Hi I'm Mary-Jane, the mum of a wonderful 3 year old whose existence makes me want to be a better version of myself everyday. I believe that raising ourselves and focusing on our healing is an important part of raising our children. We deserve to be happy and healthy both for ourselves and for them. When we do not prioritise our own healing we risk continuing the cycles of intergenerational trauma, and so to care for our children we must care for ourselves.  I am wholeheartedly dedicated to overcoming the mental health obstacles that can sometimes make gentle and respectful parenting harder and I'm here for anyone else who hopes to do the same.
