1:1 SESSIONS
Whether you need assistance with a baby that won’t sleep, a toddler that won’t cooperate, experienced a traumatic birth, or struggling as a new Mama, or parenting a child with additional needs, I can assist you in a one-on-one session. These sessions are tailored to your needs, in a safe, supportive and compassionate environment.
As a Certified Aware Parenting Instructor, these sessions focus on this parenting approach. Aware Parenting can be extremely helpful for babies who have trouble sleeping, sibling rivalry, tantrums, adjusting to life’s changes and so much more.
The sessions are directed by you, and the topics you wish to address.
Topics that can be addressed, include (but are not limited to):
Pregnancy
Birth - leading up to birth, as well as debriefs
Infancy - including sleep, crying, feeding, etc
Toddlers and Young Children - behaviour, tantrums, sibling rivalry, eating, etc
Parenting children with additional needs or medical conditions - I work with many children and their parents who have special needs. You can listen to my story as a guest on The Aware Parenting Podcast here.
Parental personal growth, including inner child work, ways to meet your own needs, parental burnout, etc
Natural learning approach to education and early learning
Testimonials
"I met Steph last year at a time in my life when my soul was searching for more depth and more growth. She is the first person I’ve met who holds space and has listening skills that reflects back what is needed. I first realised this when sharing something personal with Steph and she listened in a way that reflected back to me and pulled out of me all of what I needed. Listening is a skill most people don’t have. Steph models this skill so beautifully and I truely believe it’s one of the most valuable skills to have in life."
“I have seen a few psychologists and professionals, but none helped me more than Steph did. We had monthly sessions for 2 years, and I always felt so supported and accepted. Steph listens with so much empathy and compassion, she never judges and she respects who I am as a person. I highly recommend working with Steph.”
"My partner and I have always had trust issues as a result of neglect and abuse that we suffered as children. We have no family support and have largely raised our children by ourselves. So when the opportunity came to place our older boy into a natural learning place with Steph, we didn't hesitate, as we knew that she shared our attachment parenting principles, and patience and support that is so paramount when it comes to raising children. To make matters even harder, my boy had second degree burns only a few months prior to joining her natural learning haven. He was traumatised by the experience and Steph suggested some Aware Parenting techniques to me, which have been an absolute life saver. I will never hesitate to recommend Steph, she is the best on your parenting journey."
All Sessions are 55 minutes and conducted on Zoom

ONLINE COURSES
Can you think of the most challenging moments you have as a parent/caregiver/educator with a child? The uncooperativeness, the aggression, the overall struggle.
In those moments do you find yourself getting more and more frustrated, annoyed, overwhelmed, exhausted?
Before you know it, both you and your child are in an all-out war.
Now, I’d like you to imagine a world where that escalation of feelings didn’t exist. What if there was a way that not only could you get your child to cooperate, stop hitting, get into the car in the morning, etc, but it could be done with joy and laughter.
Let’s pause for a moment, while you visualise that beautiful scene in your mind.
What if I told you that can be your reality as a parent/caregiver/educator?
What if I also told you that a Bluey episode goes for approximately 7 minutes, and is jampacked full of play, and in that same time you can solve many different challenges your child brings to you?
The Spirited Hearts® Play Files is a compilation of the most effective, commonly used games I play with my own children and the children who have attended my Family Day Care over the past 8 years.
The Play Files are for Parents, Caregivers, Early Childhood Educators and Lower Primary School Teachers.
This is the perfect introduction to play, or some more inspiration to bringing more play into your home/service/classroom.
Are you willing to bring more connection, play and joy into your life?
