You're carrying a lot…

…and don’t have the support you need.

Parenting care-experienced children is such important work, yet can be exhausting and isolating!

From navigating your way through disconnected services, to holding that safe space for the mental and emotional needs of your child, you don’t have to go through it on your own.

As an experienced provider of coaching, reflective practice and support group services, I understand the cost caring can take on your body, mind, and inner fire.

Through Ember, I offer a space that lets you prioritise your needs.

This is a confidential, neutral space where you can vent, feel supported, join the dots and prepare for the next season of your journey with someone else who ‘gets it’.
