hello, i'm sarah

Welcome To Aware Mum!

As a mother to a wonderful daughter, doula, and mentor, my intention is to empower women, and offer them guidance to their own inner healing, wisdom, and innate power.

I believe in a heart-centred approach to raising children that prioritises the mother-baby relationship, through nurturing secure attachment and authenticity.

I advocate for birthing and raising our children in alignment with our physiological needs, connected to innate wisdom and honouring the growing knowledge of attachment theory, trauma, and healing.

Through mother circles, mentoring, and education, I offer a foundation of trust, empathy and compassion to support the well-being of both mothers and babies during this transformative time.

How I can support you

  • Bonding with your baby during pregnancy.

    Preparing during pregnancy for your parenting journey.

    Unpacking your birth story, listening to all of your feelings and baby’s feelings too.

    How to support our babies to express their feelings from birth.

  • What are control patterns and how to respond and navigate them with loving presence.

    Learning how to respond to our babies' tears and tantrums as they grow.

    How we can prevent and navigate challenging behaviours.

    How to navigate our own big feelings during parenting moments and how to respond to ourselves and our children in more gentle, loving and compassionate ways.

    How our partners and loved ones can become more involved.

  • Bonding with your baby and more confidence identifying their needs.

    Identifying your own needs and how to meet both yours and your baby’s needs.

    Identifying our own needs and willingness within the breastfeeding relationship as our babies grow

    How to create a rhythm throughout the day that suits your family's needs.

    Trusting our children to stay deeply connected to their body and emotions.

  • Helping our babies become securely attached.

    Helping our babies to sleep through the night.

    How we can create more joy and ease at bedtimes.

    Creating sleeping arrangements suitable for the whole family.

“I can’t thank you enough for supporting me through this magical birth. I really had quite an unsure attitude to birthing after my last experience and you were never judgemental of my comments and always knew the right things to say. I am so, so excited I got to experience a water birth and your constant support physically and emotionally was invaluable. I truly felt comfortable with you when I was at my most vulnerable. Sarah, you have such a special aura about you, and guiding women and families through this special time is your calling.”

JESSICA

“Sarah was incredible and a perfect match for my needs and I so appreciate being matched with her! She was so calming and brought a beautiful aura to the room. And she was a perfect balance of allowing me to do what I needed to do, but also assertive in offering ideas and taking initiative! I had such a good birth experience and Sarah was a huge part of that.”

Elaine B

“It has been fascinating embarking upon this journey. Sarah share’s with me practical ways I can assist my daughter that are so simple and easy to do. Each time Sarah shares something with me, my daughter and I experience profound shifts which increases my confidence. I feel very blessed to see what Aware Parenting can look like. I am encouraged and inspired. I am so grateful for the ongoing support and sharing between us.”
