You’re doing your best. But your teen won’t get out of bed, won’t talk, or lashes out at every turn. The school is calling. You’re walking on eggshells. And inside, you’re either exploding or shutting down. I see you. I was you!

Parenting my teenage daughter during her most disengaged and anxious years left me feeling helpless, reactive, and exhausted.

I was looking for answers everywhere and yet nothing seemed to help until I realised it wasn’t about fixing her. It was about me showing up differently – and it started with my calm.

That’s when everything started to shift.

You're Not Alone

Why much of the usual advice or what you have possibly been trying doesn’t work…

Most parenting tips tell you to "just stay calm", but they don’t tell you how.

Trying to force a conversation, lecture, or "fix" their mood only makes them pull away more. And pretending to be calm when you're actually fuming inside? That doesn't work either.

The key isn’t just what you say, it’s how you regulate your own emotions first, so you can guide your teen through theirs.

After our first session, I remember feeling like I could finally exhale, it gave me a safe space to pause, reflect, and start understanding the importance of looking after myself, not just as a mum, but as a whole person.
