Holding Calm Space

Holding Calm Space Information and resources for supporting children, teens and adults who care for others with their mental health. I have worked in mental health for many years.

My focus is on mindfulness, meditation and the present moment. Classes, written material and downloads available. I am passionate about supporting parents and educators to support their young people. This page is a work in progress, and I hope to have a website up and running soon with more information and resources. I found mindfulness and meditation to be increasingly more important to me in my own work, but also in my own family life. Heart centred, compassionate mindfulness with our children is a beautiful way to make a connection with your child or student. The benefits extend out to improving concentration, attention, sleep, reducing big emotions and building connections in the developing brain. Individual and group mindfulness and meditation activities are a lovely and beneficial way to be in the present moment. I work with children and teenagers in a fun, enjoyable way which has the added benefit of giving them the life skill of self-regulating. I also work with parents, educators and teachers so they can use these skiils with their own young people - holding calm space for their young person until the young person can hold their own (with the added benefit of soaking it in ourselves on the way!). Please contact me for further information or to ask a question.

My favourite quote from ‘wild hope’. This one actually rose from a poem in ‘I wish i knew’ and was adapted to create this mental image which I know resonates and encourages everyone ‘see’ how much they really are. 🤩. If only we could truly see this. What a thing. 😍

Sometimes a dog has a stronger heart than a person. The sweetest thing ever is that. This eight-month-old puppy was saved in Brazil and is familiar with what it’s like to be a lost, stray, destitute, and dog. The dog’s name is Lana, and she recently lived in a loving household after being rescue

Quote of the Day

28/11/2022

Patience visited me
And it reminded me
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability

Peace visited me
And it reminded me
That I may remain calm through the storms of life
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me

Hope visited me
And it reminded me
That better times lay ahead
And it would always be there to guide and uplift me

Humility visited me
And it reminded me
That I may achieve it
Not by trying to shrink myself and make myself less
But by focusing on serving the world and uplifting those around me

Kindness visited me
And it reminded me
To be more gentle, forgiving and compassionate toward myself
And those surrounding me

Confidence visited me
And it reminded me
To not conceal or suppress my gifts and talents
In order to make others feel more comfortable
But to embrace what makes me me

Focus visited me
And it reminded me
That other people’s insecurities and judgements about me
Are not my problem
And I should redirect my attention
From others back to me

Freedom visited me
And it reminded me
That no one has control over my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing
But me

And love visited me
And it reminded me
That I need not search for it in others
As it lies within me.

LOVE this. "the realisty is that no-one wins a power struggle" I use many of the suggestions in this when we find ourselves starting to enter the 'battleground' with our foster son. I can only use them if my own stress levels aren't out of whack. So I meditate to balance my stress when I show up for him.
