I feel more confident to keep on working on my parenting and helping my kids with their emotions. It has also helped me to keep myself calm. I have gained a greater awareness of how I choose to deal with tantrums and big emotions. I am much more calm and empathetic.

I have been meaning to write this for a few weeks but have been busy with my newborn babe and wanted to make sure that when I said THANK YOU to Nikki it was everything I had wanted to say. I am already a mum to an 11 year old, so when I was pregnant with this little one I felt like I had it mostly under control. Boy… Read more “Sharni Sinclair”

Nikki is very calm, loving and welcoming. She was very encouraging and understanding throughout the workshop. The information is very easy to understand and connect with and seems easy to implement. I am looking forward to using the tools with my kids and being a more peaceful parent 🙂 Thank you

Nikki, I’m so grateful that my husband and i were able to participate in this incredible series of workshops. Thanks to you, we both feel a sense of calm and preparedness for the journey ahead.  The information you have shared is so invaluable to anyone who is preparing to become a parent. Truly fantastic stuff! We looked forward to the classes every week!

Interactive, hands on, inspiring and very informative. Your workshop was very involved, supportive and very welcoming. You have a very friendly, unopinionated approach and I already look forward to seeing you again at your toddler workshop in a few years! Thank you and I can’t wait to recommend you to friends when they are expecting!

I feel more competent to handle the early days of our baby. It has been really enjoyable.  I feel that we got a lot of great information to help us out in the early days.

Nikki is the real deal – down to earth, genuine, approachable and so knowledgeable about conscious and connected parenting. She walks the talk but doesn’t pretend to be perfect. I have enjoyed all of our interactions and correspondence, and value her advice.

I feel more prepared. More relaxed and more informed.

Nikki is so nurturing, informative and just overall lovely. I love the course she has for new families as I feel it’s something that is so needed and so many families will benefit from. Will be recommending her course to everyone.

It’s a warm inviting workshop, I felt Nikki is open and honest.  She listens and supports all choices.  It helped me feel normal to connect with other mums and share stories.  I felt a lot better about becoming a mummy.

Great to learn about tips and tricks to make parenting less stressful ahead of time. Also really helps to be more informed about what to expect during the first few months once the baby gets home.

Nikki Smith is one of my favourite peaceful parenting resources. She offers prenatal workshops to help you off on the right track and parenting classes to support you on the journey.

We found our consultation informative, inspiring with great information & amazing tips. We feel more positive about enjoying being parents. After one session we have found it to be quite inspiring, positive, encouraging and hopeful. Now we have a realistic approach.

I had a lot of fun and I was always engaged in every class.  The information we received and that was covered was great. I really appreciate that this course was available and feel fantastic now about moving into parenthood. I would recommend this course to everyone!!

Much more informed and more excited about the idea of motherhood. I really enjoyed the experience.  Nikki made us feel so comfortable, it was a great group and everyone sharing was fantastic.

Fantastic to connect with other ‘expecting parents’ and share in their thoughts, expectations, questions and experience going into this process. I also found it fantastic for guys and how to support both parents and their relationship going into mother and fatherhood. I learnt so much about wrapping/wearing my baby and how to be involved in conscious parenting, as well as being a more present mum and partner. I loved… Read more “Taryn Vinson”

Very helpful, parenting is not easy, (Nikki was) helpful with techniques to help.

The best pre-parenting course I think I could have ever done. Absolutely amazing. I have learnt so much from Nikki and feel grateful to have been able to go. Thank you 🙂

Nikki is all about empowering parents to trust their instincts, their bodies, and their baby’s cues. To be told that it’s ok (and preferrable) to go with the flow each day, and listen to your heart as a parent is truly refreshing, especially when there are so many books, well meaning friends and relatives, and websites that want to tell you otherwise. I was fortunate enough to attend one… Read more “Grace Mac”

Nikki, you’re such a beautiful writer. So full of heart and wisdom. Thank you for for your honest account of what parenting can be like. We here at Baby Berry Collective look forward to your feature articles and hang off every word you write! We love your tips and ideas for how to ensure we’re the best parents we can be. A truly gorgeous person inside and out. Thank… Read more “Lucy Green”

The best thing I could have done to prepare for our new baby.  I feel so much more prepared in so many ways, feeding, settling, carrying and comforting mostly.  I love that it involved my husband so much and it allowed us to bond and connect and opened conversations about parenting and the post partum period. Thank you SO much, I highly recommend!

