COMING HOME is a community that’s all about finding the confidence, support and validation you need to shake off the shoulds and should-nots of the deafening world of parenting advice.
Built on a foundation of connection, inside the membership you will find those who are just like you: the deep thinkers, reflective souls and the rebel-hearted.
It’s not gonna be the tidal wave of info that makes you overthink your parenting - because I’m guessing you’re already doing enough of that!
We are going to get critical, get salty, and get informed. But most of all we are gonna do it together because together is the way we make change.
And oh, imagine the change!
“I so wish I could tell every mum out there about your membership, it has honestly become my little haven in the social media shit storm, Mums asking for solidarity and getting it without unsolicited advice - TICK. Masterclasses with people I actually want to hear from - TICK. A reason to read a good book and drink a glass of wine - TICK. You’re really cultivating something special and I’m so grateful for you, your time, your passion. SO happy to be in your little squad and be here”

Welcome to the safest corner of the interweb!
Here you’ll find zero, zip, zilch pressure to sleep train, no finger pointing and definitely no shame spirals.
This is a place to seek honest support without being given every opinion under the sun which has the tendency to leave you wondering whether you're Arthur or Martha.
It’s home for the mamas just like you feeling:
Isolated or finding the transition to motherhood DAMN hard.
Like you can’t speak your mind without fear of the convo turning into a barrage of unsolicited sleep training advice.
You have no idea where the hell you fit anymore; your friendships have changed, and you’re finding you can no longer be honest or edit yourself just to fit in.
There is no safe space where you can rant, decompress or share what is happening in your world, you just want to be able to say you're damn tired!!
You’re googling waaaaayyyyy too much and too often and need to reign it in for your sanity and the sanity of your family.
Does this sound achingly familiar?
Imagine finally coming home to yourself.
Coming home to your values.
Coming home to your people.
Coming home to your power.
This community has been created so you can finally find that place, find the home that resides within you.
When you join us inside Coming Home you will let go of the striving to get it all right.
You WILL let go of being the perfect mother (spoiler alert - there is no such thing!) and instead accept yourself just as you are - good enough mama!
You’ll find ease and flow in your parenting and your days will be filled with a quiet unshakeable confidence that you are doing the right thing for your family, no matter what nonsense or unasked for advice comes your way.
You will realise there is a place you belong and your people are out there. A place where people just get you, cos those people are just like you too.
Are you ready to find your place in the world?
“Coming Home is such a warm, bright and safe space. I share things in this community that I don't feel comfortable sharing elsewhere because I know that whatever I'm feeling or have to say will be received with such love, compassion and solidarity. In only a few short months I have received more practical and emotional support and guidance than I could have ever hoped for.”

Membership Portal
While it's definitely not about drowning you in information there will be a hub for you to jump in and out of.
A growing library of resources and evidence based information to get your family on track to the vision you have of parenthood. Recorded Q+A (time stamped with the questions asked so you can skip straight to the good stuff!), some with me, some with other expert guests, always for you!
Coffee Hangs
Literally just hangs. Honestly I just love these!! Think of it like a mum’s group, but WAY cooler, the one you envisaged when intricately planning your mat leave (before you truly realised what having a baby entails!).
Sometimes it gets intellectual, sometimes it dissolves into tired nonsense (that we celebrate all understanding), and every time it fosters such beautiful connections!
Monthly Q+A
We meet over Zoom at least once a month for a live Q+A. Bring all your ‘stuff’ here and we can workshop it live together - you can submit your question if you can’t make it live and it’s all uploaded and timestamped in the portal to visit when you’re ready!
Meet-Ups IRL
Our mamas are already meeting in person. We have in-person meets planned for all the major towns and cities across Australia and I am so bloody excited for these!
With current members we have most of Australia covered - so there is likely a Coming Home member/friend or two close to you so you can get to know each other in real tangible life!
There is even local threads spilt geographically to get to know the people you can hug for real a bit better!
Monthly Masterclasses
These include Yara Heary nailing it with all she knows about Maternal Anger and Rage. My good friend Sarah Ashton gave us the low down on sensory overwhelm and how to navigate this. We’ve had Monique Peters helping us to plan for postpartum. The powerhouse Alita Blanchard helped us learn how to hold space for BIG emotions. Traversing Sibling Relationships with Mandy from Raise Toddlers. A dive into your child's sensory system with OT Sarina Shiraze. Dr Kristyn Sommer breaks down sleep training and its ethics. Then me weighing in on how to repair after rupture (cos we all get there right?!?), banishing napxiety and good old toddler bedtimes….. And that list keeps on growing!
Facebook Community
Need to have a rant, ask a question, celebrate something outside of our regular virtual meet-ups -this is the place to go.
The community is VERY active, there is never a moment you will be left hanging after a share or a question the community and I will support you in any way you need. Ask questions, seek answers, celebrate and rant, we will all be here listening and seeing you just as you are. This is a place to connect with each other (and trust me the connection is 100%!).
It’s the mum’s group you long for every time your current one riffs on and on about sleep schedules, wake windows and drowsy but bloody awake.
Who’s it for:
Those of you tired of scripts, the advice and the perfect Instagram versions of Motherhood.
Those who are wanting to keep it real while also treating their children with the respect and kindness they deserve.
The Mamas who find themselves wondering “what about me!”
If you’ve always wanted to get inside my brain but struggled to afford a 1:1.
Those looking for a space to bounce ideas off people who GET IT!
Those looking to learn more about motherhood, sleep and supporting their kiddos but not to the point of total consumption - cos there is more to you than this, you’re after balance baby!!
Are you ready to come on home?

“The mamas in our Coming Home community we have is my safety net - I know I can lean on them when I don’t feel like I’ll find the answers within my own circles. So many beautiful souls there for support and solidarity when you need it, bursting with years and years of mama knowledge for you to pick up pearls of wisdom along the way from the Facebook group or Masterclasses. Or to just have the space to sit and be yourself during a casual coffee hang, when it feels like the rest of the world has forgotten you a little during workweek hours. Because of this community I’ve also met some gorgeous local mamas from my hometown too, icing on the cake!”
