Sound familiar?

  • You know the parent you want to be. Then the day gets loud.
  • You snap, feel awful, then go over it again at night.
  • You have read the tips. They work when you are calm. You are not calm.

Nothing is wrong with you.

When we are tired and stretched thin, the thinking part of the brain is the first to go quiet. Tips cannot help while your body is in the middle of a storm.

That is why this course starts with you. On a plane, you put your own oxygen mask on first. Parenting works the same way. You learn to settle your own body, and then you bring that calm to your child.

What you'll get

Simple tools you can use on a hard day

  • Video lessons with meI talk you through each step on screen, so it feels like I am sitting beside you.
  • Tools to reset your nervous systemAnd to spot your early trigger cues, before things boil over.
  • Simple brain scienceTo understand your child's behaviour, and your own.
  • Word-for-word scriptsFor holding a boundary calmly and kindly.
  • Help when others don't see it your wayLike your partner, or your own mother.
  • Bedtime as a moment to connectA gentle lesson on using the end of the day to feel close again.
  • A workbook with pages for every lessonFill in as much as you like. The weekly check-in is the one that builds your Calm Plan.
  • Your own Calm PlanBuilt step by step across the four weeks. More on that below.
Your Calm Plan

Finish with a plan that is yours

Over four weeks you build your own Calm Plan. It is one simple page, made from your own words and your own tools, that you can keep where you will see it.

It fills in week by week, as you learn each step. By the end of week four, you have a plan for the hard moments that fits your child and your life.

Who is it for?

This course is for conscious mothers who want to respond with intention, even when life feels messy. It's especially helpful if you're feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in reactive patterns, and want grounded, simple, sustainable tools backed by warmth and science. This is the Soul and Science of Mothering.

Who am I?

I am Jannie. I am a mindful mothering mentor, a hypnotherapist, and SleepTalk for Children consultant, with a background in behavioural physiology. I am also a private midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I love supporting mothers and their families, both in those very early days "in the trenches", and as their children grow and the parenting challenges intensify. I am on a mission to help other mums feel calm, confident, and connected, even when parenting feels chaotic. With my interest in nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and breathwork, I help women shift old patterns, understand their triggers, and show up with presence.
