In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Marianne Littlejohn. Marianne has been a midwife for 40 years, an Aware Parenting Consultant for 30 years, and is a home-birth midwife. She has a Psychology degree and is currently studying through the school of Infant Mental Health in London. She has 3 sones and a grand-daughter.

Marianne shares her powerful story of healing in motherhood, learning to bring authenticity to her relationship with herself and her relationships in her family. She describes how Aware Parenting has supported healing for herself and her children by teaching her how to give space to her children to express their feelings with loving, safe support. She shares her journey with compassion and kindness, for herself, for her mother and for her children. She shares how she now supports parents to develop attuned relationships with their babies, understanding the rich communication of babies so their needs can be met. She gives a beautiful example of how her son and daughter-in-law have practised Elimination Communication with her grand-daughter.
