Inadequate. I think that’s the best word to describe how I felt in the early years of Motherhood. I felt like I had taken a job that I was not qualified to do.  Like I had signed a contract, so I showed up every day and tried my best. And every day I felt inadequate. Every day I felt like I was failing. Oh I bought the books and  followed the parenting experts.  I understood the concept of gentle parenting and would have loved to implement it. I recognized the need for self care. But in reality these approaches felt...

In May 2018 YouTube randomly guided me to an audio book by Gabby Bernstein. I had never heard of Gabby, or her book entitled The Universe has Your Back. It just started in autoplay as I was out for a walk. I ended up walking for 2 hours because I was hanging on every word. At that time, I had just returned to full time work as a Primary School Teacher, following maternity leave. I found it really difficult going back. I had just had the happiest year of my life, at home with my little boy, and I didn’t want...

When I first became a mum over 16 years ago, I thought I was the only one who struggled. All my friends seemed to take to it like a duck to water but I felt very much out of my depth. Over the years I’ve seen more and more people talking about how hard Motherhood can be.

I fully accept...

Energetic alignment is not a destination. It’s a way of being. It’s the process of tuning into our multi-dimensional selves, witnessing our pain, expanding our perception, releasing our blockages and connecting with our inner guidance. It is an ongoing process to align all parts of ourselves. As a mum living in alignment, you parent in an energy of trust. You understand the natural ebbs and flows, and you honour and feel your emotion. When you experience difficult emotions, you allow yourself to fully feel and express them so you can set them free. When your children experience difficult emotions, you...

An Aligned Motherhood begins with an Empowered Birth. Here are 6 truths worth knowing if you are aiming for an empowered birthing experience and a beautiful start to your motherhood journey Truth #1 Your birth experience matters I remember with my first and second babies, my attitude to birth was “It’s just something horrible I have to go through to get my baby. It’ll be over in 24 hours”. I did not consider the long term effects on me or my baby. I want you to know that your birth experience does matter. You and your baby are the only...

Mother’s intuition is very real and it’s here to guide us ….but why do we find it so hard to trust it? Intuition is a natural ability in everyone. It’s a knowing that isn’t logical. Most of us have been brought up to use our minds when making decisions. For many of us decisions were made for us throughout our childhood – what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, when to sleep, how much to sleep etc We were literally taught to ignore our body’s communication system and hand the decision making to someone outside of ourselves....
