A SPACE FOR MOTHERS TO FEEL SUPPORTED, SEEN AND SOOTHED

Mothering through pandemics, times of stress, conflict in the home, high expectations that you need to be a perfect "gentle / calm / conscious" parent and then trying to support your kids with tricky behaviors, BIG feelings AND realising that you have highly sensitive nervous system - its no wonder you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and alone.

CONNECTION MATTERS

More than anything right now, we need connection. Supportive people to listen, validate and hold space for our own feelings. It’s intensely difficult to show up as a connected, regulated parent if you don’t have someone listening to you.

Alongside supportive people, most of us also need a range of daily practices to support our nervous system - to build our capacity for felt safety and self compassion so that we can offer our children connection and coregulation - especially on those hard days.

CREATING A REGULATING LIFESTYLE

Over 4 weeks of bite sized teaching, story sharing and connection, you will learn:

The basics of the Nervous System - workbook for further learning, reflection and sensory insights.
Sensory calming tools to soften your overstimulated nervous system and build safety
Self compassion - for those hard days where you feel like “the worst parent ever!”
Retrain your brain to see the good - to access more joy

Benefits of joining Glimmers:

Feel less alone in everyday motherhood
Feel connected in a supportive space
Coregulation - restorative connection with likeminded mothers
A focus on your vital role as a mother
A space to share if you wish and feel held and heard
Supportive tools to understanding and support your nervous system

QUESTIONS

I have my kids home on Wednesdays! How can this work?

- Can you prepare them with a big Sensory Snack Plate - something crunchy, chewy, tarty, sweet, cold icy drinks - and set them up with an age appropriate movie or Bluey and snuggle on the couch while you join with a semi hot cuppa? Sometimes we need to get creative to get our needs met as mothers. You can join on Mute, Video off if that's easier and just share if you have capacity.

I can't attend the calls LIVE, are they recorded?

- Yes, Calls are recorded and will be shared in a private Facebook group. You can send any questions to me prior to the call to get answered.

TESTIMONIALS / KIND WORDS

Alita is a very generous, grounded, and knowledgeable parenting coach. During the programme I felt seen, heard and understood. I learnt so much about myself, how to be with myself and my children in difficult moments and to have compassion for myself. Alita offers so much wisdom and knowledge and I loved learning with her. I feel so grateful to be able to bring what I learnt into my life with my children. It has been life changing and I continue to see shifts in myself. This continues to ripple out in many beautiful ways bringing deeper love, connection, compassion for myself, with my children and family. - Cara W

************************************

This has been the most constructive 3-week circle group I have ever been part of. Alita is highly knowledgeable - and knows what she’s talking about as she shared about her own journey of struggle, grief, guilt in motherhood. I felt beyond validated at any given time and it’s been a safe space for me. So many takeaways, useful tools that I’m able to actively use in my own journey of motherhood. Thanks Alita, you are the best. — NB

************************************

Alita - thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity with sharing your wisdom and empathy through the Soothed Mothers Circle. You are a master at holding space and I felt so supported and seen by you and the other amazing women who participated. I took so much from this experience and feel it's really just the start of my journey, but I already feel more grounded, anchored, and able to stay regulated through the daily chaos - Nicky

************************************

Soothed Mothers Circle has been so nurturing for me. I have been stuck in quite a negative place, but the vulnerability and compassion showed by Alita and all the other mothers has lifted my spirit. I wasn’t expecting such a positive outcome, but my whole mindset on my motherhood has changed. I now look for the glimmers every day, and appreciating so much more in my life. I am using tools learnt through this to help self regulate and to help my children with their big emotions. I feel I have made connections with my listening partners and am overall so grateful for this wonderful experience. Thank you Alita. — BK

Alita is a beautifully supportive space holder. Her circles were a supportive balance of information and connection and sharing. The Soothed program was nourishing and so validating of the challenging pieces of parenthood. Alita was so present and very generous with her time and resources. — Andy
