable sharing my experiences and opening up. The power hour session was insightful and informative. Looking forward to the next.

  • We had a brilliant 1-1 zoom call this week where at the end of it I felt a weight had been lifted.

    Just want to say a massive thank you to Jodie, we had a brilliant 1-1 zoom call this week where at the end of it I felt a weight had been lifted. We have a road ahead of us to help our son with his emotions and anxiety due to all the lockdowns, but we feel we have the tools and info to move forward and help him the best way we can. Would highly recommend Jodie to anyone who’s little ones are struggling, thanks again Jodie x

  • Working with Jodie has honestly changed so much.

    I had a 1-1 call with Jodie recently because I was really struggling with separation anxiety from my little boy, who is 6 months old.

    My anxiety goes off the scale even when I have to go into another room even if just for a drink! We’ve been looking at putting him in his own room and I have struggled for so many reasons.

    We had 3 baby losses prior to having our baby boy and it all came flooding back. I was crying hysterically, scared that something bad would happen and that he would get taken away from me because our babies did before.

    But working with Jodie has honestly changed so much. I still have my anxiety but I’m able to see things differently and take everything one step at a time. I honestly can’t thank you enough Jodie, I never thought the day would come where I would be where I am today so thank you so much.

    Xx
