I’m starting with the whimsy this week:The other day my daughter’s kindergarten teacher said to me “we all loved your banana”“err…excuse me…?”I totally forgot I drew a silly face on her banana. A gesture that took me 20 seconds apparently caused great delight in the kinder class and everyone got excited about eating their fruit.“It’s […]

There’s a part of me that can’t believe I’m even writing an article on this. For me, the answer to “what is considered a traumatic birth?” is super simple. A birth is traumatic if you say it is. Yet, it’s still the question people ask me in interviews, in therapy, in emails and in the […]

Note this is my opinion and my experience, and what I think will 100% contradict other advice you read or have received – that’s the point of this blog! We need to normalize the contradictions. I simply don’t think there’s one way or a proven formula that will work for everyone. Think about the health […]

If you were a fly on the wall in my mentoring sessions, chances are you’d over hear many conversations like this: [student] So…I want to develop a course that helps couples prepare for birth. To teach people all the things they REALLY need to know about birth and postpartum. [me] Amazing. But what’s the ‘grab’? […]

Four years ago I never could have dreamed that I knew enough to teach other people how to make and sell online courses. Four years ago, today I was just an exhausted mum with a good idea that I simply couldn’t wait to create. I sat down in a cleared corner of my office, drank half a […]

I know I aim to shatter glass ceilings, but this was something else… Last Saturday, while in the middle of prepping lunch I heard a shattering sound. It sounded a lot like when the kids knock over a tower of those plastic magna tiles, so I assumed one of them dropped the basket and I […]

I think I have a poltergeist. Though it’s not the usual door-slamming, chilling-gust-of-wind type. This one likes to mess with my technology. I have a knack for asking my husband for help with something tech-related and then the second he comes over to help me, the problem magically disappears. But I swear the dishwasher wouldn’t […]

This past weekend I FINALLY got to meet up with my OG soulful strategy team. I think we talked are grazed for 5 hours straight. No one remembered to take a picture. Though I did take a picture of the platter I made. There’s a bit of Taurus/Virgo in my otherwise VERY Gemini chart somewhere […]

Mum as You Are Podcast
Mum as You are is my bite sized, unfancy and unplanned podcast. In weekly episodes of 15 minutes or less, I share a roadmap for finding your way back to self-compassion.
My Services
I specialise in clinical supervision, business mentoring & training for psychologists and mental health practitioners. I help with visibility, impostor fears & passive income.
Gemini, INFJ, & 'Rebel' Tendency Type, I break moulds (& wine glasses) often
As a psychologist + entrepreneur, I’m the ultimate business coach & mentor. I use a compassion-focussed approach to inspire all the “I wonder” questions. Like, “am I actually having any fun with my business and mothering?”, and “do I really need to hustle & push so hard?"
Get my newsletter
Rather than use social media, I make a conscious choice to send a weekly email instead. You'll get insights about mothering, perinatal mental health, stuff I'm working on & a spot of whimsy.
I love getting pen pals! Slow down, breathe & delight in my random, whimisical stories.
