Services - Aware Parenting Support Circle

You’ve been told that it takes a village to raise a child. But now the kids are here and the village is not.

In fact, you’ve never felt so alone and isolated in your life. What now?​

Let's create your support circle together.

The Aware Parenting Support Circle is here to:

  • Create a community of support both on and offline for parents like you practising Aware Parenting 

  • Provide a deep, safe and connected space for sharing and listening - in this space you can express how parenting really is for you without fear of judgement. 

  • Provide Aware Parenting guidance, support and suggestions - empowering you to navigate those tricky parenting moments in the long-term and as your child/ren grow. 

 

What will this support look like?

  • Monthly Deep-Dive Zoom Sessions (Mar-Oct 2025)

    • Rich 1.5-hour zoom gatherings once a month on a Wednesday at midday (dates below)

    • A safe space to share, learn, and feel truly heard

    • Practical tools for those tricky parenting moments

    • Recordings sent after every meet, making sure you don't miss any content or discussion even if you can't make it live

  • Our Ongoing Village Support 

    • A private FB community where you can be authentic about your journey

    • Monthly Q&As where we dive into what's coming up for you

Who is it for?

  • You are caring for a child/ren mainly aged between 0-7 years old. 

  • Whether you're just dipping your toes into Aware Parenting or you've been at it for years, you're so welcome here. 

  • You want a sense of community and village-like support around you - a safe space to be authentic and honest about how parenting is for you, challenges arising, things you’re unsure about and things you want to celebrate. ALL of you is welcome. There is no right or wrong way to be or feel or parent. 

  • You want to feel deeply heard, supported and held during your parenting journey. 

  • You want some practical tools and strategies for those tricky parenting moments. 

  • Aware Parenting is perhaps different from how you were raised and you need support in reparenting yourself or navigating what comes up for you in parenting.

  • You may want to explore how your child/ren’s birth might be showing up in your parenting - for you and your little one (I offer one-on-one birth debriefing support as well).

"Kirsty is an absolute gem who took the time to really listen to my wife’s story and then to both our views. With the information gathered from us, Kirsty had a lot of knowledge to share with and such a gentle approach to helping us find the keys to achieve the goals we are so wanting for our little girls and how we raise them. We highly recommend if you needing advice and a gentle approach Kirsty is the way to go."

We also saw Kirsty for some Aware Parenting support...her values and ours were perfectly aligned and we felt and still feel so supported." - Terri, Māmā of 3​​

"...Kirsty was also incredibly helpful as we transitioned to a family of four. With her support, we felt confident to make the changes we needed. She was very thorough and attentive, taking time to listen to all of our concerns.Kirsty has a very calm presence and as a bonus, I felt nurtured myself as we chose to do a birth debrief session. Thank you Kirsty."
