What our mums are saying...
"Before this programme I was overwhelmed and stuck in a constant loop of anxiety, trying to force everything to work. Iāve learned how much space and connection matter. I now see my son differently, and I parent from calm instead of panic. The group environment was incredible hearing other mumsā experiences made me feel less alone and completely understood. I finally feel more confident and grounded as a parent."
"This programme has completely changed how I see my son. I used to see behaviour; now I see a child in a stress response who needs connection. My own anxiety was running the house and I didnāt realise. Now Iām calmer, Iām letting go, and Iām seeing my children step forward because Iām stepping back. The change in our mornings alone has been unbelievable. I finally feel like I have a roadmap."
"Iāve learned to stop fixing everything and to trust my daughter more. This programme helped me understand her anxiety and her sensitivity in a completely new way. Saying ānoā without fear was huge for me. Seeing how she responds when I drop the pressure has been incredible. I feel more connected to her than I have in years. This work has changed our whole dynamic."
"I came into this programme feeling completely hopeless and terrified. I thought the whole focus would be on changing my daughter, but itās actually transformed me. I understand my inner child, my triggers, and why certain situations feel overwhelming. My daughter mirrors me, and for the first time I feel equipped to lead instead of react. The compassion and safety in this group has been life-changing."
"I joined thinking my kids needed fixing, but what shifted was me. Iām learning to pause, to feel my feelings instead of reacting, and to sit in discomfort without trying to fix everything. The framework gave me clarity and hope. I loved hearing examples from others it made everything click. This programme has helped me become a more conscious, grounded parent."
Who are we?
We're sisters. And we've been exactly where you are.
Not in a vague, "we understand" way. In a doors-slamming, heart-pounding, what is happening to my family way.
Our children came with big emotions and bigger behaviours. The kind that floor you. That make you question everything. They have diagnoses and those labels helped, up to a point. But the label never told us what to actually do in the moment. It didn't explain the biology. It didn't explain why our children's stress responses were so much more reactive, so much more consuming, than other kids seemed to be.
And it didn't explain why we were struggling to hold it and falling apart trying to deal with it.
Between us, we've lived with school refusal, explosive rage, shutdowns, disordered eating, OCD, sensory sensitivities Ā and the particular exhaustion that comes from loving a child whose physiology is constantly on high alert. We know the physical tensing before the mayhem starts. The stepping on eggshells. The dread of the school run. The grief of a home that no longer feels safe and is nothing liked you imagined.
We tried everything first. Private counselling. Neurologists. The full assessment process. Holistic therapies. Coaching. Lifestyle medicine. We read everything, spent thousands, and sat in waiting rooms hoping someone would hand us the answer.
Some of it helped. None of it lasted.
What changed everything was the hardest thing to face: it wasn't only our children who needed to change. It was us, our own unregulated physiology, our fear energy, our over-responsibility, Ā running quietly underneath, keeping the whole system stuck.
When we learned to work with our own stress response first, everything shifted. The explosions became less frequent. We stopped getting pulled into the conflict. And when the big responses came, Ā because they still did, we weren't escalating them anymore. We weren't the catalyst.
We were learning to regulate so we could teach our children to regulate. This isn't just good parenting theory. It's also biology. A regulated adult physiologically transmits safety to a dysregulated child. Co-regulation. The science is unambiguous, our children's stress responses are literally shaped by ours.
That changed everything about how we understood the problem. And the solution.
That's the work we share now.
We're certified health coaches and members of the Royal Society of Medicine. We've spent years studying neuroscience, emotion science, somatic regulation, EFT, IFS, and lifestyle medicine. But everything we teach is grounded in something no qualification gives you the lived experience of doing this work from the inside, in real families.
We built The Emotions Lab because we couldn't find what we needed when we were in the thick of it.
So we created it. For you.
