My background of working in traveling circus taught me how to be brave, physically strong and adaptable. This experience gave me the resilience I needed to rise to the challenges of the path ahead.
During the third trimester of my pregnancy I split up with my partner of ten years. This, along with my, at that point, undiagnosed mental health struggles, meant that my journey into parenting was not easy. The overwhelming love I felt for my son, however, motivated me to begin the unpicking, unraveling and rebuilding of myself so that I could parent well.
This is why I’m here, to encourage you to get comfortable with yourself so that you can be alongside your child in all of their joy and struggles. There is no such thing as perfect parenting but I hope the guidance I give you will help you to discern what really matters and where you can let go.
