I’m a Therapist, Writer, Speaker and mother of two, dedicated to helping mothers to wake up each morning feeling energised, organised and happy. Having been a professional athlete, counsellor, nanny and working in the corporate world for many years, I have a unique take on helping parents to develop and maintain wellbeing, happiness and a career, whilst raising balanced, happy and successful children.

Research shows us very clearly that self esteem in motherhood drops significantly after your child turns 6 months of age and continues to decline when neglected. Self esteem and self confidence are closely linked. They both impact on your happiness and that of those closest to you. When your self esteem is high, you feel more secure and confident in your relationships, as a parent, at work, with friends and family.

When you boost your self esteem you feel more resilient, can manage your time better and can cope so much better with the pressures of modern life. When you truly like yourself, you don’t allow your emotions, energy levels, or stress to impact on your parenting. You provide a positive role model for self esteem and strengthen your children’s resilience to achieve their best.

If you’re experiencing low self esteem, it’s really important not to suffer in silence and try to be supermum. Give yourself permission to seek help. Start with our free resource section and sign up to our free newsletter to receive weekly confidence boosts.

From the moment your child is born he/she relies on you for survival. Therefore your child begins life being highly attuned to your emotions and behaviours. If you feel stressed or agitated, your child is likely to have trouble relaxing. However, if you feel calm and sure of yourself, your child is likely to feel secure and trusting.

We all have bad days

But.. when those bad days become weeks or even months, you can begin to reach breaking point.  That’s when it’s time to seek help and regain control. Rather than feel guilty and ashamed for feeling anything negative, give yourself permission to ask for help. Understand that you’re human and the EVERYONE needs help from time to time. Don’t push your emotions down and struggle forward. Decide you are going to become more resilient, stronger and more confident.
