Love Parenting

Mel is wonderfully responsive and helpful. She has a whole range of tips in her toolbox that she is happy to share and mould to help each family and their circumstances. Mel’s perspective has helped us in many ways & we are so grateful.

The content was exactly what I was after. Mel explained why children act in certain ways and gave us the tools to develop stronger closer connections. Mel also supplied a number of items and treats to help us along our journey which was above and beyond our expectations.

Mel is a gentle genius! We started with scratching a lime & finished with hot tea & delicious cake! And I'm between in the Parenting Reset we learnt so many strategies to help us not only parent our son better but also parent ourself! Highly recommend

We first contacted Mel at 3am in the morning after our third sleepness night, when our youngest first learned to jump out of his cot. This felt like the straw that broke the camels back for us. The next morning Mel called us back and we instantly knew we had found our savior. We immediately signed up for the Parenting Reset course and I can honestly say that it was the best money that we have ever spent since having kids. We have gotten so much parenting information from Mel, that our kids have florished ever since our first contact and we cant begin to imagine a time without Mel in our lives. If you are reading this and struggling with any aspect of parenting a child of any age, please reach out to Mel, you really will not regret it. 11 out of 10. Thank you Mel for saving our kids and our relationship too, you are the bloody amazing!

I was fortunate enough to win three sessions with Mel and it was the best prize I’ve ever won! It’s been the most valuable time my husband and I have spent reflecting on how we parent, to date. Mel is so open, kind, and supportive and provided us with many tools and evidence-based strategies. She has given us so much confidence going forward! Would recommend to parents of kids of any age:)

I emailed Mel from Love Parenting when I was at breaking point as a mum.
Lockdown had turned our normally happy house into a place the kids and I weren’t surviving together in
I was angry and frustrated and at a complete loss as to how to help our family get back on a path that didn’t involve boarding school

For years I had been reaching out to friends for help and a place to go for parenting help. I was desperate to change the angry, short tempered mum I was becoming.

Finding Love Parenting was like taking a breath of fresh air for the first time in years. There was no judgment, instant connection that what we had been doing as parents up until that moment of contact wasn’t going to be used against us. We weren’t lost causes as parents

The lockdown version of Mel’s support was the best thing we have ever done. It’s real, no fluff and nonsense. It’s instantly practical and her follow up support is beyond what I could have imagined. While still being in lockdown and in the melting pot that was our house, it is still taking time to work through and apply all the tools we’ve been given by Mel. But we know it’s working already.

I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. This amazing lady is worth a million stars and more

The parenting reset with Mel is an individually tailored workshop, not one size fits all! Mel takes the time to know the exact situation for your family (and she remembers- she really cares!), and the strengths in your family. Figuring out the strengths, structured reflections, multi-modal/multi sensory (visual maps, full tummies, smelling all the beautiful things from the garden and yummyherbal teas!) to help consolidate and make the take home messages memories and strategies to really use in day to day life - not just a "what did that woman say? " scenario in the midst of a crisis! The reset has really given me so much- grown the strengths that were there already, new strategies and so much confidence with parenting moving forward. Highly recommend!

Practical, knowledgeable and relevant advise with no feeling of judgement given. Mel is skillful, resourceful and flexible and when she checks back in, she’s genuine and gentle, not Just doing so because It’s part of her job.
I believe she is made for this line of work and I truly appreciate the guidance given by her.

Mel from Love Parenting has been such a useful part of our parenting journey that we now regularly have her tips and ideas running through our heads on a daily basis that we can tap into! It’s like she has rewired our brains to connect in with our kids differently! Yes we’re still reactive at times! But she has taught us that there is so much power in the breath and the pause. So valuable!

Mel's passion and desire to help parents is so fabulous. Thanks for all your support and advice!

Mel was fantastic- she did so much prep before our session and worked to understand our goals. The session was full of logical helpful advice. She did a video session so we could catch up while our young kids were in bed, and we are excited to kick off some strategies.

Mel is a parenting cupid - connecting mums (and dads) with like minded parents. She has been a godsend, a life safer, a mentor, a mental sanity coach, she just gets it and puts everything in to perspective so well! Mel has a gentle way of offering research based advice to help time poor parents succeed in all areas of parenting. With a few simple mindful ‘adjustments’ we found our flow and we are forever thankful we reached out. Thank you Mel.

Mel and Love parenting are amazing. I can not recommend her highly enough. After living in Newcastle, with no family or friends I was finding navigating this parenting caper quite challenging. Despite being a paediatric nurse and a midwife the behaviours of my children (and my own) were overwhelming at times and I didn’t know where to go to get the help I needed with both. Until I found Mel. Being a Huddler has meant that anytime something comes up that I want to work through she’s there. I just send her a message and she replies, in depth with advice and suggestions. She will workshop tailored ideas with me until something clicks and checks in to see how I’m going. One of the best things I love about her is that she’s not telling me what to do but tapping into my insights, my knowledge of our family and guiding me which in turn builds my confidence. There is no blanket answer for every problem. I know her help is tailored to me, my family and our situation.
Mel is kind, caring, knowledgeable, generous and funny! I think adding Mel & Love Parenting to your parenting life just makes sense. You certainly won’t regret it.

Mel from Love Parenting has been such a brilliant resource for us navigating the parenting of our 2 children for the last few years. Our kids are now 18 & 10 and Mel’s sound advice has been essential through the ups and downs of these ages and stages. Wish we’d had that kind of help in the earlier years too! Highly recommend

Mel has a boundless passion for positive parenting solutions that value you, your kids and your family in your unique form. She's truly invaluable, one of a kind and an absolute treasure.

The programs LoVe Parenting offer are extremely effective and well presented. They follow a fluid set of guidelines that are based around beautiful principles. Delivered in a safe, clean, judgment free space you can actually make progress here. Largely in part to a most Gracious host, Mel, and her own loving family.

My challenging situation was confronted with open ears and an open heart. The program allowed me to learn and utilise a new methodology and gave a foundation on which to be the parent I wanted to be. It’s tough out here and Mel offers insight, love, the warmest smile accompanied with tea and biscuits.

Everything to gain and nothing to lose here. If you’re considering becoming a part of Love Parenting you’re making a good choice.

I have really gotten a lot out of the 8 week course. It was great to be able to tweak stuff along the way and reflect on how the previous week went. I really loved working with Mel and appreciated the extra time, patience and passion that she puts in to struggling parents like me. She is one of kind!

Mel at Love Parenting is an incredible resource to tap into for anything parenting related. She is a wealth of knowledge and just 'gets it'. I have lost count of the number of times I have recommended her to others because she has so much to offer across diverse situations.

I was so happy when somebody recommended Mel from Love Parenting. We’ve hit some big hurdles with our youngest & speaking & meeting with Mel has been a weight lifted from my shoulders. Learning some really clever techniques on dealing with different situations has been great. If you feel you’re stuck in a parenting rut, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mel, she’s super friendly & easy to talk too. Thank you Mel x

Mel has, hands down, one of the biggest hearts that I know. So the name “Love Parenting” is appropriate in more ways than one!

Her generosity, caring spirit and desire for parents to thrive, is like nothing I’ve seen and flows through in all her communications.

Mel is extremely empathetic and understanding and has a way of making me feel validated & understood in my parenting struggles; while at the same time, ready to equip me with tools and suggestions to keep moving forward.

There are some people that you meet that make an impact on you for life; Mel is one of those people!
