“We have done several of Josie’s courses and learned a lot. Often, what she imparts seems very obvious when you feel like you’re at a brick wall but can’t see what to do!
One to one observation and advice was excellent too. Highly recommended.”
— SJ, father of two
“Just spent my evening with some great parents doing this course of Josie’s. Enlightening, encouraging and very exciting. It’s great to see parenting from a more positive approach and from a child’s perspective. I’m already looking forward to the week ahead to try out some more positive strategies. My boys deserve the best of me.”
— Ginnie Hoggarth, mum of two
“I wanted and hope to enjoy the time I spend with my children without fearing my toddlers next reaction to something I may have done wrong in her eyes, I want to feel like I had a toolbox of considered responses and I really, really do now!!”
— Ella Rose, mum of three
“I wish I could come and see you every Monday I want there to be more of them. I would recommend this to anyone. You are inspiring, enthusiastic, supportive, respectful yet straight talking. I really feel the key to this positive parenting practice being absorbed is from YOU!”
— Sylwia mum of two
“Josie's sessions transform, whether you're looking to deal with a specific issue, or like us, just do things right from the beginning. Reading a book will give you the knowledge, but it's only until you do her sessions that you really appreciate the interpretation and situational insight that Josie brings.”
— Mark Birri, dad of two
“Our family unit has definitely grown stronger by both parenting in a more understanding and connected way. We have become calmer, with greater perspective which enables us to utilise the methods. I have definitely seen progress, which I didn’t believe was possible! The deeper understanding I now have of my children is an epiphany!”
— Sandra Phillips, mum of three
“Working with Josie over the past three years really has been transformational. I first approached her as a (bit of a nervous) new Mum of two, keen to learn more about Positive Parenting as a concept, but really hoping to understand how I could adopt and apply this calm, kind and respectful way of parenting my girls.
Josie’s Workshops and 1:1 sessions have been invaluable, but now The Inner Circle gives us all as Members what feels like an access all areas to her ‘toolkit’ of ways to help navigate this parenting approach. As well as being part of a lovely Community of other, like-minded parents; it offers a chance to refer to Josie’s expertise and tackle the challenges that any stage in the girls’ development might throw my way.”
— Danielle
“I attended a positive parenting workshop with Josie when my son was 2yrs old. She is such an expert, so passionate about positive parenting and a pleasure to learn with. She can answer any question or talk about any scenario, never critical of parents, always supportive. I came away empowered, ready to try a new approach. I continue to use positive parenting techniques as my children get older and would recommend a workshop with Josie to anyone.”
— Julia Lyons, mum of two
“Josie is able to offer practical advice that can be put into practise immediately and with oven-times instant results. She’s my PP-guru. Her passion is infectious and there’s something new to be learned from or inspired by her everyday. She’s AMAZING.”
— Gillian F
“Have recently attended a refresher course with Josie. Just as inspirational as ever. Made me really put myself in my children's shoes, and think about their world (and not just mine). Josie gives practical real world examples to help illustrate the theory (often from her own life...Josie totally gets what it is to be a busy parent juggling it all!) Genuinely...this course has changed our relationships with our children and had such a wonderful impact on family life. thank you Josie!”
— Kelly S
“Being part of the inner circle is the perfect forum for me to continue my journey as a parent with the support, advice and tools I need to be the best parent I can. All of which is provided in a non judgmental and very inclusive environment with like minded parents.”
— Rachael
“The inner circle for me is a place where I can share my hopes, worries and mistakes without the fear of being judged but supported by parents who aren't in the same boat but who are in the same storm... “
