About Me

I have been working with parents and children for more than 30 years. It still feels fresh and new to me and is my ever evolving passion. I am a mum to a 25 year old young man🤍🤍🤍🤍who is amazing and who has helped me to become so much more of who I really am and to be able to help others .

As a child I felt scared in my family and often didn’t speak .I have spent much time on healing myself with lots of help and mothering from others .

From my 20’s I worked in a women’s refuge with families ,in an AIDS hospice in the family unit ,in a day centre and for many years working as a teacher in inner London estates where many of the children had very difficult lives .I realised that loving care precedes learning .I also worked in a brain injuries centre with a mum who sadly had a brain disease and in her family home .

Life then brought me work with mums and babies where the mums were unwell at around the time the babies were around two months old and wanted to see what was needed from birth for the mum and newborn .

I started to go backwards chronologically to pregnancy and early life to see what is really needed for a good enough start .

I studied a course about the first 40 days after a baby is born. It was all about the mum feeling peace and joy. This came from her receiving unconditional love and support, being nourished and building a team around her so that she can find her own way to mother which is true to herself.

In the book WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES ,Clarissa Pinkola Estes one of my greatest teachers talks about needing many mothers especially for those of us who didn’t have mothering ourselves or enough of the kind of mothering we needed .

I believe that by receiving unconditional love and having support we can be more relaxed in allowing the joys and challenges of family life.

So many times life does not go as we planned, or we imagined it would be. With nourishment 🤍🤍🤍🤍and support we can learn to love and accept all of ourselves which helps us to love and accept all of our children .

I work through my intuition and a body of knowledge that I have acquired over the last 30 years.

From starting to work in the AIDS hospice I became aware of a strong spiritual presence with me in my work .It started when I was with a mum who was dying of her AIDS and her little daughter .

I became attuned to Angelic Reiki twenty years ago and trained in Compassion Key in recent years .I find these sessions can help with family challenges and the healing of our inner child .
