Joss is uniquely skilled and talented in her ability to hold a compassionate space that feels nurturing and honest. She doesn't shy away from the truth of the bigness or messiness of life and her authenticity makes connection effortless. Being held by Joss is like having the most supportive friend always on your side. Her voice is so love filled it feels like healing in sound form. Joss, I am so grateful for your beautiful work.

Danni and Joss have created pure magic at these retreats. Their love, respect and admiration for each other is palpable. As facilitators they offered us safety, love and deep holding. Over the weekend we were gently invited to share our stories, lean into our pain and express our emotions. I was able to explore parts of myself I didn’t even know existed, all whilst being witnessed and supported by an epic group of women. As a participant I felt so seen, heard, understood and most importantly, unconditionally loved.

Danni & Joss are offering something out into the world that is so unique and so sacred. The connection amongst the group was like nothing I have ever experienced before. The power of vulnerability was beyond words. One night we were invited to express ourselves fully, to release all of our pent up rage and pain. The energy in the room was so electric, even the lights flickered with our connection and strength! It felt like a true sisterhood as we danced the night away with freedom and joy. It’s difficult to describe, but I reflect on the retreat like travelling through a portal, to the depths of yourself and then back out the other side; a more embodied, whole and connected version of yourself. This would not be possible without the deep presence and holding Danni & Joss offered each and every one of us. It was an utterly transformational weekend of healing and growth. My only qualm was that it just wasn’t long enough, so roll on the next one!!

Working with Joss has been one of the most profoundly healing experiences of my life. For the first time, I truly understand what it means to reparent myself. To be held with such tenderness, to be met with genuine compassion, and to be guided so gently has been deeply reparative.

Through parts work, compassionate listening, and Joss’s rich understanding of aware parenting, I’ve begun to grow an inner loving mother within me - one who stays more present and kind, especially when I’m struggling. I’m not a perfect parent, and I still have days when I find it hard to listen the way I wish I could. But now, instead of judging myself, I’m learning to meet those moments with more grace and self-compassion. That has changed not only my relationship with myself, but also the way I show up for my children.

Joss brings a rare blend of skill, heart, and wisdom that makes this work feel safe, transformative, and deeply empowering. I’m profoundly grateful for the time we’ve had together and for all that her support has opened in me. I couldn’t recommend working with her more.

I can’t say enough about how grateful I am that I began working with Joss. I began working with her during a very challenging time in our family. We had practiced Aware Parenting since my oldest was born and honestly things had gone so well.  Parenting was still hard but there was ease. However, after our second daughter was born we were met with so many challenges as a family. I was still in a lot of physical pain from birth, my husband returned back to work after having almost 3 months of one on one time with my oldest daughter every day and our baby was experiencing some unexpected health issues which was very stressful. All of this added to a lot of unmet needs, overwhelm and not being able to provide our oldest with what she needed in this time.

I remember one particular evening in which bedtime was just really hard and after that, I had a really big cry that night and decided to reach out to Joss, knowing that I needed some extra support. I was feeling disappointed, worried and self-judgment that we were struggling so much. I was also confused because we were so intentional in preparing her for the birth of her sister and that transition. I was very familiar and had been working with all the “theory” of Aware Parenting but I really needed help integrating it during this stressful time. I was really drawn to Joss’s work and approach- in particular because of her emphasis on imperfection and self-compassion.

So fast-forward a few months after working with Joss and I had another bedtime with my daughter that was so beautiful and so connected, and afterwards I went and had another big cry because it was truly the most connected I had probably felt to her since having our baby.  We had come such a long way in healing in such a short time. Joss is very gifted at holding space and listening, and she is particularly skilled at being able to listen for the deeper themes of what is happening for me and my family. I have found my sessions with her so illuminating and it has had a ripple effect on my children, partnership and whole family.

I know it can be hard as a mom to carve out the space and time to just really get some listening and support for yourself, but when you’re often the one holding the space for the big feelings and the emotional care at home, it is so so so important that we have this opportunity to really do our own inner healing and aware parenting work so that our families can thrive.

I am an Aware Parenting instructor in the UK and have been saturating myself with your 'Embracing Imperfection' series. Feeling such a fierce call to offer a deep thank you beyond words, for sharing these vulnerable conversations.

