"The Aware Parenting Babies course changed my life. It opened my eyes to a new way of connecting with my baby, myself and everyone around me." (Caroline)
I was in a desperate place
I started working with Helena because of sleep and continued because it changed the way I saw my baby’s emotions.
She opened my eyes to a new way of connecting with my baby, myself and everyone around me. I connected more with him, I enjoyed him more, I connected more with myself and my partner and yes, better sleep followed pretty quickly.

I count my blessings I found Helena when I did otherwise I’m not sure how I would be coping today.
My daughter was absolutely terrible at napping during the day. I was so exhausted and felt as though I could not catch a break.
Searching for a solution I came across Helena it has resulted in my daughter sleeping for 2 hour blocks at nap times and lengthy blocks at night. Her feeding improved drastically and reduced some of the wind problems she also had.

Create a strong parenting foundation with your baby
I'm Helena Mooney & I'm a Parenting by Connection Instructor and an Aware Parenting Instructor. I'm also mum to 2 children so I really understand how challenging bedtimes can be.
When my eldest was a baby, I thought I was doing everything "right". I carried her in a sling everywhere, breast-fed on demand, never let her cry, co-slept and minimised over-stimulation.
The problem was - she took AGES to fall asleep and woke frequently throughout the night. I was completely exhausted.
When she was 10 months old I discovered Aware Parenting and everything changed. I learned what was going on for her emotionally and how to best help her, without needing to 'train' her or leave her on her own
She started sleeping better. Bedtimes were easier. She was more settled and happier during the day. I came out of that exhaustion fog.
And what was even better, was that I'd found a way that benefited her & our entire family as she became a toddler, went to pre-school and primary school. I learned how her emotions governed her behaviour and found a respectful, effective way that helped when she had tantrums, got frustrated, angry or upset.

When my son was born 6 years later, it was amazing the difference when I knew how to help him sleep better from birth, in ways that were compassionate, respectful & strengthened our connection.
My children are now 12 & 6 years old, and what I learned then continues to apply now.
The lessons you'll learn will last a life-time.
