Let's see... what would you like to know? 
What sums any of us up in an About Me page, really? 
I think we often get to know each other best in stories... don't you? 
So, here's a little of mine...

---

I had been living a spiritually aware life for sometime when parenting entered onto my path.
 I had been raised Christian, but studied religious studies in university to see if I could feel at home in another house. (I ended up falling into the term "mystic" aka label-less). I had dove into Self Help, Self Development. Oprah. 
I practiced meditation, the art of the law of attraction, yoga and had a pretty much ongoing conversation with Spirit to create a happy mystical life. 
I was even working on developing a television program about Spiritual Awareness for teens with the UK channel 5, (called Spirit in my Suitcase) when I met my husband in one of the most aligned, magical experiences of my life. 
​It was a sudden impulse, in September 2001,  after listening to my spiritual guides and heart, that I was led me across the ocean to England,  and into the right room at the right time. I sat beside the man of my dreams.
Within moments I went from me alone - to us together.
 and within 6 months we were expecting to multiply.

From my star gazing nights of solitude, I went to married, morning sick, to suddenly went to having a little girl.
2 months later I was pregnant again, living with my parents and broke. The girls were 10 months apart.
Not what I had expected or dreamed of a year before.
​It was the roller coaster of the lifetime, but it suddenly seemed like we were full steam ahead, and out of control.

From PARENTING ROLE to RELATIONSHIP

The first two years of our daughters’ lives was a mishmash.
(I now believe I was suffering from un-diagnosed post-partum depression for the first while.)
A bit of positive parenting in the form of a controlled, peaceful environment  in the midst of me losing my temper and freaking out if I found an example of child exploration that I thought of as bad behavior. 
 I was on edge and being someone else. Filling a ROLE of what I thought a "mother" was...
I couldn't find connection when it came to my parenting. I looked up to my star filled skies, to the moon that had guided me, and felt nothing.
It was time to change.

My husband and I started to build connection with new tools and new understanding. We wanted  universal truths to be the foundations of our home. Love, Fun, Joy, Connection. I wanted my sense of knowing back. I wanted my intuition to be my go-to.
I wanted to be unshakable connection to my spiritual guides.

Life had some crazy journeys in store for us, but we soon got back into the swing of positive living. I started to gather exercises and meditations, quick pick me ups that would get me back to a sense of connection for both myself and our children to reset the feeling of the house and ourselves. I did inspiration boards, I did children's books, I sang with them and got into nature. (a lot of what I used you can find now in my e-course Spiritual Kids)
 I went back to working with energy, shifting how the house felt with incense, singing bowls, meditation, and music.
I opened myself to solutions rather than hammering the problem.
​ Life suddenly started to work again.
 By the time we got pregnant with our boy, we'd established a happy four member team, our daughters and us.

Who they really Are...

​I'd been so stressed and overwhelmed through our daughters pregnancies, I knew I wanted a happy, connected experience with our third pregnancy. However, he was conceived at an incredibly stressful time in my life, full of family crisis and upheaval. 
I knew it had to be about focus and Spirit.
I learnt how to tap into our son's essence, to hear him, communicate with him and greet him with a recognition when he was born at our home. He told me how to trust. He reminded me to listen.
After he was born I could see life through his baby eyes and learnt so much about the universe we live in- his wonder and delight changed my world forever.
And... my first book was born with him.
The writing of Who They Really Are started the journey which is now Spiritually Aware Parenting, with its concrete methods I used to tap into my son's spirit before he was born and aligning to my Spiritual perspective. 
From there, I then started practicing deeper spiritual connection and seeing all my children as Who They Really Are... true, spiritual beings having a physical experience with me.
​

By the time our son was born, we were also homeschooling our daughters. Even though they were born so close to each other, they learnt totally differently than one another.
Life became more about listening, intuitively feeling what was their soul's calling... and about practicing a commitment to be true to myself so that I could be true to them.

My kids are all grown now. Well, pretty much. 
​The girls are teenagers. My best friends. My confidants.  You can read about a lot of our rides together in the blog.
 I will say this, I can confidently tell you that the more I am true to myself, the better our relationship thrives.
The ROLES of "parent" is gone forever. All three of our kids and my husband and I are in relationships... for life. 
Our son is heading into pre-teens at lightning speed.
​He knows energy work, he loves crystals and connects with animals. He reminds me how to laugh, to play and to cuddle. 
Our relationship delights me.
And then there's this site. My work. More than a calling the work I do here is my purpose.
I help parents find their inner compass. Their Truest Self within, so they can shine as they support their families.
To dis-empower the need to fill a ROLE and to find the relationship with their children.
I do this within my coaching, my programs, my free community... walking down the street. 
I also get to do this with my peers, I'm honored to be working with the Family Alchemists, a site dedicated to creating family transformation as well as working with positive and conscious parenting groups, Speaking at conscious living events and putting on workshops.
Having tuned into my intuitive and spiritual gifts with energy work, I am more passionate than ever to see everything as Love and light. Everyone, as LOVE and LIGHT.

I'm so glad you've found this site, my home, my heart. 
Thank you for being your wonderful self and please reach out if you would like some help to know exactly WHO that is.
