Back Into Balance
Recovery & Prevention
Has parenting taken over your whole life?
The “Back into Balance” parental burnout coaching programme is a personalised journey to reclaim time and space for you. It’s not about adding more to your to-do list; it’s about redefining priorities, learning to ask for help, fostering self-care, and building resilience.
Are You Feeling...
Exhausted?
Parenting can be a relentless journey, leaving you feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and emotionally. Once everyone else has been taken care of, there is nothing left for you.
Worried?
The weight of parental responsibilities often comes with its fair share of worries. From ensuring your child’s well-being to managing your household, all the mental load mums carry often means it’s hard to relax, be really present and have fun.
Guilty & Ashamed?
Whether it’s about not having enough time for your kids, for yourself, making decisions you question, or simply feeling like you should be doing more – the guilt can be overwhelming.
Do you ‘lose it’ with your child(ren) and/or partner, exploding in anger or frustration or bursting into tears? Do you then berate yourself or feel embarrassed after? Do you feel ashamed that you seem not to be able to handle motherhood even though you wanted children? Do you feel guilty for wanting to focus on other aspects of your life and not just motherhood”?
You're Not Alone!
The journey starts by acknowledging that you deserve more than just being in survival mode – you deserve a life filled with joy, confidence, and ease. Let’s transform exhaustion into energy, anxiety into confidence, and guilt and shame into self-compassion!
Recovery from parental burnout and relapse prevention isn’t a quick fix and a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s a journey that demands a tailored approach based on your specific situation.
