Parenting Support & Professional Consultancy online worldwide.
There's a whole lot happening in your little one's brain during the early years.
Our kids are growing and developing at an extraordinary pace in the first 8 years, figuring out their feelings, relationships and the world around them.
But there's a LOT going on for us during this time, too. Understanding what's going on beneath the behaviour, and how best to support them (let alone ourselves), isn't always easy.
Growing Us is a homecoming to what matters most:
🌸 the relationship we nurture with ourselves, and
🌸 the relationships we nurture with our kids.
In this space, we weave together developmental science, relational skills and the therapeutic powers of play to help children thrive...
While we also grow in self-compassion, emotional intelidence and deep, intuitive confidence.
Because nothing grows you up like raising little kids, and we sure as heck weren't meant to do it alone!
Does this sound like you?
Tired of second-guessing yourself and worrying if you're getting it "right"?
Wanting to break free from yelling, lose it less, and embrace a more balanced, firm + fair approach?
Passionate about nurturing children's social and emotional wellbeing?
Wanting to better understand what's driving behaviour - and grow your toolkit for how to handle it?
Seeking real support that honours your intuition AND children’s individuality?
I hear you, I see you, I am you!
What if children’s big feelings and behaviours no longer sent you into overwhelm?
Raising little kids was never meant to feel this lonely, confusing or complicated. Find your pathway to stop second-guessing and find your strong ground.

THE PERSON BEHIND GROWING US
I'm Ginny.
I'm a Mum (x2), Master-Qualified Play Therapist, Teacher, and endlessly curious student of the early years (ages 0-8).
I bring together my knowledge of how kids learn and develop, the science of psychology and therapeutic play to help us better understand children and what they need from us.
And... as a mum myself, I know that understanding the theory and living the reality are two very different things.
I'm not here to give you more rigid rules or judgement (we get enough of that in this online world!)
I'm here to help you see the child beneath the behaviour, step confidently into your role as their leader, and deeply trust in the power of your relationship.
🤍 Curiosity
🤍 Confidence
🤍 Connection
Because I believe that all of us (kids included!) deserve to feel safe, seen and supported.
Newsflash:
The way you see your child becomes the reality you create.
Let this shift change your family life.
Children communicate through behaviour long before they communicate through words. When we stop asking “How do I get them to stop?” and start asking “What are they asking of me?” we move from control to curiosity, and from reactivity to relationship.
Circle of Security Parenting™ (COSP) Program is an 8-week group experience, where you'll learn how attachment theory can help you build a stronger, more secure relationship with children in your care.
