What you told me about the months ahead...
"I'm dreading the summer holidays."
"Everyone else seems to have support."
"I'm exhausted from carrying it all alone."
But what if you're NOT doing summer wrong...
What if your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do?!
Having read all your comments, I have put together a workshop that will help you to understand WHAT is going on and HOW to get through the summer period in the best way possible for you.
What You'll Learn....
This 90-minute interactive workshop (and the accompanying workbook) will help you understand why summer feels so overwhelming, and what's happening in your body and nervous system, so that you can choose tools that work instead of forcing yourself to try well-intentioned advice that doesn't land.
Using the theory behind our attachment patterns and physical responses, I will guide you through an exploration about:
-
Why the summer feels so overwhelming and why your body's responses are key to understanding what's going on
-
How grief moves between deep loss and super busy states, and why getting stuck in either creates problems
-
How to recognise your nervous system state and match your coping strategies to what your body and mind actually need
-
Practical techniques that work regardless of what stage of grief you are in
-
How to move from barely surviving the summer holidays to finding pockets of peace and moments where you can thrive
-
Who is This Workshop For?

Whether you're solo parenting through bereavement or have experienced a relationship breakdown, missing your person during "family season", or you are just finding summer unexpectedly harder than everyone else seems to...
This workshop is for anyone facing a difficult summer after loss of any kind.
Whatever your personal circumstances, this workshop will help you understand your unique responses and how to have the best summer possible this year.

Is this workshop for me?
"I'm only 6 months into grief - is it too soon?"
There's no "too soon" - this is about understanding your responses, not fixing them.
"I'm not a widow - my loss was different. Will this still help?"
Absolutely. This covers all types of loss and family situations.
"I've done lots of therapy/grief work already - will I learn anything new?"
The psycho-education approach often gives fresh insights even for those experienced with grief work.
"I'm not good with theory/academic stuff - will this be too complicated?"
Everything is explained simply with real-life examples. No previous knowledge needed.
"What if I missed the live Workshop?"
You'll get the recording, so you can watch in your own time.
"I'm worried I'll get emotional during the workshop - is that okay?"
Completely normal and expected. The session is designed to be a safe space for whatever comes up.
"Will this just be more 'bubble baths and self-care' advice?"
No - this is about understanding the science behind your responses and choosing tools that actually work for YOUR nervous system.
"I don't have young children - is this still relevant?"
Yes - the content applies to anyone finding summer challenging, regardless of family situation.
"What if my question isn't answered here?"