Calming and motivating! I feel calmer in not putting so much pressure on myself to be the ‘perfect parent,’ but to be more present and in tune with my toddler. A conversation regarding the type of parent I want to be (or what my children see me as) has really stuck with me. When I find myself in a stressful situation now with my toddler, I ask myself “what type of… Read more “Siobhan Foster”

“I feel far more peaceful and confident in my choices. More importantly, Nikki gave me the tools and strategies to sit down with my husband and get on the same page when it comes to our parenting decisions (love the red, orange, green categories!). I also just feel far more ‘normal’ – realising that certain behaviours are just my daughter being a two year old and not a criticism… Read more “Amy Molloy; Hay House Author, Journalist and Editor of Collective Magazine”

We loved coming to the workshop and learning all of the different components of parenting! I am so happy to walk away feeling like a more mindful and calm parent. These workshops have really given us the tools to parent gently and on the same page as a couple. The workshop has allowed me to connect with like minded people. So many of the topics that were covered resonated… Read more “Tiana Pritchard-Richards”

Peaceful and logical.  Great to have someone that speaks from experience and professionally. I feel that we are now so far ahead emotionally, physically and ready for this little ball of wonder to enter our lives!

If there is ever a course that parents should take, this is the One! As First time parents we were entering the unknown. However after completing this course we are now knowledgeable and confident in our journey ahead. This course differs from others as it has a very open relaxed approach and most importantly it covers postpartum, an area not often spoken about, but so important. Thank you Nikki… Read more “Michelle Angelides”

I really enjoyed the connection and it felt like a healing workshop. I am looking forward to reading through the content over time, I’m happy and ready to implement it into my life.

I am so glad that we found you!  I feel really well equipped to understand and be able to deal with what life is about to throw at us in two weeks time!  I feel so much more relaxed and no longer anxious because I know what to expect and have learned skills that I know will be invaluable once bubs arrives.  Seriously one of THE best decisions we… Read more “Daniella Steer”

Great opportunity to step away from the daily grind to invest some time in preparing for parenthood. Helped me mentally process what is about to happen 🙂  

I feel so much more confident about the journey ahead.  I feel at ease and relaxed.  This workshop was ideal for myself to take on-board the information provided in the workshop.

Being a first-time mum I wanted a relaxed introduction to becoming a parent.  Nikki’s class was warm, inviting and informative.  She made it comfortable for both my husband & myself.  It’s a class that will suit & benefit anyone.  Both my husband and I would definitely recommend attending Nikki’s classes xx  thanks Nikki

This course is unmissable for parents-to-be who seek to be informed, empowered and excited about their journey into parenthood. Invaluable knowledge and experience are shared with a real focus on the needs of the group as well as covering a host of important topics. My husband and I looked forward to every class and he felt valued and included in the process which was so important for us.

Having a third party explaining things to both of us was more useful/helpful thank just one of us telling the other. It helped us as a couple start planning what we’d like to happen going forward.

I found the workshop to be very informative.  After feeling a little anxious and unprepared about having a baby. I am much more confident and excited to undergo this journey.

I loved all of our discussions and handouts each week to go home and reflect. I felt good. A lot of tips to go home with and start implementing with my own children. I felt like I was on the right track to parenting, I was implementing a lot of the things discussed but it gave me more information to then deepen this at home.

I feel like I have a number of strategies and tools that I can implement at home. It was also so nice to meet and speak to other parents that may be having the same or similar challenges, knowing I am not alone! I found these workshops extremely valuable for me and my family. It was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you felt comfortable to share your challenges… Read more “Brooke van der vyer”

I feel calmer and more informed. I realise I am not the only one thinking, feeling and going through this in motherhood/parenthood!  A welcoming and informative workshop. A truly beautiful group of people to share experiences and thoughts with.

I feel so much more confident in being able to practice gentle parenting and better equipped to take on toddler challenges without losing it! A great safe space to discuss parenting issues. Nikki was really informative, relatable & easy to talk to  🙂

I feel like I understand my sons behavior’s and emotions better, and I now go into a situation with a different perspective. I loved connecting with different parent’s and finding out the things that I am going through, that I am not alone.

A great amount of information.  The comfortable environment made it easy to ask anything and cover everything. Thoroughly enjoyed the flow of conversation among the group. You’ve found your calling Nikki!!

This workshop was SO informative but not overloaded- it’s refreshing! Each week I started to implement some or maybe one of the strategies discussed with my toddler. We now don’t rush things like getting in the car. Sometimes I would have just sat with him whilst he played and now I play for a good 10-20 minute period of time where I’m INTO his game! I am SO impressed… Read more “Maja Novakovic”

I feel that I really needed to be a part of a community talking about parenting. It’s a great, relaxed and safe environment to share. Nikki is a breath of fresh air with a wealth of knowledge and a big heart!

I felt like the information was shared in a really genuine, caring and informed manner. I learned so much and now have more faith in both my own capabilities and inherent abilities, and that of my partner.  I have more confidence to back myself and my instincts.

’I loved it! I am SO glad Josh & I did the workshop, I had no idea there was so much that goes into Breastfeeding! I feel so much more confident & comfortable going into our parenting journey.
Your workshop is real & hearing your personal experiences really made me feel like we could connect on a personal level.
One of the biggest things I actually took… Read more “Tegan King”
