HELLO BEAUTIFUL, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU!
I love my kids. I love being their mum, but motherhood changed me.
Something had shifted and no one I knew had really talked about that part of becoming a mother.
THE PART WHERE EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT YOURSELF CAN SUDDENLY FEEL TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
When my first baby was around eight months old, I started deep-diving into personal development.
At the time, I thought I was simply trying to understand myself. I had no idea it would lead to years of learning, reflecting and unlearning... questioning my beliefs, my sense of worth, and who I thought I was supposed to be.
The more I explored my own experience and started sharing that with other mums, the more I noticed,
I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE.
There were so many women who loved their kids deeply and loved being a mum, but had spent so long looking after everyone else that they'd lost sight of themselves.
Women who weren't necessarily unhappy with their lives, but knew they wanted something for themselves, too. Women who felt guilty for even admitting it.
I couldn't stop thinking about it.
THERE WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT MOTHERHOOD THAT I FELT WE WEREN'T HAVING.
Eventually, that conversation became Mother Bloomed.
YOU MATTER IN YOUR OWN LIFE, TOO.
I believe you can love being a mum and still want more for yourself.
You can be grateful for the life you've created and still want things to change.
You can care deeply about your family without putting your own wants and needs at the bottom of the list.
But knowing you want something for yourself and actually making room for it are two different things.
Sometimes, you've spent so long doing what you think you should do that you're not even sure what you want anymore.
Sometimes, you know exactly what you want, but guilt, expectations or the fear of getting it wrong keep you putting it off.
You don't find yourself. You create yourself.
You get to decide who you want to be and start making choices that reflect her.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I'm a mum of three, Transformational Life Coach, Master NLP Practitioner, Circle Facilitator and founder of Mother Bloomed.
My own experience of motherhood sparked a passion for understanding identity, mindset and the expectations we carry as women and mothers.
Over the past five years, I've coached and supported women through different seasons of motherhood, while continuing to deepen my own knowledge and practice in personal development.
I help mums look at things differently, challenge what's keeping them stuck and back themselves enough to take action.
I'm not here to tell you what your life should look like.
I'm here to help you work out what you want it to look like and support you to start creating it.
Your life doesn't have to wait until the kids are older, things get easier or everyone else needs you a little less.
Your life is happening now, too.
THIS IS WHAT MOTHER BLOOMED IS ABOUT.
A space for mums who've spent so long putting everyone else first that they've lost sight of what they want for themselves.
A space to pause and understand what's changed.
To question what you've been told you're supposed to want.
To get clear on what matters to you now.
And to start making choices that create room for the woman you want to be.
Not by loving your children any less.
Not by having to choose between being a good mum and being yourself.
But by recognising that you matter, too and acting like it.
Motherhood is a huge part of who you are.
It doesn't have to be the part where you disappear.
