Helena Mooney
I have a 16 year old daughter and 10 year old son and am so grateful I discovered Aware Parenting and Hand in Hand Parenting whilst my eldest was a baby.
This approach has given me the tools to navigate life's challenges with them and the support I have received has helped me to heal my own hurts so that I can become a confident, connected and playful Mum.
I'm a Certified Aware Parenting Instructor, a Certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor and a former Doula. I've been working with families for over 15 years and I look forward to supporting you in this membership.
Who are we?
Vivian Viester
I am the mother of a wonderful 15-year-old boy and have been practicing Aware Parenting, inspired by Aletha Solter, for 15 years. When Aware Parenting came my way it resonated with me deeply, even though it wasn't always easy to put into practice.
I soon realized that Aware Parenting wasn't something I could just "do" to my child. This journey involved all of me, and I needed to love and embrace many parts and feelings of myself before becoming the mum I am today. It truly is an ongoing journey.
I've been an instructor for 10 years and am passionate about helping parents love and appreciate themselves and their journey. Attachment Play is also close to my heart, and I love supporting parents in making play a joyful experience for themselves and their children by including themselves into play as well.
“I have loved the combination of Helena and Vivian’s compassionate listening during our sessions. They both help me laugh and cry almost every time.
I'm surprised at how much more present I am with my girls afterwards.
I’m definitely feeling more present and grounded in my day to day life which is a massive shift! Thank you both for your presence and support". ”

“This group is such an incredible support. I feel so held by Vivian and Helena. Their love and wisdom is always there. The Q&As and listening time is incredible value.
A space to not feel alone in it all. I'm so grateful.”

We truly look forward to connecting with you and
being by your side on your parenting journey.
With love, Helena & Vivian
