Mentoring
Enhance your professional practice
It takes a village to raise a child - to heal an inner child - to live life - because life is not a one person job; nature designed us to connect with each other.
Attachment is a biological imperative; it is our most fundamental need from cradle to grave. At no time in the lifespan is a human being ever meant to completely self regulate. We are wired to connect.
Your early attachment experience informs all of your relationships, whether with a partner, a child, a friend, a colleague, or a neighbour - or with money, sleep, work, food, time or things. Your attachment experience informs the work you do with every one of your clients, regardless of what they bring.
Whether you're working with issues around relationships, food, sleep, money, parenting, home or work, attachment is key.
As an Attachment Specialist I have rich, deep personal and professional experience that I am happy to share with those who feel called to stand by the science of attachment, measurable and proven with decades of research.
"Attachment is the glue that holds everything together in the universe... [it is] the most profound and powerful drive known to humankind." - Dr. Gordon Neufeld, Developmental Psychologist and Co-Author with Dr. Gabor Mate of Hold On To Your Kids.
Attachment is implicit; it is learned in procedural memory which means you can study it till the cows come home but like riding a bike, the only way to learn it is through lived experience. Attachment isn't a list of things to do, it's how you be.
If your curiousity is peaked and your attachment system wants to play and rest in my care, I bring an attachment focus to my mentoring and offer private mentoring sessions as well as a small closed group to reflect on the book Nourished by Deb MacNamara.
"Mentoring with Wildflower was a pleasure. We were a small closed group which created an intimate space to share and discuss issues and ideas, added to by Wildflower creating a safe space for anything that arose. Although Wildflower shared ideas, what was really valuable was the way she fostered our own sense of understanding and wisdom. I learned that I understood more than I realized and to trust myself more. This meant that I could draw on my own guidance when with clients with greater confidence. Thank you Wildflower for offering such well considered mentoring." - Justine Lawson, Advanced EFT Practitioner
