Mothering was meant to be blissful, nourishing and magical. I am here to teach you how to make it so.
Are you ready to take the leap?
Mothering is raw. It is blissful, excruciating, and confusing… all at once.
Maybe, like me, you yearn to be whole…
You’ve been a mother for ten days, or for ten years. It’s all you expected it to be…. And so much more.
Maybe no one told you about the despair and the confusion, the irritation and the boredom.
Maybe no one told you that there would be so little space left for you. Or that there would be no ‘you’ left to put into that space.
Are you feeling anxious? Frustrated? Are you afraid that you lack what it takes to live gloriously through this most amazing of journeys?
I am here to show you that you do have the courage, and the know-how.
Join me to find out how to live gloriously through this most amazing of journeys.

But I also hear doubts, fears, insecurities that closely reflect my own. By a stroke of luck I am also reading David Abram’s Becoming Animal. And […]
on absolute generosity
Dear fellow travellers, hunters and gatherers, dear friends, as the leaves fall in thick clumps, blanketing the forest floor, and the gentle sweetness of September is replaced by the sharp musky tanginess of doubt and decay to come… as my body emerges from a long and painful illness, gingerly, tenderly vulnerable and naked… as […]
of wild pigs and parrots
When you go hunting for truffles, who would you rather take along, a wild pig or an exotic parrot? Ah, you are a clever woman, I can tell. You would probably take the pig… Right? Or not so much? Me, I’m not a particularly clever woman, it turns out, since I recently discovered I’ve spent […]
of babies and butterflies
I was recently interviewed for a magazine article on taking it easy and resting with your baby for 40 days after giving birth. In some cultures, women who have just given birth are kept in bed for six weeks or longer, fed nourishing food, and allowed to rest while relatives take over their usual tasks. […]
embrace your limitations in June
‘I embrace my limitations’ I sleepily opened my diary and stared disbelievingly at the motto for the month. ‘I embrace my limitations’. I rubbed my eyes. Closed my diary. Opened it again. ‘I embrace my limitations,’ it repeated stubbornly. (Clearly my diary has no issue with this…). This must be a mistake. So far these […]