I had a piercingly traumatic perinatal period with my gorgeous son, and I know that had these raw episodes been available to me then, my aching heart would have received them with relief, trust and hope. Your interviewing style is so sensitive, compassionate, intuitive, curious and reflective.

Sending limitless gratitude Joss.

My second year in this gorgeous community with Joss and Danni, has been incredibly supportive and even more profound than the first, building on my understanding of aware parenting, connection to my children, and bringing me back home, to myself. In the last 12 months, I began co-sleeping with my two children and to walk the path of life without school, and I cannot imagine mothering and living any other way.

My own healing journey has been raw, tender and so powerful with the loving support of Joss, Danni and the beautiful spaces they hold in their online community and one-on-one. I was also incredibly blessed to be in their physical presence this year at the retreat they held, and they are even more gorgeous, compassionate and loving in real life!

I have witnessed and held space for my children to move some of their own big traumas, including their IVF journey, birth, separation, loss of siblings, friendships, sickness and injury, and day-to-day stresses, and love knowing these are stories they no longer have to carry throughout their life, and will always have me to love and support them through whatever life brings them. I have been in awe watching them step into their own power, wild and free, with a voice, and in tune with their bodies and needs, empowering them to live as their most authentic, beautiful beings from such a young age. I have also seen their relationship as brother and sister unfold, and the moments of love and compassion for one another is undeniably gorgeous. Their moments of rupture are equally wild and raw, but watching them come back together makes my heart melt.

It is not the easiest way to parent at times, but I can see the ripple effect of love and connection and authenticity in our lives and the world around us. Thank you Joss and Danni for this beautiful gift to the world

Twelve months ago, I entered this community feeling overwhelmed as my mat leave ended and I prepared to return to work, while juggling the needs of all my little humans and knowing that I had a lot of inner work that needed tending to. I had big hopes for maintaining boundaries, learning to say no unless it was a "full yes," and creating more connection and compassion in our family life.

I'm thrilled to say I've achieved all the intentions I set for myself. I'm maintaining my boundaries beautifully, saying no unless it's a full yes has become natural, I’ve really been able to lean into tending to my needs and the work, and our family life has transformed into something filled with deeper connection, a bit more play than before and compassion around big feelings.

My role as a mother has been so deeply supported within this community. Through being open to sharing vulnerably, asking questions, and listening to the challenges of other women that feel so familiar to my own, I am growing into the aware parent that I always have been striving to become. We are all on this journey together with so many similar challenges, and it has been incredibly empowering to have my village here online, nearby that I could tap into anytime I needed the guidance or support.

But perhaps the most beautiful gift of this year is the clarity I now have about the deeper healing work I want to explore next. Having met these foundational goals that I set myself, I can see new layers of growth calling to me, and I feel equipped and excited to continue this journey.

I am deeply grateful for Joss and Danni, whose warmth, openness, and care created such a safe container for transformation. Their ability to hold me and all the beautiful women in this community with such grace and wisdom has been truly extraordinary.

The year-long commitment allowed for real, sustainable change, and I feel both proud of how far I've come and excited about the continued growth ahead.

The Exploring Aware Parenting community has become an anchoring source of inspiration, strength, connection and deep compassion for me. Danni and Joss are both invaluable and so generous in their knowledge, wisdom and understanding. The others mummas, women who show up, share their challenges, their journeys in reparenting, their wins and just listen have all made me feel so held, and so supported in my own journey. The community is just that - a community and has made me feel less alone and the combination of all it has to offer, has really helped me embody Aware Parenting more and more trust the journey!!

Feeling so grateful for this community and so much has shifted for me this year. I am so much more relaxed and trusting of myself, I no longer overthink things as much or feel guilty about my choices, I am soooo much more compassionate with myself, I am able to release my feelings when they build up and support my nervous system when things get intense. I’ve listened to the mediation for month 4 almost every day since it came out and it’s my feeling connection ritual that works every time. More and more I can move into the feelings without it but the compassionate words get me every time!

My own healing journey has been profound and I am so grateful for this community for all the support, compassion and learning it has offered. I cannot wait for next year and to continue this beautiful journey together. The other day I connected with the need to feel held by other mothers on this path and I imagined myself lying down and all of the people in the community placing their hands on me and it helped me move into a big cry. It’s all so beautiful and powerful so I can’t thank you enough for this community, it’s been an honour to share this path with you all.
