AWARE PARENTING

TRANSFORM & ALCHEMISE YOUR PARENTING JOURNEY BY DEEPLY CONNECTING TO YOUR CHILD(REN) AND YOUR SELF

I wholeheartedly believe that Aware Parenting is a philosophy of parenting that has the potential to change the world.

I found Aware Parenting in the early years of raising my daughter, when I was searching for a more compassionate, connected way to parent. It changed my life, helping me hold space for both my child’s feelings and my own. I now support other families to experience that same healing, spaciousness, and joy. I became an Aware Parenting Instructor in early 2020 and feel so honoured to be able to share this incredible philosophy with the world.

THE HEART OF AWARE PARENTING

Aware Parenting has 3 main aspects:

  • Attachment-stye parenting

  • Non-punitive discipline (no rewards or punishments)

  • Healing from stress and trauma through crying, laughing and raging

Based on extensive research in child development, Aware Parenting questions the more mainstream views of domination or authoritarian parenting by understanding that babies and children have real feelings and need to express them in order to heal trauma and release stress in their bodies, just like any adult. It focuses on healing past traumas and hurts and being able to hold space for our children to listen to their feelings.

The Real-Life Benefits of Aware Parenting

  • Understand your child’s tears, laughter and tantrums as natural healing mechanisms.

  • Support your child to process stress, trauma, and big feelings.

  • Use play to invite more joy, cooperation, and connection into daily life.

  • Advocate for your child at school with clarity and confidence, whilst healing trauma from bullying and other school challenges.

  • Deepen your relationship with your child and with yourself.

  • Navigate all school-related stress, bullying, and overwhelm with practical tools like attachment play.

  • Create a calm, responsive home where all feelings are welcomed and everyone sleeps well!

  • Learn ways to love and appreciate the precious time with your child and create a lifelong, unbreakable bond.

The Aware Parenting journey gives us a beautiful chance to connect deeply with our children, with each other and with ourselves and our own internal being. My hope is that my offerings are enjoyable ways to learn about this incredible parenting paradigm where everyone can get their needs met, always.

MY AWARE PARENTING SUPPORT MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF

  • You’re drawn to embodying the Aware Parenting philosophy in your home.

  • You’ve only recently discovered Aware Parenting and worry it might be “too late” (it’s not!)

  • You want to stay deeply connected to your child while reparenting yourself with compassion.

  • You’re a father seeking more confidence to engage in more conscious, connected ways to parent.

  • You’re navigating separation or divorce and want to support your child through it with love and presence.

  • You’re parenting solo and looking for support that honours both you and your child’s needs.

  • You’re curious about how attachment play can help with everyday parenting challenges.

  • You’re facing difficulties within the school or daycare system and want to advocate for your child without compromising your values.

MY AWARE PARENTING JOURNEY

The Aware Parenting journey gives us a beautiful chance to connect deeply with our children, with each other and with ourselves and our own internal being. It allows each of us to be seen and heard as the individuals we are and to give and receive love to each other from a place of full spaciousness.

It is incredibly empowering to be able to stay connected to my daughter, offering Loving Limits when necessary, so I can ensure my needs as well as hers, are being met in the moment, with love. She responds in wanting to be more cooperative, caring and compassionate.

Aware Parenting really is the true heart in the middle of Domination (using power over) and Permissive (not meeting our needs as parents) styles of parenting, which always leaves one party feeling powerless.

By working to heal our younger parts at the deepest level (with the practices and processes of the Marion Method – see below), re-parenting and re-culturing ourselves to be more loving and compassionate, we in turn give more of our spaciousness and unconditional love to our children.

THE MARION METHOD

COURSES & 1-1 SUPPORT

EXPERIENCE GREATER FREEDOM, CONNECTION AND INSPIRATION IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

The Marion Method supports emotional healing, self-compassion, and living from your soul’s unique wisdom.

The Marion Method is a psychospiritual model grounded in three core elements: Love, Will, and Conversations with Life. It recognises that each of us is a unique Soul, deeply interconnected with all that is.

Through this work, we are gently guided to explore the conditioning and patterns our personality (some call this the ego) has absorbed from what Marion Rose calls the Disconnect Domination Culture (DDC), including internalised shame, guilt, and judgment.

