The Parenting Pause
Simple tools for a more peaceful home.
Your Journey
A 6-week online journey to nurture calm, connection and joy, one breath at a time. Self-paced learning with two online live group sessions along the way.
Do you ever feel like you are constantly juggling? Between the meals, the school runs and the endless to-do lists, the days can often feel like a blur. Before you know it, you are reacting to your children rather than truly being with them. We have all been there, and we have all felt that moment when we "flip our lids" along with our children.
The Parenting Pause is designed to help you find the "pause button" in the middle of that chaos. This is not about being a "perfect" parent (because that does not exist). It is about being more aware, more patient and more connected.
Recognise yourself here?
- Are you finding yourself reacting to your children rather than truly being with them?
- Are you snapping at bedtime and wondering where your patience went?
- Are you longing to meet yourself with the same kindness you so easily offer your children?
- Are you wanting a shared family language for the big moments, the meltdowns, the worries, the overwhelm?
- Are you wanting to give your children emotional tools to support themselves in life?
What life can start to feel like
This is not about becoming a different parent. It is about coming home to the one you already are.
By the end of our six weeks together, you will start to catch yourself before the snap, not after. You will feel the difference between reacting from a frazzled place and responding from a steady one. You will start meeting things differently.
Your child will start to name their feelings instead of only acting them out. And underneath all of it, you will be passing something on. A way of being with feelings, with yourself and with each other, that your children will carry into their own lives one day.
How It Works
This is a hybrid course, designed specifically for busy lives. You get the flexibility of self-paced learning combined with deep, personal support from me.
- 6 Weekly Modules: A mixture of bite-sized videos, guided audios and helpful PDF guides that you can access on your own time.
- Private Weekly Check-ins: Once a week, I will check in with you privately via message to see how you are getting on. It is a dedicated space for you to ask questions, share your "wins", or get extra encouragement.
- 2 Online Live Group Sessions: Dedicated time for us to come together to share insights, practice together and answer your questions.
- Personalised Tailoring: Every person who joins will receive a 15 minute one-to-one session with me over zoom at the start of the course to ensure the journey supports your specific family needs.
- Starts May 30th!
The Journey
Using a curriculum inspired by Louise Shanagher from Creative Mindfulness and Ciaran Ivanovic from Mindful Kids, we will move through two transformative phases:
- The Mindful Parent: Calm the "monkey mind," understand why we "flip our lids," and learn to be the stable "mountain" for your child.
- The Mindful Child: Practical, fun tools like "Mind Jars" and "Feeling Visitors" to help your children regulate their emotions and find their own calm.

The course has been created with busy parents in mind. The weekly content is bitesize and flexible, so you can fit it around your life rather than needing huge blocks of time. Even small moments of practice can make a difference.

Yes. The practices and tools adapt beautifully across ages. Whether your children are toddlers, in primary school, or older, the way you bring mindfulness into family life will shift, but the foundations stay the same. The core skills of staying steady, listening well and helping children name their feelings are useful at every age.

The online live sessions are encouraged because they offer support and connection, but they are not essential. Replays will be available if you cannot attend live. The replays will contain the taught part only and not the group talking session, to allow everyone to talk freely.

You will leave with practical tools to help you respond rather than react, support your child through big feelings, create more calm and connection at home and build a shared emotional language as a family.
