We were never meant to parent alone, yet more and more Mothers are finding themselves lonely, overwhelmed and reaching out to 'experts'
I believe that Mothers don't need saving, they need reminding that they know their little one better than anyone and it's safe to trust their instincts and Mother in a way that works for them and their family.
The Connected Parenting Program is centred around:
Celebrating the uniqueness of each family
Reminding Mothers that they know their child better than anyone
Busting the myth of Milestones and focusing on Natural Sequential Development from Birth
Nervous system regulation for the entire family
A holistic understanding of infant and child development
Cognitive development, baby & child brain development and infant mental health
The importance of touch and close connection for bonding and early communication
Play as a learning tool - nurturing natural curiosity
Natural, gentle remedies for ailments like teething, constipation, colic and reflux
Providing hands on, practical skills and knowledge that's accessible

Module Five
Baby Yoga
Our Accredited Baby Yoga & Developmental play practitioners are specialists in supporting genuinely baby led play and brain body integration by providing safe, engaging environments and developmentally appropriate activities. In this course we explore cognitive, language, socio-emotional and physical development from 16 weeks until crawling.
We explore how secure attachment and the opportunity to move and explore freely forms the basis of learning and healthy holistic wellbeing and development and how we can use gentle stretches, songs and interaction to support development at this age.
Our Four key themes are:
-Free movement, balance and brain body integration
-Rhythm and early communication
-Sensory Integration- age appropriate sensory play ideas
-Tummy Time as a play position
Module six
Little Buds Baby Gym
Babies on the move require something totally new and exciting, something that challenges their new found physical ability whilst supporting them to cognitively process what's going on around them. They're no longer tiny babies but still lack the confidence and refined skills of a toddler and need that close reassurance from their parent.
Our Little Buds Training follows on from Seedlings sensory stretch and sing and supports our practitioners to provide safe, age appropriate environments and activities that support brain, body and sensory integration, through movement, songs, sensory play and healthy attachment
