Hello, I’m Ashleigh
I am a Mum to two young boys and a passionate holistic family psychologist out to transform the way we respond to kids who are having a hard time. Families thrive when they feel deeply connected with one another, when they have the skills to engage in relationships and when parents can truly model what they hope to see in their children. Rewards and punishments aren’t necessary when parental self inquiry, emotional regulation, deep connection and play become a priority. But these philosophies feel a lot easier to follow when our children are on track. It’s when children start having a hard time that parents start to question their approach. My role is to help you to understand what really matters, to connect you back to your heart and to remind you that no matter how stuck your child is, there is always a respectful path through.
Parenting is not about adhering to strict rules, but about embracing a nurturing, connected way of being where play and joy flourish.
Philosophy
I merge developmental science with deep inner work. I help parents understand child development, re-connect with themselves and as a result bring consciousness to their choices. From here, parents are empowered to know that the answers for their family are found within themselves and not an outside authority. This is truly effective parenting. My passion is working with families of stuck children to help these families find an answer that is rooted in connection and compassion for both the child and the parent.
