Parent Coaching & Circle of Security™
Sometimes the hardest part of parenting is facing everything it brings up in you.
This work isn't about fixing yourself or your children. It's about understanding how to meet them, especially when things feel hard. And learning to meet yourself at the same time.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just unsure how to keep holding it all, you're in the right place.
You're not doing it wrong. You're just carrying more than anyone sees.
WHO I AM
I'm a specialist nurse in child and family health, a parent coach, and a Circle of Security™ facilitator with over 30 years of experience.
I'm also a mother of three boys, including premature twins. I've walked this road myself, the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the moments of wondering if you're getting it right.
That's what I bring into the room.
WHAT I OFFER
Parent Coaching 1:1
For parents who want grounded, relational support. We work at your pace, on what matters most to you, whether that's a specific challenge, a pattern you keep running into, or just a space to think out loud with someone who understands.
Available online or in person in Nelson. Sessions are 60-90 minutes, from NZD $185.
Circle of Security™ Parenting
A seven-week programme that changes the way you see your child/ren and yourself.
Circle of Security™ is grounded in decades of attachment research, but it doesn't feel like a course. It feels like finally understanding what's been happening all along. Parents consistently say it shifts not just how they parent, but how they move through all their relationships.
It's ideally designed for parents of children aged 0-6, and is available as a small group or as an intensive 1:1 programme.
What you'll come away with: a deeper understanding of your child's emotional needs, insight into how your own early experiences shape how you parent, and practical tools you'll actually be able to use, because they'll make sense to you now.
