What we do…

Parenting can be hard! And we shouldn’t be left alone to overcome the challenges. There are so many questions and the answer usually depends on your individual child, family and experiences. Nurtured Parenting will support you in your journey and make you the best parent you can be.

At nurtured parenting we provide parents with the knowledge, skills and confidence to support their children to make changes with their sleep, feeding and behaviour. We work one on one with you to provide an individualised plan to meet the needs of your child in a supportive, gentle way.

Our approach is holistic, practical and informed by the Solihull Approach to parenting.

We offer consultations by phone/zoom or in the comfort of your own home.

We DO NOT practice controlled crying or crying out methods at Nurtured Parenting.

Testimonials

Rachael

“We have used Lian for both of our babies. Her knowledge about babies and their development and sleep habits is absolutely amazing. She is so passionate about helping families and giving confidence to parents around settling babies and their needs. She always made plans within our comfort level with our connection with our children at the forefront.
Personally, our first child responded to Lian’s sleep advice perfectly and was a dream sleeper from 8 weeks old with a few little bumps that Lian was always there to help advise us with.
Our second child had a much tougher start to life and the confidence Lian instilled in me around feeding, sleeping and child development in our first session was amazing, and then the follow ups helped us get on the right track even though he was a lot trickier than our first.
Her knowledge and understanding has helped our family immensely, particularly with our mental health, and I could not recommend her more highly.”

“Lian came for a home visit to help with my 8-and-a-half-week-old twin boys' sleep issues, particularly with night-time settling. From our first meeting, Lian made me feel comfortable and reassured me of my parenting skills and my ability to support my boys in self-settling and sleeping. When my boys were 4.5 months old, I participated in the Solihull Approach Parenting Plus Program – Understanding Your Baby. Lian was incredible as the lead facilitator on this course; she is extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and her passion was palpable.
I learned about numerous topics such as:

Developing a relationship with my babies now and in the future
Exploring my own and my babies' feelings and what is helpful to support us all
The latest information on how a baby’s brain develops emotionally
Sensitive ways to respond to my baby's crying, develop healthy sleep patterns, and establish a healthy feeding relationship
Understanding more about my baby’s developmental and play needs

Lian’s support made a significant difference in our lives, and I truly appreciate her approach to parenting and child development. The education and care she offered was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also perfectly tailored to my family’s unique needs. My twin boys are now 2 years old, and in our challenging moments, I can still hear her calming voice in my ear reminding me to ground myself and breathe, and to get curious with what my boys might be feeling and need my support with.
Thank you Lian.”
