Hey You, I See You.
You’re the mum who’s done the inner work, read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even done the therapy. But things still feel off at home and the connection’s frayed.
You’re snapping more than you want to, carrying guilt like it’s part of the job and somewhere along the way, you stopped recognising yourself beneath all the roles.
I’m Susanne - and I help mums like you come home to yourself, so you can bring that calm, connected energy back into your family.
Why This Work Matters To Me
This isn’t just a job—it’s personal.
My own story of disconnection started early. I was the high-achieving, anxious teen who held everything together on the outside and crumbled in private. I saw what it looked like to have a mum who gave everything and left herself behind. I adored her, but I learned to do the same.
When I became a mum myself, even with all the tools and training I’d collected over the years, I still hit those moments of crying on the bathroom floor, wondering what I was doing wrong.
Turns out, it wasn’t about doing more. It was about coming back to myself. And that changed everything.
The mums I work with are wise, capable, and full of heart. They’re not starting from scratch—they’ve already been on their own healing journey. They’re often the strong one, the go-to friend, the rock of the family.
But under the surface? They’re tired, resentful and disconnected from the people they love most.
They’ve put everyone else first for years—and now, they’re wondering:
Where did I go? How do I come back to myself and stay connected to my kids?
That’s where I come in.
I’m not here to hand you a one-size-fits-all framework or make you feel like a project.
This is gentle, responsive, real-time support—tailored to the season you’re in and the family you’re raising.
In our work, you’ll:
* Rebuild emotional connection without sacrificing your sanity
* Set loving boundaries that serve you and your children
* Shift out of survival mode into something that actually feels good
* Learn simple tools to regulate your nervous system and model that to your kids
* Reclaim your identity without guilt or apology
This is about creating a home where everyone - including you - gets to feel safe, seen & supported.
Let’s make it low-demand and life-giving.
I know you’ve got a full plate. So everything I offer is built around ease, clarity, and what’s actually sustainable for you. You don’t need another parenting method. You need a space to exhale. You need someone who can hold your story without judgment, offer grounded guidance, and remind you how powerful you already are.
I’ve been in this work for 20+ years, supporting women through anxiety, trauma, boundaries, and deep reconnection - and I’ve learned this:
It’s not about fixing you. You’re not broken. It’s about remembering who you are, and gently creating the kind of family life that reflects that!
If that sounds like what you’ve been craving—it would be an honour to walk beside you
EMPOWERED parenting is about breaking free from the cycles that have ran in the background for years, creating healthier family dynamics, and setting a positive example for the next generation. And I truly believe this is how we create lasting change in the world.
WHAT I OFFER IS DIFFERENT!
It’s not a method or a checklist—it’s a nervous system-aware, real-time approach to rebuilding the emotional safety and connection in your home.
It’s not about controlling your kids or parenting perfectly. It’s about leading with calm, clear, energy & watching that ripple through your family.
Here’s why this works when other things haven’t:
- It’s responsive, not prescriptive. We work with your family dynamics, not a one-size-fits-all model.
- It’s emotionally honest. No toxic positivity or “just stay calm” here. We deal with what’s really going on under the surface.
- It’s nervous-system based. This means it works even in those overwhelming, knee-jerk moments!
And it’s built around you. Because if you’re still running on fumes and putting yourself last, no strategy in the world will stick.
You don’t need to try harder. You need support that meets you, as you are, and helps you rebuild from a place of compassion, not criticism.
If you’re a midlife mum who’s done the inner work but still feels disconnected in your own home… this is your space. Together, we create a new kind of family rhythm—one that centres emotional safety, real connection, and your own well-being without the martyrdom.
Because when you’re regulated, resourced, and rooted in yourself?
That’s when the magic happens. That’s when the yelling softens, the guilt quiets, and the bond starts to repair itself—without forcing it.
You already have the insight. You’ve done the growth. Now you just need the bridge. That’s what this work is.
Let’s start today and build the life you’ve always wanted—for yourself and your family.
What does help look like?
Think of me as your heart-centred, straight talking, action-focused guide.
I’ve been a Holistic Therapist & Coach for over 2 decades. Working with outwardly strong, independent mums bogged down in anxiety.
I've lead multiple courses in Boundaries, Confidence, Self Esteem, Anxiety Management, Communication & Regulating Your Nervous System, as well as supporting charities for women with high levels of trauma.
I don't believe anyone is a lost cause or broken and I've seen people completely turn their lives around with the simplest changes to their habits or thought patterns. They've described the lightbulb moments they've had as completely life changing and often wish they'd found these resources much sooner!
If you’ve landed here, worry’s part of your breakfast routine, with overwhelm & exhaustion as the sidekicks…
And that’s before everything else that’s expected of you.
I’ve been there and I’m here to help you.
SESSIONS TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS.
Because you and your family are unique, everything’s tailored to what’s happening in your life right now. This isn’t a cookie-cutter approach, it’s customised to give actual results.
An in-depth consultation gets to the root of what you want to change, and how you want life to look instead. Regular check-ins help you get clear what’s working for you and what isn’t.
When issues come up, that’s what we bring to the table. Always dealing with what’s relevant to you.
CONFIDENCE IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.
Saying no to a party with the in laws & saying no to drinks with the girls are two different things; aren’t they? The only constant is you wanting a night of fat pants and ice cream. I get that.
Except they’ve only become different scenarios because you’ve been selective who you let down. There’s the ‘dependable’ you and the ‘real’ you. I work with both.
Whether it’s having those awkward conversations or tackling the late-night shopping habits. You’ll know how to manage whatever life throws at you.
INSTANT & EFFORTLESS PRACTICES
We all lead busy lives, there’s no ‘how-to’ handbook, but you want easy tips and tricks that have powerful results, yeah? Starting your day feeling in control and ditching the overwhelm of motherhood.
You’ll discover strategies to add in your routine, that don’t take up hours, or require you to re-mortgage the house:
Mindful meditations, reframing thoughts, communication skills. Uncomplicated tasks that shift your mood. Giving you the energy to choose the things that really need ticking off that list each day.
BEING YOURSELF WITHOUT JUDGEMENT.
Who else has walked in your shoes and experienced your life? No-one, right? So there’s no room for comparison or expectation. There’s simply your story and your goals.
I’m not here to tell you what you should do, or what you could’ve done differently. I know you’ve had plenty of advice & tried everything already.
I’d rather you be fearless in your own skin, letting go of guilt-filled mistakes you’ve made. There’s no room for self-criticism & doubt anymore. You’ll soon see that & watch your parent/child relationships improve as a result.
