How I work

You won't see any "scripts" in my workshops or one-to-one sessions. I won't tell you what to do either. Your children know what they need from you and I will guide you and support you in discovering what that is and how to balance their needs and your needs.

Based on Montessori and mental wellbeing.

Montessori, Mum and baby, Montebebe in Bristol

As a Montessori-inspired parent coach focused on child development and neuroscience, I can offer guidance to help you observe your child, understand their development, and strengthen your bond in a neurodiversity-positive way.

Sessions will be a mix of 3 parts:

Part one: All about you!

Supporting you and giving you warmth, understanding and connection.

You can't pour from an empty cup but it's very rare that parents have anyone pouring into their cup. Self-care is amazing but sometimes what we need is for someone to hold us and see us.

Part two: All about you-at home!

I'll be guiding you in how to support Your own Nervous System

To help you become the parent you aspire to be, we'll cover:

Stress management techniques for parents
Mindfulness practices to enhance presence with your child
Self-care strategies to maintain your emotional well-being

This will include EFT, breathing exercises and vagus nerve exercises.

Part three: All about your child:

Learning about Observation and Child Development

Observing your child is a key aspect of the Montessori approach. I can show you how to:

Notice your child's interests and sensitive periods
Recognize signs of developmental milestones
Understand your child's unique learning style

Neurodiversity-Positive Approach

Our sessions will emphasize embracing neurodiversity and celebrating your child's unique traits. We'll focus on:

Recognizing and nurturing your child's strengths
Adapting the environment to support their needs
Fostering a positive self-image in your child

Strengthening Attachment

To enhance your bond with your child, we'll explore:

Creating a prepared environment that encourages exploration
Practicing responsive parenting techniques
Engaging in activities that promote connection and trust

Montessori and Neuroscience

We'll delve into how Montessori principles align with current neuroscience findings, including:

The importance of hands-on learning for brain development
How repetition and concentration build neural pathways
The role of intrinsic motivation in learning and growth
