I’m a teacher, hypnotherapist and parent of three.

I notice things about children most people miss.

Not because I have some magical child-reading ability. But because I’ve spent years watching children in different situations.

The child who is confident with friends but suddenly goes quiet when an adult asks them a question.

The child who seems “fine” all day and completely unravels at home.

The child who keeps asking the same question because the answer hasn’t quite made them feel safe yet.

The child who says “I don’t care” when you can clearly see that they do.

The little things matter.

Because behaviour is very often communication, and children don’t always have the words to tell us what’s going on underneath it.

That doesn’t mean we should analyse every single thing our children do.

It means we can get curious before we jump straight to:

“They’re being difficult.”

“They’re just tired.”

“They’re being dramatic.”

Sometimes there’s another story underneath the behaviour.

That’s what I’ll be sharing here.

Real-life observations, practical ideas and ways to support children with worry, anxiety, confidence, sleep and big emotions.

If you want to understand the little things your child might be showing you, follow along. ❤️

“Is it safe though?”

It honestly hadn’t occurred to me that someone might think children’s hypnotherapy wasn’t safe.

But when my friend asked me that, I realised there are probably other parents wondering exactly the same thing.

Hypnosis isn’t someone taking control of your mind.

It isn’t being forced to do something you don’t want to do.

And it isn’t something strange or scary that only happens in a therapy room.

We naturally move in and out of hypnotic states all the time. Getting completely absorbed in a film. Losing yourself in a book. Daydreaming. Driving somewhere and suddenly realising you’ve arrived without really remembering the journey.

Children are particularly good at getting lost in their imagination, stories and play, which is one of the reasons children’s hypnotherapy can be such a lovely way of helping them.

So if you’ve ever wondered what actually happens during children’s hypnotherapy, or whether hypnosis is safe for children, this one is for you.

And if you’ve got a question about children’s hypnotherapy that you’ve always wondered about but never asked…

Ask me. I’d much rather you did. 🤍

I don't remember anyone warning me that motherhood involved quite so much negotiating, repeating myself and asking questions that somehow never get answered.

And this is with three absolutely delightful children, by the way.

I think that's the thing about having three. They're all lovely. They're all completely different. And they all seem to require a completely different version of me.

So yes, I know a lot about children.

I still haven't worked out how to get them to put a wet towel on a hook to dry.

You win some, you lose some. 🤷‍♀️

If you're a parent, I'm sure you'll have your own list.

What's one thing you never expected to say quite so often?

27/08/2026

I’m a mum of 3.

A primary school teacher.

A children’s hypnotherapist.

I know A LOT about children.

And yet…

I am still absolutely winging it.

You’d think with all of that knowledge and experience, I’d have this parenting thing completely sussed by now.

I do not.

There is no manual.

No instruction booklet.

No handy little guide that says:

“Here’s what to do when your 7-year-old has decided that bedtime is an unacceptable infringement of his human rights.”

Or:

“Here’s how to convince two perfectly lovely girls that putting their clothes somewhere other than the floor is actually a good idea.”

And despite being around children pretty much ALL of the time, I still have moments where I’m thinking - Right. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing here.

So yes, I might know a lot about children.

I might understand behaviour.

I might literally be trained to help children with all sorts of things.

But when it comes to my own three?

Still winging it.

Every. Single. Day.

And honestly, I think that’s probably the reality for most of us.

We’re all just doing our best, making it up as we go along and hoping nobody notices that we don’t actually have a clue.

So if you’re also winging it…

Hi. 👋🏻

I think we’re going to get on very well.

Five free audios.
That's where I've started.

But this is actually about something much bigger for me.

I'm a mum.
I'm a primary school teacher.
And I'm a children's hypnotherapist.

And I've spent a lot of time thinking about what children actually need when life feels too much.

Not always another explanation.
Not always another worksheet.
Not always another adult asking: What's wrong?

Sometimes they need somewhere quiet to land.

A calm voice.
A few minutes.
A simple tool.
A chance to breathe.

That's why I created my first five free calming audios for children and teenagers.

But I don't want to stop at five.

I want to build a whole library of simple, accessible resources that families can dip into when they need them.

Different ages.
Different worries.
Different moments.

School anxiety.
Bedtime.
Big feelings.
Busy minds.
Confidence.
Change.

And all those little moments in between.

So these five are just the beginning.

For now, they're sitting on YouTube.
Free.

Ready whenever they're needed.

And if you'd like to see what I create next, make sure you're following me. đź’š

Because this is only the beginning.

The one thing I wish every anxious child knew:

You don't have to solve everything at once.

And actually?

I think anxious parents need to hear this too. đź’š

Because anxiety has a funny way of making everything feel urgent.

The whole day.

The whole problem.

Everything that might happen.

What if they don't cope?

What if tomorrow is awful?

What if I make the wrong decision?

What if I can't help them?

And before you know it, you're trying to solve everything at the same time.

But you don't have to.

Not today.

Not right now.

Come back to this moment.

One breath.

One moment.

One small step.

Your child can feel anxious and still move forward.

They can feel uncertain and still take the next step.

They can ask for help.

And they don't have to carry everything at once.

And neither do you.

You don't have to have all the answers.

You don't have to make the anxiety disappear.

You don't have to fix everything before bedtime.

Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is simply slow everything down and focus on what is needed right now.

That's a message I come back to again and again when creating calming resources for children and teenagers.

And it's at the heart of the five free calming audios I've created too. 🌿

So if your child or teenager needs a little calm today, there are five free audios waiting for them on YouTube.

And if you're the anxious parent sitting beside them thinking,

“I just wish I knew what to do…”

this reminder is for you too.

One breath.
One moment.
One small step.

You don't have to carry it all at once.

đź’š Save this for a difficult day.

And send it to a parent who might need the reminder too.
