I wish I could remember THE exact moment that I woke up and realized I was being duped, when I realized Home Education was even an option and started my incredible journey to freedom from the arbitrary social pressures of traditional schooling and parenting...

But, alas, as a home educating, ADHD (and possibly Autistic) mummy to two equally neuro-diverse firecrackers aged nearly 8 and 5, budding painter, gardener, and bird watcher (aka sitting looking at the view out of my back window-er); remembering why I just arrived in the kitchen escapes me half the time, let alone what now feels like ancient history.

All I know is that I have gone from living a life berating myself about what achievement comes next, to living the heck out of the life I have right now.

I am letting loose who I really am and what I really want, both for me and my family - harnessing my fiercely-loving mama bear energy. Slowing down. Going inwards. Finding acceptance and trusting myself. Making some seriously hard and wonderful decisions.

One of the decisions my gut was screaming at me to lean into was to become a Coach and Mentor for other mums desperate to make different choices too - determined to hold themselves - valuing their own happiness and growth, who love and cherish their own life, who achieve their own goals and set free their incredible, beautiful souls.

Women who maybe didn't even realize that the voice inside begging her to trust it is the ONLY ONE worth listening to.

The one that encourages and loves her children but deeply hopes for, but also fears that they will live a life that far exceeds the boundaries of her own.

As I started to host my own sessions as a coach within Courage & Chamomile, I started to evolve that mama bear energy into creating a soft landing for those deepest thoughts, the shadows and needs or desires that bubble away inside, hidden beneath the layers of conditioning, rules, and 'should's'.

A quiet, supportive, safe space with a roaring fire in the hearth ready to warm your bones and slowly, steadily, fill you up with its roaring force instead.

You have a fully empowered, trustworthy, and passionate woman within you, fighting to get out and make choices that will support her to fully embrace and enjoy her life. Let me help you hear her and allow her to live a life as full as you offer your children.
