About Me

Parenting Coach. Commercial Lawyer. Mother of Two.

My journey into this work didn’t begin with a qualification.

It began in the hardest season of my life.

When my eldest child was two years old, my mother passed away after a long battle with cancer. At the same time, I was continuing to build my legal career, carrying significant professional responsibility and raising a young child without the support network I had always imagined would be there.

I was grieving, exhausted and trying to hold everything together.

From the outside, I appeared to be coping.

On the inside, I often felt overwhelmed.

Parenting challenged me in a way nothing else ever had. It exposed parts of me that I hadn’t yet understood. I was often running on empty, reacting faster than I intended and trying to control the entire narrative of my child’s existence.

As a lawyer, I had been trained to think clearly, act decisively and remain composed under pressure.

Parenting asked something much deeper of me.

It asked me to stay present when I was triggered, stay connected when things felt difficult and to understand not just my child’s behaviour, but my own.

That curiosity led me to explore what sits beneath the surface of our hardest parenting moments: emotional triggers, inherited patterns, nervous system responses and attachment dynamics.

What I discovered changed everything.

I realised there was nothing to fix.

There was something to understand.

I began to study what sits beneath those hard moments and to question not just how I was parenting, but why I was reacting the way I was. I became curious about our inner consciousness and the patterns beneath the surface: emotional triggers, inherited conditioning, nervous system responses and attachment dynamics.

This is when I realised that there was nothing to fix, but rather something to understand.

That understanding changed everything- but not overnight, and not because my children suddenly became easier. It changed everything  because I began to see behaviour differently. I became less focused on controlling what was happening on the surface and more interested in understanding what was driving it.

I started to recognise my own triggers before they took over. I became more intentional in my responses and less reactive in my reactions. I learned that connection was not something that happened after behaviour improved-it was often the thing that made improvement possible.

As my understanding deepened, so did my relationship with my children. The home felt calmer. Conflict became easier to navigate. Repair became more natural. Most importantly, I stopped measuring myself against an impossible standard of perfection and started approaching parenting with greater awareness, compassion and confidence.

The impact was so profound that what began as a personal journey became a professional one.

I went on to train in Conscious Parenting, attachment theory, nervous system regulation and Circle of Security Parenting because I wanted to understand these principles at a deeper level and help other parents access the same shift.

Today, my work brings together both worlds: the analytical thinking and structured approach developed through years as a commercial lawyer, and the emotional insight gained through my own parenting journey and professional coaching training.

While every family is different, I have found that the challenge many parents face is remarkably similar.

They do not need more judgement.

They do not need another parenting hack.

They do not need someone to tell them they are getting it wrong.

They need a space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop a way of responding that feels aligned with the parent they want to be.

That is the work I do today.
