Welcome to the Mindful Parent Hub
The Mindful Parent Hub was co-founded by myself, Gemma, and Sima Rahman-Huang, founder of Artists Apothecary, from both professional experience and personal understanding of how overwhelming parenting can feel.As a parental wellbeing coach — and a mum myself — I saw how many parents were struggling in silence with stress, emotional overload, and burnout, with very little space to pause, reflect, or be supported. Together, we wanted to create something different: a supportive space where parents could focus on their wellbeing, using art therapy techniques to help you switch off.
The Mindful Parent Hub is dedicated to empowering parents with the tools, support, and guidance they need to raise children with intention, compassion, and mindfulness — while also protecting their own mental and emotional health.By joining our parent wellbeing workshops, you give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and connect with others who truly understand the realities of parenting. This time for yourself isn’t a luxury; it’s a powerful step in preventing parental burnout and restoring balance.Each session blends mindfulness practices with creative art therapy techniques, led by Sima, offering a gentle, hands-on way to calm the nervous system, switch off busy thoughts, and reconnect with yourself. No artistic experience is needed — just a willingness to take a little space for you.After a hugely successful year running three full workshop series last year, we’re excited to be returning this February — now across three locations, making our parental wellbeing support more accessible than ever.The Mindful Parent Hub is a nurturing, non-judgemental space to learn, grow, and be supported, while prioritising your own wellbeing alongside your family’s.Because calmer parents create calmer homes — and you deserve support too.For more information and to secure your booking
What parents say
“The improvements I saw in my mental state made me sign up for the second series. Repeating some of the exercises was so positive. Not only was I reminded of the valuable lessons, but I could compare my responses and see the transformation I had made. My art journal mapped the increase in my wellbeing.I absolutely recommend Gemma and Sima’s workshops to any parents that feel like they are struggling. The Mindful Parent Hub gave me a safe space and the tools to move away from burnout, apathy, and anger to instead create hope, joy and possibilities.”
Week Eight: Building in Small Habits and How to Stick to Them
This final session is all about you! We want to hear what’s showing up for you as a parent or what areas you need more support with.
Week Seven: Your Wants and Needs & Self Portrait
The forgotten self! When was the last time you thought about what you need, beyond being a parent?
Week Six: Working Out Our Core Values as Parents & Bridge Drawing
Why core values matter? We will help you dive into the importance of defining your core values as a parent. Your values act as a compass, guiding your decisions, boundaries, and parenting style.
Week Five: Why We Shout at Our Kids and How to Stop & Family Tree Collage
Do you find yourself snapping at your kids, your partner, or even yourself? Shouting can feel like a quick release, but it often comes at the cost of connection and trust.
Week Four: Parental Anxiety & Painting Music
Do you find yourself overthinking, losing sleep, or imagining worst-case scenarios? Anxiety is the body's alarm system, designed to keep us safe—but as parents, it can sometimes go into overdrive.
Week Three: The Parental Stress & Feelings Landscape
Parenting stress builds up fast, but understanding how it works can help you break the cycle before burnout hits.
Week Two: Parental Plate & Emotional Colour Wheel
As parents, we keep adding to our plate—school commitments, work deadlines, family needs—without taking anything off. No wonder we feel overwhelmed! But how do we set boundaries without guilt?
Week One: Parental Burnout & Journaling with Art
Are you experiencing persistent exhaustion, feeling detached from your children, or questioning your parenting abilities? You might be experiencing parental burnout.

Coping with holiday stress
With the festive season about to start, and Christmas and New Year around the corner, it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed and less excited than you’d like. Responsibilities, worries, and endless to-do lists can lead parents to stress more and enjoy less.
