Heart Connection Parenting's mission is to shift generational patterns of parenting to effect positive social change, so children can grow into adults who have empathy, confidence and emotional intelligence.
Do you find yourself parenting in the same way you were parented, carrying over patterns and automatic reactions that may or may not serve you and your children?
Have you tried reading parenting books only to still find yourself in a place of overwhelm and confusion in your parenting, unable to implement what you’ve read about?
And what happens when we find ourselves in the dark? What about those times of frustration and conflict? And just where is that manual that we should have received upon our children's births?
Maybe nagging, threatening and punishing are effective in the short term, but how does it feel for both you and your child, and how does it unravel your relationship with your child, let alone impact on your child's brain development?
Surely there must be a more fulfilling and fun way.
An alternative approach to parenting
The opportunity to change your family dynamics is not through modifying your children's behaviour. The way forward is to instead change our behaviour as adults, because we only really have control over ourselves.
The approach I use is mindful parenting. It’s peaceful and harmonious, and it’s fun – because you’ll also learn to connect with your child through play.
But it probably isn't the way you were raised, and it takes support and guidance to change a behaviour you’ve lived with throughout your life. That's where I come in.

All behaviour is an effort to meet needs
Essential to my perspective is that there are no 'bad' children, and everything they (or any human, for that matter) do is in an effort to get their needs met. In working with me, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of both your child's needs and your needs. This process supports you to build emotional intelligence for your child, and show them the way to confidence and self-esteem.
I can help you see the way to untangle your parenting knots, so you can be the guide and the light for your children to flourish.
Parents as role models
We parents are the heart of the home for our families. We’re the light that guides our children, and we’re their anchor.
The safe and nourishing environment that we create and protect for our children allows them the optimal place to not only grow, learn, and flourish; it also provides the opportunity for a deep and secure attachment between parent and child.
It’s our role to set the tone in our homes, and to be the most important example and role model. Our inner strength and qualities serve to teach and guide our children as we help them grow to adulthood.
My coaching will support you in this essential task. It will help you to look after yourself, and to be as well-resourced and fortified as possible to carry out your parenting role.

Your opportunity for change
This work is transformational for parents with children of any age.
It’s not therapy or counselling, but coaching that lets you discover the way forward in a process of transformation, and in a new direction. It’s about making changes that are do-able now, and planning the pathway to a new future for your family.
By committing to one hour a week of coaching, you’ll be investing in yourself, and your family, and you’ll find that your accountability and follow-through increases.
This will change the trajectory of your children’s lives, and even the family legacy that’s passed down to future generations.
By deliberately crafting the family life you desire, you’re investing in the future of your family's happiness
In making a commitment to yourself and your family to become aware of and re-set your default habits, you can make all the difference in your family's trajectory.
The value you’ll receive outweighs the costs by far – you simply cannot put a price on family harmony and happiness.
When working with me you will:
- Free yourself from your emotional triggers, and alter and soothe your own stress responses.
- Deal with feelings as they arise instead of sweeping them under the rug until they explode later and become your master.
- Learn to model for your children the qualities you wish for them to embody.
- Develop an awareness of your default patterns, and regain the sanity for yourself and your family.
- Learn how to be in an emotionally connected relationship with your children instead of using your power to dominate them.
- Nurture a sense of mutual respect with your children and gain their natural cooperation.
- Learn how to reach your children through the language of play.
- Have more fun with your parenting!

“Essential for any parent!
My work with Amy has been truly life-changing for my family dynamics and interactions. I have not only learned valuable tools and techniques, but have also made sense of my own upbringing, and how that was affecting my own parenting.
A valuable gift to have been given in this point of my parenting journey to our 3 year old. Thank you Amy...”
“I had no hesitations about working together. As a result of the parenting workshops, I have found that my awareness has increased and I’m more mindful. These classes have been helpful and insightful, and I felt held in the process. It’s been a time of reflection, exploration and change. Thank you – I have enjoyed this experience together.”
