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.

  • Quick note to say how much your Parent Alchemy course helped me. it changed the way I see things and the way I deal with things, not only changed my relationship with my child but I feel like a different person, it completely changed my perspective in life, and for that I'll be forever grateful to you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
