🗣️ What Parents Are Saying

On Working With Me:

“Signing up was the push I needed. This work has shifted how I think, respond, and show up as a parent. I left every session with Anthi feeling more capable, energised - and like the fun, creative mum I always wanted to be.” Mother of Two, Nairobi, Kenya

"It’s hard to sum up just how grateful I am. Your non-judgmental, understanding approach made all the difference. I never felt pushed to be a ‘perfect parent’ - just supported to become a more authentic version of myself." Sally, Mother of Two, Manchester, England

“I definitely found it useful and informative. Having a space to dig deep into issues was invaluable. I also discovered how my own parenting style is connected to how I was parented. The sessions gave me many practical tips I still use today.” Mother of Two, Nairobi, Kenya

On The Shifts That Last:

“My children haven’t changed - but I have. I’m less agitated, more aware of how I approach things, and far less reactive. And when I do lose my cool, I recognise it quickly and can repair. That shift alone has made a huge difference.” Mother of Two, Nairobi, Kenya

“In recent months I have felt my relationship with both my children become stronger, less influenced by the ‘ups and downs’ of losing my temper or being reactive to their behaviour.” Jeremy, Father of Two, Nairobi, Kenya

“I realised survival mode isn’t the only way. With practical tools for managing moments in real time and strategies for a more harmonious everyday life, this work has truly transformed how I parent and live.” Mother of Two, Nairobi, Kenya
