I cannot thank you enough.” Cherie, you have given me an entirely new perspective on my parenting role; you made me realise that I am allowed to learn as a parent and not always get things right. You have taught me that I don’t need anyone to validate me and that I can validate myself. This has made me grow faith in myself and heal from the mistakes I have been beating myself about, making me a more content and happy parent. Cherie, I cannot thank you enough; when I met you, I was in pieces and the time spent with you, your knowledge, understanding and guidance have helped me turn my home life around. 

Testimonials

Carmel, Mum of three Children

We are in a calmer place now. It has been wonderful working with Cherie. I have three kids and she has really helped me gain perspective and provided really helpful insight and tips, at a very challenging time (I worked with Cherie over lockdown and really felt supported over this difficult chapter). I found Cherie encouraging and a positive influence – she wasn’t judgemental and was able to suggest different approaches when something wasn’t working. Working with her for over six months meant I could implement changes and assess how these adjustments affected our family. We are in a calmer place now and are communicating better as a family, this has reduced the amount of conflict and has given me time to reflect and address each of my child’s needs. I would highly recommend working with Cherie, and it’s lovely knowing she is there – if we were going through another tricky patch I would definitely work through it with Cherie.

Cerri and Andy

I attribute an entire year of sobriety to Joanne and her coaching. I can hand on heart say she got me here, and had it not been for her support (and honestly regarding her own journey) in the early days I would have no doubt returned to the world of grey area drinking, outwardly pretending to be proud of 2/3 months without alcohol, but actually disappointed and ashamed in myself for another failed attempt. She made me accountable, knowledgeable and equipped for whatever life threw at me, which previously would have sent me straight to the wine rack! I was prepared for the planned challenges, and able to count on myself for the unplanned ones. I couldn’t have done it without her. Joanne is a safe space to let it all out, then help you find your way back. I will be forever indebted.
