Parenting your child, reparenting yourself
You love your child deeply, yet the arguing, big emotions, and constant pressure are leaving you exhausted and doubting yourself. You notice yourself snapping, yelling, feeling guilty and not good enough and there’s no time or energy to change it.
I see you. Parenting is hard—and you don’t have to do it alone. There is a more connected and compassionate way to parent. A way that works for you, your family, builds your child’s confidence, and restores your own calm and joy. It starts with kindness, re-connection, and self-compassion—for both you and your child.
I support you in finding your own way as a parent—doing what feels right for you and your family, and feeling calm, confident, and supported along the way.
This is how you can get started:
- Book a 45min coaching session to….get to know
- Download the free guide 6 Steps to avoid a Battle – a practical, compassionate approach that honours your boundaries while helping your child grow confident and resilient.
Asking for help is a brave first step to take. I understand it is very important for you to feel safe to talk to someone and accept help. You are welcome to find out more about me and how I work to help parents.
Clare’s testimonial:
“Working with Elma has really been life-changing on how I am with the kids. I was so tired, busy and thinking “Where is the joy in this?” Since our sessions I’ve put my boundaries down and been sticking to them; No is no, instead of giving in. The workshops have given me awareness and so much understanding in my own behaviour and how it impacts the kids’ behaviour. It taught me patience, parenting through understanding and working together rather than telling them what to do, yelling and being confrontational. And it brought me much more enjoyment in being a parent, instead of feeling it to be constantly stressful, tiring and a battle of wills. Elma is very understanding and because she is a Mum herself she can relate to the challenges and issues we have in being parents. She’s not about telling you how to be a parent, but about helping you decide how you want to be as a parent for yourself. I’ve learned that I could be the parent I wanted to be and not having to be the parent I’m supposed to be. I don’t have to compare myself with other mums and try to be who they are. I can now be the Mum I want to be with my own values and this makes me so much happier as a Mum and as a person.“
