Work With Me

The Lap is a resource for mothers and caregivers who are seeking more.

Those of us who are seeking for some kind of blueprint or map so you’re not always one step behind this dynamic person you are watching change & evolve before your very eyes.

If you are yearning for a deeper connection with yourself in your pregnancy or parenting, or a stronger relationship with your children then you’re in the right place.

  • The Lap is a space that centres women & caregivers who yearn for a deeper connection with themselves and their loved ones. To make sense of their mind, body and soul in the context of modern day society, that often forces us to bypass our connection with ourselves and our children. Information is power. Designed by a mother who is also a doctor, The Lap is committed to integrity, science based & proven strategies to help you navigate your way. Identifying your deep wants & needs allows you to shed light on your values, living in closer alignment to who you truly are, giving more breathing space for happiness, contentment & peace. This is the work we do in coaching and will continue to evolve.

  • The Lap offers 1:1 coaching to reflect back to you your patterns that may be helpful or getting in the way of being in deep connection with yourself and others. The content has deep roots in science, clinical experience and lived experience. It is a strengths based approach that encourages you to find the answers to your own questions, for you to be in control of your narrative. To increase your confidence in parenting. Content will be added to give those of us who are searching for more the How, not just the Why. Get in touch if you would like 1:1 coaching or any other enquiries. Watch this space as it evolves.

  • Pregnant women, Mothers, Fathers & Caregivers of children - if you are wondering if coaching or content is applicable to you please get in touch, I would love to chat - hello@thelap.com.au

Either we spend time meeting our children’s emotional needs by filling their cup with love, or we spend time dealing with the behaviours caused from their unmet needs. Either way we spend time.
