I have been in Danni and Joss's community for 3 years. Year after year I have been held by incredible space of women, learnt so much about not only myself and witnessed my own transformation in that time but journeyed with other like minded women. There is something so powerful about this experience and I highly encourage you to also step into this journey you will be met with the most loving of arms and hearts.

It is indescribable which effects it has on my life to - maybe for the first time- be totally accepted and receive so much love in a group. Being held as I hold my children is just magical.

The change and growth I’ve seen in myself and my children since joining Joss & Danni’s exploring motherhood and aware parenting community really is indescribable. It was the favourite part of my week: being held, supported, listened to and listening to other mothers on similar journeys through life. Being surrounded by like minded women to grow alongside really feels priceless - a community I would recommend to any mother if they want to feel loved, supported & nurtured.

It has been an incredible 2 years and I have been able to deepen my understanding of Aware Parenting and have felt really supported during my times of need, which there has been many. I want to thank everyone in the community for showing me the beauty of motherhood. My mum is a great mother but not overly womanly, and its always been hard for me to drop into that feminine side, and I think that's what I really got this year out of the community, which is a huge shift for me. Seeing all these beautiful babies born and being held in loving arms, hearing everyone's vulnerable shares. Thank you all.  Danni and Joss - you two are amazing women, you show up for us every session, in every response, you show us how to aware parent, how even experts don't always aware parent, you show us the beauty of friendship in your friendship and your advice and guidance helps keep us able to parent in the way we want, not as society has built. I know we will stay in touch, but thank you for offering this sacred space for us.

The inner work of reparenting ourselves while parenting our child/children is so big! Over the last 3 months working with Joss Goulden, I have found new depths of understanding in both myself and the nuances of Aware Parenting.

While my space was held, it felt like I was pushing up stream through emotional mud, muck and yuck to suddenly appear in crystal clear waters. The clarity I reached from being lovingly held, acknowledged with compassion is deeply remarkable. At times, it felt like my heart was hit by the powerful understanding of Joss' compassionate words. It was like a tender embrace each time I had the courage to be curious about the complexities of my life. Once experienced, my body and mind craved it.

This support from Joss has helped me to connect emotions to physical symptoms and deepen my understanding of why I act or react, the thoughts I have and the reasons feelings emerge because of my story. I feel a huge sense of relief that I'm choosing acknowledgement, compassion, love and understanding over judgement, harshness, guilt and shame.

Experiencing complete acceptance from Joss with love and compassion was heart glowing. I felt grateful for every message and validation for being the way I am. I feel seen and heard emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually with so much wisdom, clarity and love. All my feelings were welcome with tender genuine empathy and understanding.

I highly recommend working with Joss Goulden.

I’m so grateful to have received support from Joss over the past 12 months. Her experience and knowledge of Aware Parenting, divine skills in listening and various therapeutic and counselling skills she has in her tool belt felt so perfect and aligned with what support needs I had. Joss’s support has been such a gift to me as a woman and mother, and to my family, and the gift has also rippled onto other relationships in my life.

I would describe Joss’s support as compassionate, wise, loving, and genuine. The space she created allowed me to come as I am, and feel hear and accepted as I shared with her either in voice notes or in 1:1 zoom sessions.

Her monthly sessions were such a beautiful space of holding, and digging deeper together into what was coming up for me. I always felt safe in Joss’s very real and loving presence, her experience as a coach and mentor, as someone truly focused on my needs in that moment.

I was always deeply touched by Joss’s ability to listen to what was coming up for me in my voice noting. Her responses were filled with compassion, acknowledgement and acceptance of all that was alive for me in these messages. They often kept me connected to my feelings to allow more tears to fall, or gently invited me to explore deeper. I have come away having experienced such beautiful listening, I now know what it feels like to be heard lovingly, and can offer more to my children and others in my life.

I’ve moved forward in my journey with a deeper knowledge of Aware Parenting and what that looks like in my family life, as well as more ways to connect with my own feelings, identifying and clarifying my needs, and more able to show myself compassion as I travel on this journey as a mother and woman.

I really am so grateful for Joss, and for being able to receive support from her this year. It truly has been life changing for me and my family.

I don’t have the words to describe the retreat. However my whole body/being FEELS differently since experiencing Danni and Joss’s beautiful, life changing retreat. My whole body got to feel and experience a safety and true compassion, for simply showing up and this was worth and meant everything.

I now have felt in my body what it’s like to be truly seen, to be heard and to be held by other amazing like minded women. I now know what it feels like to be surrounded by community, to feel supported, to chat, laugh, cry, and rage alongside each other. To be vulnerable and be ok with not only my own vulnerability but to witness others in theirs.

Danni and Joss were able to both create and hold a safe, magical space for each and every one of us in whatever way we needed. I now know this is exactly what my body craved and needed to both feel this and witness this. It was so incredibly moving and powerful.

I am so looking forward to next one!

It’s so hard to find words and phrases beautiful and big enough to describe the retreats and the flow on in my life. In simple words it’s gratitude- for the love, care, energy, wisdom, trust and acceptance from you both, but of course it’s sooo much more than that! I really felt so seen and held throughout, and that when I needed support and space it was always being offered to me already!

The way you designed these retreats seemed to work so magically to allow me to really experience being mothered in ways that I want to offer and turn up for my children, to be held through my feelings in ways i desire to hold this space for my own children. All the conversations, sharing, reflective prompts and writing really opened my eyes and heart to see things within me and set a strong foundation for these practices in my everyday life. The spaces you set up of love, trust, compassion and acceptance have been a vital part of the amazing sisterhood that we developed during and then after the retreat. It’s all beautiful!

The weekends have been so instrumental in transforming how I understand Aware Parenting, and more importantly, how I understand and love myself, and my kids. Attending the retreats has been such an amazing gift to myself and my family and has flowed onto lots of other friendships and relationships in my life.

Thank you Joss and Danni xxx
