Over my 18 years experience working with families; I have specialised in child development and family support. I am also certified in addressing and supporting perinatal mental health, coaching and mindfulness, but my biggest driving force for the membership is my own lived experiences and the way I have self developed over the last 4 years.

The membership consists of

 A weekly pre recorded meditation, that will land in your email each Monday and you can do at your leisure

A weekly discussion session, which takes place on zoom on a Thursday evening at 8pm  A private Facebook group, with weekly tips and daily interaction

 A monthly 15 minute 121 check in if you would like one

 A Monthly newsletter

The weekly group discussion session is recorded so you never have to worry about missing a session, it will be accessible in the members areas on the newly developed App the next day. The Wellbeing Membership provides an online environment that you can tap into and access easily, the meditation supports you to have some down time and be present with yourself . The Private Facebook group encourages you to share insights as you go along, and build a community that will encourage you to feel connected to others but most importantly connected to yourself.  The App supports you to access all the content at your fingers and at your leisure as often as you like.  Please be aware that when I say meditation I mean a relaxed state of mind where I guide you to be completely present in the moment and enjoy some relaxation (no humming is involved).  Meditation can often be misunderstood and put people off ever exploring it. 

When I first created CC&S in 2019, I didn’t really have a long term goal or plan, I just wanted to reach out to other women, see what happened and let it grow organically following the lead of those that attend the peer support sessions. However, one of the biggest subjects talked about in group sessions is overwhelm and managing everything that comes with raising a family and being a women in modern society, and that constant feeling of being burnt out. I can totally relate to it all and it’s why I created the project in the first place, because I have experienced all of those things and just didn’t know how to manage it. I felt like I was broken, I was riddled with anxiety and I just didn’t know where to turn.
I tried all types of therapy, took medication for a number of years, but I was still in this Mindset that I needed fixing and feeling anxious was just who I was  and I just had to accept that. Here’s the good part - I reached out to a wellbeing coach and ended up working with her for the few years, I still work with her now as this is an important part of my own continuing self development and she mentors me as I deliver the understanding that she helped me with. It was truly life changing and I want everyone to know that they truly have it within themselves to live a happy and calm life and that all emotions have their place. 

I also have a very good care routine in place now and I have firm boundaries regarding my mental health. I can honestly say I am the strongest version of myself to date and I really want to guide others with the things I’ve learned and I have created a space where we can continue to learn together.
