The Scottish Soul Sister

Whether it is your first child or your twenty-first child, whether you are a birth mother, a father, a foster parent, an adoptive parent or a step-parent, it is one of the craziest rides we will ever go on right?! Now, we are fortunate to live in a time where we have some amazing resources available at the touch of a button or a swipe of a screen, doulas, hypnobirthing classes, lactation consultants, sleep consultants, countless platforms (can’t forget good old social media!) and advice as to how to do this parenting stuff! Or........does all of this available and often conflicting information actually become overwhelming leaving you all tied up in knots as to how to be the best parent you possibly can? If you are with me....keep reading! I’ve got you!

When my son was born in 2017 I suffered from Post Partum Depression, this was not my first rodeo with regards to mental health challenges but it was the catalyst to getting on top of my mental and physical health. All that I have learned and implemented since then now provides the foundations of my day-to-day well-being. I call it Simple, Sustainable Selfcare.

• SIMPLE because navigating a new arrival and the dynamics of day-to-day life does not always lend well to complex, lengthy, expensive care plans or retreats in the Maldives (although that would help a little right?)
• SUSTAINABLE because we all know that committing and overextending our intentions (think New Year's Resolutions, the cabbage soup diets and gym sessions five days a week, never to allow a bit of chocolate to pass our lips again!) often result in disappointment when we do not maintain our wonderful plans and goals!
• SELF CARE because this all starts with YOU! Yes, I know you have a wee one to look after but like the pilot says on the flight “you must put your oxygen mask on first “.

Nikki offers an online guide, as well as online coaching sessions. She creates and holds a safe space free of prejudice or judgement to allow you to give oxygen to any challenges you may be currently facing or to simply identify areas of your life you would like to optimise. Upon booking your session(s), Nikki will invite you to explore and identify the best strategies to create a foundation of clarity and organisation using simple, sustainable tools that when implemented can have a massive impact of your daily life and overall sense of wellbeing.
