Danni and Joss create a space where one can be held, affirmed and guided both gently and sometimes even with a little fire towards their parenting potential. It’s very evident that a lot of thought and care goes into each months topics, content, guides and questions; these are invitations to dive in or gently nibble at the offerings as best suits the busy parent on their journey at this time. Thanks I do so appreciate all Joss and Danni are doing in the world.

Alinta
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in this amazing podcast. My family has completely transformed after listening and I especially enjoy the episodes you do in conversation with Danni. I really appreciate that you always share so honestly about the struggles and messy parts of family life too and I feel so supported on my motherhood journey after listening. I am so grateful to you for all the time and thought you put into every episode. I love this podcast.
Jess

The things I’ve learned so far from these two ladies has already had a huge positive impact on our family.

It has helped us, parents and child alike, to mature and strengthen. Once seemingly pointless and disruptive conflict has been almost entirely replaced with empathy and resilience creation. And that’s after less than 2mths!!

Absolutely recommend jumping onboard. There is beautiful support, no judgment and SO much value!!

Danni and Joss are wonderful

Angie

Joss is an immense wealth of parental knowledge and advice.

Coming from a deep seat of compassion and empathy, Joss has supported me in my journey though the pitfalls of parenthood and given me the support and knowledge I needed to navigate my darkest moments with my children.

Being a single Father with a majority of custody, Joss has supported my path forward, not only with regards to my children, but also with their mother and the dynamic that intertwines that triangle of power.

Whether it was listening to her podcasts or dealing direct in one on one consultations, Joss has helped my family come back to the basics of connection, awareness, love and joy with a big focus on the beauty and healing properties of play and loving support.

From dealing with learning disorders, homeschooling, depression & anxiety, drugs & alcohol and just plain defiance, joss has helped me across the full spectrum of childhood issues with a calm, balanced and conscious energy that invigorates you and leaves you feeling like there is hope.

These little humans don’t come with an instruction manual so it is so comforting to know that people like Joss are around to help those of us who are struggling.

Good conscious parenting is hard, but the rewards are bountiful and there is nothing more fulfilling in this world than watching our children thrive and learn the ways of this world under the safety of our care and guidance in a connected and balanced way.

Thank you for your help and guidance.

My partner and I love working with Joss. Joss has such a wealth of experience in Aware Parenting and her approach is grounded & deeply caring. We contacted Joss because our toddler really struggled with the transition to having a new baby brother. I recall thinking many times in the initial months after having our second baby, ‘oh I’m having yet another unenjoyable parenting moment, and another, and another!!’. I felt emotionally stretched and worn out, and so did my partner.

Our sessions with Joss have supported us to prioritise more self care & nurturing, foster deep compassion for ourselves and our little ones, listen with abundant presence to big feelings, play with the magical powers of play & continue the journey of re-parenting ourselves! That’s a whole lot of value isn’t it!! I highly recommend Joss - she’s an empowering super-power coach who has supported us to access our own super-powers more and more. Big hearted appreciation to you Joss

Lulu

I was struggling with parenting my 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter particularly around having firm boundaries and being consistent. I was talking to a friend of mine and saying I need a parenting coach and she mentioned Joss and aware parenting. I had never heard of aware parenting and looked it up. It immediately resonated with me so I got in touch with Joss.

In only a short time Joss was able to explain to me very clearly the principles of aware parenting and how they work. She listened with compassion as I told her the struggles I have been experiencing and gave me some really good practical tips which when I put them into practice really worked. I actually thought I would need to see Joss for a long time as I was feeling quite pessimistic about things changing at the start, but I was surprised that just by adding some new techniques from aware parenting how effective it was.

My partner was a little sceptical at first as he thought it was about permissive parenting but he soon realised he was wrong. He saw how the changes we both made improved things and he really started to understand the way it works.

It was clear to me that Joss is really passionate about what she does and I felt very supported by her throughout my parenting challenges.

Thank you Joss

Skye

I find myself truly blessed with having Joss’s support in my life.

Her gentle, calm, loving and tender presence is like a warm light shining on me in our sessions.

I feel safe with Joss, to explore my inner worlds and I really love how she holds the space for me and how she gently and subtly guides me in connecting to my feelings and needs, and in expressing them.

I also love learning from her and her experiences.

My heart feels warm and loving when I think of Joss, and my life is definitely more valuable because of having met her, and knowing that she is here for me too.

I wish you would live close by.

Vivien
I have been blessed to have witnessed Joss interact with her kids from an AwP perspective for over a decade now. She is one of the most dedicated and patient parents I know. Her children are living proof that this model of child rearing is nothing short of miraculous.
Joss has a graceful way of explaining and demonstrating AwP principles so that they can be implemented without any confusion.
She also has a gift of playfulness which has left us both in fits of laughter many times - a priceless thing to have passed on to her kids. She continues to inspire me on my AWP journey on a weekly basis.
Chiara

I know that Aware Parenting is Joss's passion and life choice. She always shows empathy, forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love. Joss is well known as an empathetic and nurturing woman. She is a mentor to me and to many, children and adults both, during times of challenge and as life support. Joss is easy to talk to and provides a non judgemental space where you feel comfortable and relaxed to be in. I know that I can trust Joss . She is a truly great listener and can hear for the real issues underneath the surface and help me to fully address them. She is always looking for the best solution for both long term and short term.

Joss makes a huge difference in the lives of so many women and children. With a warm heart and a genuine love of people Joss is my generosity mentor, she goes above and beyond, always with love and kindness as her goal. She is clear and can confidently communicate the concepts of Aware Parenting.

Lisa

I loved chatting with Joss. She creates such a safe space to explore the parenting journey, with no judgement and lots of guilt dissolution! Joss has come up with a couple of super simple to implement ideas to help reduce parental worry/anxiety and transform it into trust & to strengthen connection.

I highly recommend working with her

Helen

I have known Joss since 2006 and am in awe of what she brings to the world as an Aware Parenting Instructor. Her profound knowledge, wisdom and experience of Aware Parenting shine out in every interaction she has with parents, whether that's in Zoom calls, in our Aware Parenting and Natural Learning Community or in written responses in our free Facebook group. I've seen the relief on parents' faces and the drop in their shoulders as she shares her experiences with her children and the deep trust she has in Aware Parenting and the parent-child relationship through deeply living this approach over the past 15 years. I highly, broadly and widely recommend working with her.
