There are days now I catch myself thinking, I'm actually really good at this. Usually followed by a LOL, because I know tomorrow always comes. But what is different is that it comes far less often, and when it does, I understand what's triggered it, and I know how to work through it.
That to me is empowerment, peace, and the joy of every moment of parenting. It's why I came to share this work.
My experience left me with a strong conviction that parents need far more support than our society gives. We live in a world that prioritises productivity above everything else, and the vital, deeply important work of raising children rarely gets the recognition or support it deserves.
My Training
I hold a Higher Diploma in Relationship Mentoring from University College Cork, with specialist training in the Parent–Child relationship.
My training covers Infant Mental Health, the practical use of Attachment Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology (exploring how the brain develops in relationship) and Understanding the Adolescent Brain. I am a Parents Plus ADHD Course Facilitator.
Alongside this, I am a Breathwork Facilitator and Yoga Teacher both of which inform and enrich my work, bringing a somatic, mind-body awareness dimension to how I support clients.
My Approach
My work is grounded in relational parenting, drawing on neuroscience, developmental psychology and the profound power of human connection.
The parent-child relationship is one of the most powerful forces in a child's life. It is the ground on which everything else grows.
And when that relationship is supported & parents are empowered to parent from this place. Children feel it. Families feel it.
No perfect or passive parenting. It is practical, grounded work you can use in everyday moments.
Together we get curious, about your child, what may be going on beneath the behaviour, and how change and connection can happen at the same time.
