Emily is a parenting mentor and women's circle facilitator
who supports families to raise emotionally intelligent and

self-aware children through conscious parenting.

 

Emily was a Primary school teacher and curriculum coordinator for 7 years, before becoming a mother to 3 beautiful wildlings. Navigating a highly sensitive child, a child who internalizes and a strong willed child, plus a pandemic catapulted her into her conscious parenting journey.

 

Over the last 9 years Emily has completed numerous online programs focusing on becoming trauma informed and strongly inspired by IFS (internal family systems, or more commonly known as parts work). 

 

Initially Emily facilitated parenting workshops where she taught a skill set, which enabled parents to ride the waves of emotions and set expectations based on neurological development, as opposed to societal and family expectations. After working with Emily parents transformed their view of children, knowing "children are not giving them a hard time, they are having a hard time". She educates families to broaden their emotional intelligence so they may decode their own and their children's emotions and thereby meet everybody's needs with more compassion and connection.

 

Through private sessions and women's circles Emily now helps parents unpack the challenging parenting moments. She guides parents to unravel their stories, emotional wounds and imprints using their parenting reactions and triggers. This leads to a personalized set of tools that supports inner healing, deep self worth, compassion and spaciousness. Doing the inner work, through conscious parenting provides our children with powerful role models to draw from as they grow and navigate their own inner worlds and life's challenges.

 

Emily's work is largely influenced by attachment theory, polyvagal theory, she's trauma informed and uses the framework from Internal Family systems to guide the reparenting process. It is through her extensive knowledge and attunement to each parent that Emily is able to support their growth and personal development, so that they may become the parent they always hoped they'd be.
