Welcome to Barefoot Wellbeing and Parent Coaching
Hello my name is Cindy, I believe in a grounded and balanced approach to life,
hence the name Barefoot. I am a qualified and licenced relaxation, wellbeing and
parent coach based in the heart of the New Forest.
Barefoot Wellbeing and Parent Coaching was launched in January 2017 following
the closure of Children's Centres and a noticeable decline in parent and wellbeing
support being offered across the New Forest.
My aim is to offer something refreshingly bespoke to meet peoples individual needs, as everyone has a different journey and priorities in life.
My aim is to help you, no matter what age, to shine bright with confidence and direction. I pride myself on a confidential, non judgmental and nurturing service.
Some people describe themselves as feeling stuck, not able to put their finger on it, but wanting to reignite their inner sparkle and sense of wellbeing.
Others feel they need support to change a current issue or behaviour (for them or their children), to help them regain a sense of balance and control in their lives once more.
Whatever your need I can help navigate you through these complexities to help you reach goals, find solutions, reboot your thinking and habits so you can unlock your potential.
Having a grounded approach to coaching ensures you are able to bring balance and a sense of peace and
control back into your life.
Please go to the Barefoot Journey section for more information.
