Preach it.
We sometimes believe strong relationships come from getting it right — never fighting, never saying the wrong thing, always showing up perfectly.
But real connection grows through practice, not perfection.

When addressing an area of conflict in a relationship, we tend to go in assuming the worst of the other person. We assume they won't be receptive, we assume their motivations in hurting us were intentional or mean, we shut down and struggle to share how we are feeling or what we need to move through the disconnection. We might even think, I should already know how to do this or how to solve this!

Connection doesn’t mean never disagreeing.
It means staying 'in' the relationship while you do. Keeping curious, breathing and grounding to stay present.

It means staying connected to the ‘goodness’ of the relationship (not losing sight of the whole picture) and your partner while you get curious with the areas or moments of disconnection.

Need a little help? I have studied relationship models and have a whole swag of tools and strategies to help you feel more confident to navigate moments of connection in relationships.

Let go of perfect. Lean into practice. That’s where real intimacy begins.

We create SO MUCH PRESSURE on ourselves an each other in relationships. It can often lead to a fear of being vulnerable if we feel like we have to be perfect at relating. And there is nothing more vulnerable then imperfectly practising a new skill or way of connecting and responding to each other.

Agreeing to try new ways of being together means practice. And practice is 'the act of doing something regularly or repeatedly to improve your skill at doing it'. It is showing up and being committed to keep showing up.

I remember hearing Brene Brown saying gratitude wasn't a feeling, it was a practice, because you have to keep doing it, all the time. You don't feel gratitude, you practice it.

Repair requires practice.
Compassion requires practice.
Vulnerability requires practice.

It can sound like 'Hey, I want to try and practice being more open about how I am feeling when we ###X. I might be a little clunky at first as this is new for me, do you feel open to listening?'

Connected, meaningful relationships require practice.

Sometimes we need a guide — someone to hold space and help us reconnect.

With our self, with our relationships, with our community.

Let’s untangle the underlying emotional needs — with empathy, structure, and support.

We bring our own stuff to this parenting gig. But you don't have to do it alone.

I can help you work through whatever is driving your responses (or reactions) and give you practical advice, strategies and support to learn new ways of doing things.

I would love to work with you on better relationships with your kids.

Looking for something the kids can get stuck into this school holidays..... I can highly recommend Roxanne at Free to be Bush Play and Learning .

My kids have fabulous memories of their time exploring nature, learning outdoor skills and building their risk taking abilities!

Pop on some warm clothes and get outside 😊

We are excited to offer our first drop off bush play and skills these holidays.

Led by two qualified, experienced, and passionate educators, this special day invites your child to:
* Learn bush skills and use real tools safely
* Try fire striking and how to build and cook on a fire
* Engage in free play, with friends, among the trees
* Create potions and more at our epic water play area
* Create with nature crafts and clay
* Go sledding, build shelters, experiment with loose parts and more!

Build resilience, confidence, and connection in nature. With the guidance of our nature playworkers, the land, and a range of resources, children will have the freedom to explore and create in the bush.

Spaces are limited for this one so be sure to save your spot soon.
Please get on touch if you have any questions about this new offering x
