💥SLAY IT💥
PARENTS & CARERS ! YOU TOO CAN SLAY PARENTING WITH MY 6 WEEK COURSE.

It'll get you coping with your child's meltdowns that:
1. Have no (identifiable) trigger.
2. Can last for HOURS
3. Can be physically and/or psychologically demanding
4. Can set off YOUR fight/ flight response
5.Wear you down until you can cope anymore
6. Lead to you feeling numb/ burnout or resentful towards your child.

If you are suffering from burnout due to your caring role, then, I URGE YOU to do THIS carer training.

This course is in the best interests of ALL family members, so get onto it!

It's NOT just another training course.

This was developed to meet the needs of parent carers to cope with their extremely stressful lives, and to RECOVER from burnout.

It is easy to digest, easy to implement and you can start anytime. Even if you feel totally brain dead (like I did during parental burnout), this will help you!

It also encompasses physical, psychological, social & emotional health improvements that can be undertaken as a carer to sustain yourself....even if you can't get out of the house!!!

Plus you can super charge your results with an extra 1:1 consult.

💥I can also send you a receipt so you can claim back through NDIS if required💥

About me:

I am a Registered Nurse of 30+ years, certified in health coaching, cardiology, mental health, and psychosocial recovery coaching.

I have lived experience of parenting two wonderful PDAers and getting them through extremely challenging situations.

I also have lived experience of what is needed to recover from parental burnout and how you can go about implementing this.

THIS is the help you need.

This course will REDUCE YOUR WORKLOAD AND EASE YOUR STRAIN.

All you need to do is to read the email/ watch the video (10 mins each week for 6 weeks) and have a go at using the tool I share!

The tool I use in the course is based on well researched, evidence based tools that I have modified and improved to use in our particularly challenging situations.

I have many many stories of success that I can share. (These are mostly with parents of kids with Autism, including PDA, or hard to manage behaviours)

So jump on to my website and transform your ability to cope with whatever life can throw at you in your caring journey!

Let's get you coping!

Have you had your child's VITAMIN D tested? If not read this article (it's short!).

So funny that it came up on my feed TODAY when I took my eldest to the DR for their VITAMIN D results. And they were low again!

As a mum I 'knew' cos their motivation and mental health had decreased in the last few months.

They found it improved 'symptoms' and developmental outcomes, so talk to your GP about getting your child's levels tested.

And while you're there, get yours done too!

READ THIS!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

"Still My Son"

The house was filled with rare quiet, the kind S_____ had almost forgotten.

For three days, R_____ had been away at respite— And now he was back.

He stepped through the doorway, smiling. His eyes lit up as he dropped his worn Spider-Man backpack onto the floor and ran into the living room.

“Home!” he said loudly, flapping his hands in excitement. “Home, home, home!”

S______ smiled softly, arms open. “Yes, baby. You’re home.”

His carer stood at the door, giving her a quick update—“He did great overall. Some sensory stuff last night, but he bounced back.” S_______ nodded, thanked them, exchanged exhausted smiles.

Then the carer stepped out.
The back door clicked shut.
And the smile vanished from R_____’s face.

His body stiffened.

And within seconds—it began.

⸻

At first it was just pacing. Then muttering. Then the pitch of his voice changed.

“No! No! No no NO NO!”

He grabbed the side of the bookshelf and pulled it down with a crash. Books scattered across the floor. S_____ stepped toward him gently.

“R_____—it’s okay. You’re safe, you’re home now.”

But it was too late. His system had already gone red.

His face twisted, fists clenched, his breathing ragged like an animal cornered.

He turned and lunged.

⸻

The slap cracked across her cheek, knocking her backward. Her arm flew up instinctively, trying to shield her face as R______ grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled, hard. She stumbled to the floor with him on top of her—fists flying, biting, kicking—his 80kgs of muscle fueled by panic and confusion.

“R______, please! It’s okay—it’s just the change! Just the noise—the shift—you’re okay, baby, you’re safe!”

But her voice couldn’t reach him. Not through the thunder in his head.

⸻

This wasn’t the first time.

S_______ had learned how to cover bruises. She had memorized the steps of de-escalation. She had safety locks on every door, soft padding on every corner, and an emergency plan laminated in her purse.

But nothing prepares you for the moment your own child doesn’t recognize you.
Nothing prepares you for the terror in their eyes—and the violence it unleashes.

After twenty minutes, he was spent—his breathing ragged, his body trembling, curled up in her lap like a baby again.

And she held him.

Even through the scratches, even with blood drying on her skin—she held him.

Because she loved him.

Not in some cliché, inspirational quote kind of way. But in the way only a mother can love—deep in the bones, in the places where pain and devotion live side by side.

⸻

That night, after he finally fell asleep—tucked in safe under weighted blankets—S_______ sat alone in the bathroom.

She stared at herself in the mirror. Her lip was swollen. Her eye would bruise. Her ribs ached from the impact.

She cried without sound, not because she was weak—but because she was tired.

Tired of being afraid of her own son.
Tired of pretending everything was okay.
Tired of smiling politely when people said, “He doesn’t look autistic.”
Tired of teachers calling to say they “can’t handle him anymore.”
Tired of watching other children avoid him on the playground.
Tired of wondering what would happen to him when she was gone.

She didn’t hate him.
She hated that the world didn’t understand him.
She hated that he couldn’t tell her what was wrong inside his brain.
She hated how he hurt—and how he hurt her—and how alone it all felt.

But then she remembered…

The night he traced her face with his small fingers and said, “Mama’s face is soft.”
The first time he looked her in the eye and smiled.
The way he lined up his toy cars like they were sacred.
The way he clung to her shirt in every hospital waiting room.
The way he trusted her—even when his mind was at war with his body.

⸻

Autism isn’t always beautiful.

It can be terrifying.
It can break things—plates, furniture, bones, hearts.
It can make you feel invisible in a world full of people.
It can look like violence—but it’s really just fear, trapped in a body that won’t listen.

And yet, through it all—she chose to stay.

Not because she was a hero. Not because she was perfect.
But because R______ was still her son.

Even in his scariest moments.

Especially then.

⸻

“He didn’t mean to hurt me,” she whispered to the dark.

“He’s hurting too.”

And tomorrow, when he wakes up and forgets what he did,
She’ll make him pancakes shaped like hearts,
And she’ll start again.

Because love doesn’t run from the storm.
It stands in it.
Bruised, bleeding—and still loving.

You are not alone.

Big hugs.

💥 SCHOOL SHOULD NEVER LEAVE OUR CHILDREN BURNT OUT 💥

We’ve spoken to thousands of parents and carers… and the same heartbreaking story comes up again and again:
💔 Children coming home from school exhausted, overwhelmed and distressed.
💔 Children masking all day, only to melt down at home.
💔 Parents feeling powerless, watching their child break down, night after night.

This is NOT how education should feel.
And you are NOT wrong for questioning it.

There are alternatives.
There is a way forward that meets your child’s needs.

👉 Join our Head of Consultancy, Kelly Jarvis, for a powerful webinar on Education Other Than In School (EOTIS) - NEXT WEEK!
🎓 Discover how EOTIS can provide bespoke, nurturing, and trauma-responsive education that actually works for YOUR child.
