I have really loved the connections and relationships built between others in the community. I loved knowing that I could share within a safe space. I enjoyed the lives and most of all connecting monthly in the calls, listening sharing and feeling loved and supported.

Thank you both so much for the support. I have grown in motherhood but so much personally! I have been able to give myself so much love and compassion on the journey and start healing. I have felt held and nourished by all of the offerings.

I have been a part of Joss and Danni’s year long Aware Parenting Community. I was in need of a container where I could ask questions and receive ongoing support and I received just that.

Joss and Danni are like the village grandmothers and aunties, who were there in the moments I needed them most. They gave me empathy and advice acquired through years of their own studies and parenting.

I highly highly recommend joining their online community, to feel a sense of belonging, support and nourishment.

Working with Joss has been an incredible experience. When I first connected with Joss I had completed some other Aware Parenting workshop type courses but never anything 1:1 and so I had no idea what to expect. Going into it I was hoping for some support with how to connect with and support my daughter through a tricky phase; I ended up with so so much more. Joss has an incredible listening style and I have never felt more seen or accepted for my thoughts and feelings. Her ability to listen and hold space with such compassion and kindness was priceless.

I come into our sessions with parenting questions or frustrations and leave with not only practical strategies and tips on how to navigate them but always with some deep inner work or healing. Joss knows how to ask the exact right questions to reach beneath the surface (as the parent/individual) and access the real drivers of my reactions/fears/stories and then support me to connect with them, reparent my inner child or offer myself the compassion and love that has been lacking - all in a way that I could never achieve on my own. It's this work that has proved the invaluable gift of my work with Joss.

I love that even with all the wisdom Joss holds, I have never felt inadequate, not good enough etc in her presence - the way she validates the challenges or frustrations I share is incredibly healing and something I hope to be able to develop and be able to emanate with my children.

Thank you Joss for your beautiful support in my Aware Parenting journey.

How much has changed for me in the past 11 months since being part of the wonderful online community Joss and Danni have both created.

I looked back in my journal from month one and the visions I had set for myself and thought wow!! I feel like I've come quite far since, reading it made me very emotional because at the time those visions felt very out of reach. The work is ongoing but ever evolving and I'm excited to keep leaning in and doing the work.

I have grown and healed in lots of ways - it has helped my children feel heard and understood, it has given me the gentle and reassuring push in the right direction. Especially when things felt tough, I'd listen back or join an FB live, calm my mind with a guided meditation and try my best to slow down.
All this would bring an instant shift and a feeling of comfort knowing I'm doing the right thing for my children. If I have had a tough day, I would start again tomorrow, it's never too late to reconnect and it's never a set back but one step closer to doing it differently the next time.

I am approaching the days with even more compassion and listening. When I can feel I'm at capacity or losing my way I look inside and think what do I need to help myself in this moment.

I attended a workshop Joss ran last year and I immediately felt held. I later signed up to do a month of work with Joss and I am incredibly grateful I did. Joss’s knowledge is powerful, it comes from a place of her lived experience and also extensive education. With both of these super powers together, Joss made me feel safe within my body which opened my heart up to heal. I felt like I had worked through 20years of therapy in the month of work I did with Joss. She helped me peel back the layers to feel my emotions & the pain I had been pushing down for so long. The heavy weight of the emotions I had buried deep and shame that came with that, are slowly washing away. I now feel like I have the ability to sit with my children’s big emotions & pain on such a deeper level.

This has also changed the way I practice in my work with other families.

Joss you truly are a gift to the world.

Joss offers a beautiful, wide space of welcome in which every part of me can feel valued, seen and heard. I feel so incredibly held by her warm, steady presence, and words. For me, the sessions combined with voice messaging provide such a wonderful support, in which I can feel held and nurtured in my journey as a mother. Huge heartfelt thank you to you dear Joss.

When I talked to Joss for the first time I had only known about Aware parenting for about 2 weeks and previously practiced attachment parenting with lots of breastfeeding to sleep and as comfort. My son was 2,5 years old and we had been struggling with his sleep since birth with approximately 10-30 wakeups per night and the longest stretch of sleep being 2-3 hours. Only breastfeeding would resettle him and I was beyond exhausted. We needed a change and we needed it now, that's why we took help from an Aware parenting instructor basically right away, we could not afford unnecessary trial and error and really needed support.

