Mother Me was born after the birth of her first child…
‘I began to write the book after I had my first child, Lucas. I adored my son, but I worried about returning to work, my relationship was strained and I found it hard to adjust to spending so much of my time in the house. Instead of feeling calm and at peace, I was anxious and stressed. I was a mother, but I wanted someone to Mother Me! I knew I had to do this, but I didn’t know how. So this book was born from serious soul searching, my own experience after having my son and then my daughter, my knowledge as a pre and post-natal yoga teacher, and speaking to hundreds of mothers and dozens of experts.

‘I wanted to give women the tools to make that transition from being a woman to becoming a mother as smooth and rewarding as possible, to help women become mothers, without losing their sense of self and keeping inner peace and life balance.

‘I’d love to hear back from other mums who have found Mother Me helpful or have comments or questions about the book. Good luck with your journey!’
