The Zen Mommy MAP
Mindful Attachment Parenting, made easier.
A step-by-step way to work on a secure bond with your child and step out of reactive parenting. The MAP is like a GPS for parents: it shows you when to use what, for your unique family.
You are not alone
Parenting mindfully is harder than anyone expects.
You're a smart, savvy, conscious mama. You have parenting books all over the house and you've Googled your heart out. But no one tells you how challenging attachment parenting practices can be, or how to know when to use what.
I've been there. Every mother has, in some way. That's why I created Mindful Attachment Parenting, the MAP: to guide you step by step to more parenting peace, with the support and tools to do the inner work, one step at a time.
I'm on a mission to help families move beyond generational patterns that don't serve them. I've done it myself, and I've taught parents all over the world how to do it too.
The Zen Mommy MAP
Mindful Attachment Parenting, step by step.
The first step
Move into mindfulness
Come back to this breath, this room, this child. Presence is where connection starts.
The second step
Find your inner pause button
There is a space between the trigger and the reaction. That space is where you get to choose.
The third step
Cultivate your inner witness
Notice the thoughts and feelings instead of being swept away by them.
The fourth step
Stay present to stay connected
Our children mirror what we're thinking and feeling. When you come back to the present, you come back to them.
The fifth step
Self-compassion for the win-win
Meet yourself with the kindness you want your child to learn. Everyone wins.