Talking to Joss was lovely, I felt heard, understood and held, something I really missed since becoming a mother. We got practical suggestions on simple changes in our routines as well as play ideas, and the emotional support for me was invaluable. We used our initial 3 sessions within a couple of weeks and saw a MASSIVE change in our son, both in behaviour and sleep. He opened up, was happier and more cooperative, and night wakings quickly reduced to approximately 1-3 with the longest stretch of sleep being 5-7 hours. It was such a big shift I almost couldn't believe it.

I can highly recommend Joss, and I will continue to use her support for my son as well as for my own inner work, probably for many years to come.

Working with Joss is like being an alchemist's apprentice, learning from a very skilled and compassionate alchemist that has many methods of turning lead into gold. Sitting with Joss gives me the strength and greater skills to witness myself through my experience of life. I have more patience and unconditional love for my own pains and can accept that life is an unfolding process that always deserves to be met with love. She is the voice in my head when its too hard to love myself through a challenging feeling or circumstance and it guides me to return to inner love. This informs my parenting to be more authentically unconditionally loving and I have the words to use to help repair with my children in times of rupture and to accept them in times of struggle. This process translates to all of my relationships, I feel more loving and more compassionate with no effort, it is simply a growing humming inside of me. Working with Joss is keeping me on the fast track of turning my lead into gold, every apprentice needs a master and I have found that in Joss.

Thank you so much for your Aware Partnering in Parenthood course. I was hoping to do it together with my husband, but he didn’t want to join me unfortunately. I knew I needed to do something to change how things were going in our family though, so I went ahead and did the course by myself. I found that it has helped me so much to understand how I can support myself in the hard times in our family. It has really helped me to find it easier to support my children too and I can now respond to my husband in ways that mean we have fewer arguments and less fighting about parenting. Even though he didn’t do any of the course with me, I really see already less conflict between us and how much clearer I am about parenting and about why I want to keep supporting my children in this way. Thank you so much for the support and information. It has made a big difference to our family.

My partner and I have learnt about ourselves and each other and our relationship by doing your Aware partnering in Parenthood course. The way it is structured is really helpful to get clearer together about why we are choosing to aware parent and how we can do it in a more connected way. The part of the course that explores the impact of our childhood on our parenting was a real revelation to both of us. We have noticed that using many of the strategies that you recommend has brought our family closer together. The section where you describe the basics of Aware parenting was also really helpful as it had been me who had been doing all the reading and learning up till this point. The reflections at the end of each section were also really powerful and we have now started having regular meetings each week to reflect on how things are going and how we want things to be. Thank you so much for this really helpful course.

"Thank-you so much for the amazing course over the last couple of weeks. You made the class feel so safe and welcome. You tied all the aware parenting concepts together for me and filled in some gaps that I had. The way that you answered our questions with so much love and empathy is such a beautiful gift. I especially enjoyed the breakout rooms where we could share our reflections with other participants. I’d highly recommend the course to anyone wanting to know more about aware parenting. Thank-you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us."

"Joss is an amazing listener. I have seen several therapists over the years and none have welcomed my feelings as much as Joss does. I feel deeply held and understood in our sessions. She not only creates a sense of safety but also provides encouragement and ideas to further support myself without triggering shame or making me feel that I am not doing enough. Her understanding of Aware Parenting runs deep. It is clear she has taken in the principles and has practiced them for many years.

I thought I understood how to offer loving limits, but with Joss' gentle guidance, a lightbulb went off and I was able to practice loving limits far more effectively. This led to profound experiences while my daughter was learning to use the potty. My daughter had the maturity, knowledge and everything she needed to go for it but something was holding her back. Joss helped me and my husband offer her loving limits and we discovered so many feelings under the surface of our bright and thriving girl. We watched her go into positions that mimicked her birth and she cried and raged for many hours with us over the course of 6 weeks. It was challenging to be with all her feelings, but we could see a shift after each big cry. She was lighter, more easy-going, chatty and had no signs of resentment that we offered her a loving limit. Best of all, she started using the potty of her own free will! We didn't have to bribe her or force her and now we trust her more than we did before because we understand there are real reasons for her resistance to things.

I highly recommend working with Joss if you have your own feelings coming up or if you would like help with parenting challenges."
