About MindfulMama
The MindfulMama Approach is the foundation of everything I create.
It has been shaped by my experiences as an ADHD mum, my professional training, academic study, and an ongoing exploration of research into ADHD, emotional intelligence, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and child development.
Over the years, I found myself asking the same questions many parents ask:
Why does my child react this way?
What are they experiencing beneath the behaviour?
How can I support them without changing who they are?
The pages within this section explain who I am, the framework that guides my work, and the ideas and research that have influenced my thinking.
My aim has never been to fix children.
My aim is to help children better understand themselves, while helping the adults around them understand them too.
Whether you are here to learn more about my story, explore the MindfulMama Framework, or understand the thinking behind the approach, I hope you find something that helps you feel informed, supported, and understood.
