Are you feeling a bit lost since becoming a new mum? Are you feeling unsure? Struggling with breastfeeding? Wondering if your baby will ever sleep? Feeling isolated with a lack of support? Finding the transition to becoming a mum harder than you thought? I can offer you holistic postpartum coaching and counselling.

It my honor to support you in your journey of motherhood. Your mothering journey and needs guide each session.

A session can involve counselling, coaching, a focus on a certain challenge, a vent session and then brainstorm solutions, assistance in gaining connections, building confidence and be provided with evidence backed information to support your parenting needs.

If you are looking for help with baby sleep but don’t want to sleep train and instead want to protect your bond with your baby, nurture their neural development and work alongside their circadian rhythm and biology, I can support you with that.

Do you want to parent differently but are struggling to find the right support or information? Following our instincts and values can be hard when our society doesn’t seem to value these things. It’s hard to know where to get good, evidence backed information that supports attachment and healthy development. I have a passion for great research and sharing that information in an easy practical way.

Want to feel supported and confident in your parenting? Do you want to feel validated in your experience? Maybe your birth was complicated, and everything just feels hard and hasn’t gone to plan? The supports around you might not fit with what you want for yourself and your family. Or maybe, you are looking to grow in yourself and your mothering, to be the best mum possible for yourself and your family.

A coaching session 1:1 with me holds a safe space, where you can express your feelings and thoughts without judgements. We can work through common challenges just as breastfeeding, sleep, traumatic births, feeling lost and overwhelmed or isolated. All while building your confidence and feelings of empowerment in your mothering!

To best support mummas I have developed the Sacred Mumma Intergration Method.

The Sacred Mumma Integration Method is a holistic, evidence-based approach to supporting mothers as they navigate the sacred journey of motherhood. It empowers mothers to reconnect with their intuition, trust their bodies, and honour the deep bond they share with their babies. Through a blend of intuitive guidance, practical tools, and attachment-centred support, this method helps mothers integrate their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. It’s designed to help mums confidently trust themselves, avoid external pressures, and foster a deep, meaningful connection with their baby, all while honouring their unique experience as a whole woman.
