I am passionate about making life with children easier and more rewarding, and I am extremely enthusiastic about helping you to bring up happy, confident, well-balanced adults; today's children - tomorrow's future.
By introducing you to new ways of thinking about yourself and your family relationships through one to one coaching, workshops, my books and my "Parenting Made Easy Toolkits" I help you and your family to move forward and create positive change easily.
As a former teacher and Deputy Head, I studied for my teaching degree at St. Mary's College, London and I have a Diploma in Life Coaching from The Coaching Academy, the largest professional training school in Europe.
I am a qualified NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer and have been taught by Dr Richard Bandler the co-founder and creator of NLP in association with Paul McKenna Training , the largest NLP organisation in the world, working alongside John La Valle the President of the Society of NLP, Michael Neill Hollywood Life Coach and Paul McKenna himself .
My parenting courses are accredited by the ECI - Europe's Accreditation Body for Coaches and Coach Training Providers.
I am also a TFT Parenting specialist. Thought Field Therapy is the power therapy of the 21st Century and is a simple and straightforward technique for resolving parenting stress, anger and guilt. TFT provides the code for unlocking nature's healing systems and has been used most recently by Paul McKenna on Sky TV, with whom I regularly assist on his ground breaking Easy Weight Loss Seminars.
I am also on the International Register of Professional Coaches.
In addition to running one to one parent coaching sessions I am a regular speaker at events and workshops throughout the UK. I am currently working on a series of bespoke, specialist coaching programmes for Headteachers, Senior Management Teams, Governors, Class Teachers and SENCO Specialists addressing issues of stress, overwhelm and preparation for Ofsted .
My book "Raising Happy Children for Dummies" is one in the famous black and yellow series published worldwide by Wiley and is available on my resources page.
Parenting can be a frustrating, overwhelming and challenging business but it can also be a huge joy, privilege and source of inspiration.
My vision is to inspire millions, one parent at a time building confidence, positivity and harmony within families, enhancing and fine tuning, not judging, criticising or blaming.
I want to pat you on the back not point a finger at you !
My vision includes giving back to society and empowering parents with techniques and strategies that give them a wide range of tools to work with that are practical and down to earth - because kids don't come with a handbook .....! (Well, maybe they do now! )
I want to help you to be the best you can be so your children grow up to be happy, confident and well balanced parents - like a ripple in a pond making a positive difference in society over time.
I am passionate about supporting my charity "The Smile Train" helping children with a cleft palate have life changing operations easily and safely as I was blessed with a smiling nature and called "The Smiler" at school so I tithe a percentage of my income from Positive Parents= Confident Kids to this amazing charity.
Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Aren't allowed to attend school or hold a job. And face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.
The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as £150 and takes as little as 45 minutes.
Their mission is :
- To provide free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries.
- To provide free cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals.
- To work until there are no more children who need help and they have completely eradicated the problem of clefts.
I really love coaching as I am such a "people" person and I love spending time personally encouraging, championing and celebrating every parent's success either face to face or over the telephone.
I just love helping parents, like you, move from where you are now to where you want to go in your family relationships easily.
Change happens quickly but habits often take a little longer so that's why I love my 12 week Mastery Programme as I really enjoy seeing parents gain their own clarity, direction and confidence over such a short period of time.
I'd love to hear from you as life is full of colour and fun when you get together with other people so please drop me an e-mail to say hello and let me know how I can help you.
