Helping you unravel, navigate & most importantly, enjoy parenting.
There is a growing need for families to have easy access to useful scripts and manageable strategies, that they can implement and practice in their homes.
I work with families to co-construct a plan to help achieve a harmonious outcome for the whole family across a variety of topics such as sleep, toilet training and behaviour.
My approach draws on my Masters in Early Years Childhood Education, my 13 years of teaching in Dublin and Chicago, and my experience as a parent. I am not only here to professionalise my passion but to also get you through those wobbly days so you can find balance and enjoy parenting.

Sleep
A sleep deprived house can take its toll on a family. It’s emotionally draining and exhausting. My approach is to really listen to parents and find out what is important to them when considering strategies and ideas to support sleep in the home.
-
Toilet Training
Toilet training can be a frustrating experience for both you and your child. I view it as a partnership where parents take cues from their child and help provide tools and encouragement for the child to learn at an appropriate pace.
-
Behaviour
When it comes to behaviour, my philosophy is to intentionally address the whole child and all aspects of their being (social, emotional, physical, cognitive). As a former colleague once said, every behaviour is caused and meaningful.
Testimonials
“We found Jenny when we were in the midst of severe sleep deprivation and our 10 month old was extremely wakeful and had been since she was 4 months old. Jenny was so kind, understanding, patient and such a good listener and advice giver. She really got to know us, our routine and understood and gave us great tips and tweaks to our routine that still meant we were able to do things gently. We now get so much more sleep and are a much happier family for all round. Thank you, Jenny!”
— Rachel, Kent
“Our session with Jenny was so helpful; it allowed us to explore our differing views on how things should be handled, reflect on our own personal experiences growing up, and identify how we were handling situations and how we wanted that to change. It was reassuring to learn that what we were experiencing was not unusual, and incredibly useful to learn how the current research and thinking has changed over time and understand what current ‘best practice’ is. We walked away more aligned and whenever we feel like we are wobbling or have had a tough day we come back to the advice Jenny gave us and try to implement some of the tactics and tips she shared. ”
— Fleur and Simon, Melbourne
“As a first time mother I felt overwhelmed by advice and information on how best to parent my baby. It was therefore invaluable to spend some one to one time with Jenny who was able to give me tailored guidance from her expertise both as an early years educator and mother. Jenny provided a warm and open space to voice my concerns and provided gentle suggestions and reassurance. Her kind approach and advice has helped increased my confidence on my parenting journey.”