Using the Inner Loving Presence Process, we’re invited to meet the younger parts of ourselves that emerge when we experience big feelings. By offering these parts unconditional love and reparative phrases or experiences, we can begin to heal and release old wounds. Over time, our personality becomes a more authentic and aligned expression of our Soul and we can start to truly live the life we desire, free from force, coercion, shame and judgement and full of love and connection, deeply connected to our Willingness.

IS THE MARION METHOD FOR YOU?

Working with me through the Marion Method might be a powerful fit if you're looking to:

  • Reconnect with your true “yeses” and “noes” and learn how to express them in order to deeply meet your needs.

  • Discover what you truly want from life and if you are willing to receive it!

  • Release emotional patterns and limiting conditioning created in childhood with love, compassion and empathy.

  • De-condition from fear, shame, and guilt and drop the sticks for good!

  • Communicate with Life in intuitive ways and connect with the Life force energy that we are all a part of.

  • Live from your Soul’s purpose and callings, what is it you are here to do, be and contribute?

  • Support your children in doing the same!

  • Create more authentic, connected, loving relationships.

MY JOURNEY WITH THE MARION METHOD

I was introduced to the Marion Method by my now dear friend, mentor and colleague Marion Rose in 2017. A single New Year’s Willingness Session opened the door to what would become a life-changing journey for me. That first experience sparked a deep connection to her work, particularly the Will module, which helped me start living from my own true Yeses and Noes, what Marion beautifully calls "Slug Wisdom."

Not long after, I immersed myself in a week-long program called A Week of Willingness. It was during that week that something shifted, a deeper connection to my Soul and to Life itself began unfolding.

Since then, I’ve continued this work with devotion, becoming a certified Marion Method Mentor and Teacher in 2022. The Marion Method, a psychospiritual model encompassing Love, Will, and Conversations with Life, has helped me peel back layers of conditioning from the Disconnected Domination Culture (DDC). It’s offered me tools to love and heal my younger parts (sometimes called our inner child) with deep compassion and empathy through the Inner Loving Presence Process, and it’s brought profound transformation to my life, my daughter’s life and the lives of those I support.

What I love most is how beautifully this work complements Aware Parenting. While I always clarify which modality I’m talking about, I’ve seen incredible shifts when combining both. Together, they offer a path to deep emotional healing, empowerment, and soulful connection for life.

    PALOMA STEIGER

  • Honestly no one else seems to be doing what you do. All other advice seems to nudge us down the home schooling option but our work can't support that. Loving the [SuRVIVING SCHOOL] course so much!!! Absolutely everything I needed as we start mainstream Kindy this year. Feeling wiser and more prepared already. Exactly what I needed. Amazing.

    JO, AUSTRALIA

  • I felt she was so incredibly relatable as at the time her own daughter was also in main stream schooling and I really needed someone who understood what it was like to parent using Aware parenting but not have that same support through the schooling system. Nic had so many ideas to keep that connection flowing when I wasn’t with my daughter. I couldn’t be more grateful for Nic, for her support, understanding, deep compassion, listening, and just truly getting it.

    HANNAH, MOTHER OF 4, AUSTRALIA

  • My sessions with Nicole have supported my career and stakeholders to prioritise more self care and nurturing deep compassion for ourselves and our children. Her gentle, calm and loving presence is like a warm light shining on me in our sessions. I highly recommend Nicole for everyone, she is an empowered coach.

    TEACHER & DAY CARE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, MARIA (AUSTRALIA/BRAZIL)

  • It was wonderful working with Nic, we both felt so at ease talking to her. She suggested some very practical tips that we could use to make our daughter more at ease at nursery and within a couple of weeks using these tools our daughter has been so much happier and comfortable.

    MARU, AWARE PARENTING INSTRUCTOR & PARENT (AUSTRALIA)

  • Nic's [parent alchemy] course is reassuring that we can always improve the way we educate, connect and live in a more harmonious environment listening and understanding our 3 year old daughter's feelings. Throughout the course we started to apply some of the techniques and we have already seen such great results.
