Side by Side Parenting
Side by Side Parenting is a 90-minute private Zoom session for one parent or both parents who want to understand what is shaping family life.
Together, we explore your child’s developmental needs, the nervous-system responses within the family, different parenting approaches, emotional triggers, past experiences and the relationship dynamics influencing the concern you bring.
This is not a rigid parenting method or a generic behaviour-management system. The session is shaped around your family, helping you understand the different parts of the picture so you can make more considered parenting decisions.
Books and educational resources are also in development, including Before Baby Arrives and Side by Side Parenting, with further work exploring infant sleep and the early years of family life.

FUTURE BOOK
Before Baby Arrives
A future guide for expectant parents preparing for the emotional, relational and developmental transition into parenthood.
Before Baby Arrives will explore how becoming parents can affect your nervous systems, relationship, expectations and sense of identity before your baby is born.
It will help parents understand early infant development, attachment, emotional safety and the changes that can emerge between partners as they prepare to care for a baby together.
The focus will not be on preparing perfectly. It will be on entering parenthood with greater awareness of your baby, yourself, each other and the family environment you are beginning to create.
