My reasons for Tribal Hearts…

I have always been fascinated by child development and this interest only grew when I had my own daughter 3 years ago. A new world of ‘natural parenting’ was opened up to me and it felt so, so right. Alongside this, as I became more conscious in my choices my lifestyle changed too. I wanted the best for my daughter and I, and so changed to organic wholefoods and natural products and began to appreciate nature much more. I realised our huge responsibility as humans for the world we live in, and take so much from, and I wanted to make better choices and encourage my daughter to do the same.

A passion had been ignited; a passion for a world where children are loved unconditionally, listened to and respected and given experiences that make them fall in love with our planet and the people on it.

Our children are tomorrows adults, and that is my motivation for Tribal Hearts. To help parents give children the gift of happiness, self-confidence, independence, emotional well being, compassion, responsibility and curiosity – to name a few. To create a better understanding of the way children’s minds work and the impact our words and actions have on their development. To create waves of change in the parenting community that will give tomorrows adults the ability to change their world for the better.
