About  Flourish   for  Mums

Motherhood carries an unexpected, yet evolutionary path of self-development and self discovery. The weight of social media, societal expectations, and an ever-evolving concept of what it means to be a good parent plays heavily on the minds of mothers. Flourish for Mums: 21 ways to thrive with self-care and acceptance is a much-needed circuit breaker.

  • 21 essential wellbeing principles to release ‘mother guilt’, embrace acceptance, and feel self-empowered.
  • Inspires mothers to cultivate inner strength and lifelong wellbeing, offering simple, yet powerful self-nurture strategies.
  • A necessary guide for mothers to step into a new zone of selfcare – honouring themselves and accepting their worth whilst celebrating the children in their lives.
  • Allows a mother to feel understood and valued as an individual, who is also fulfilling a mother role, with its many joys and challenges.
  • The perfect gift book for all mothers – especially Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Get Well soon, New arrival (whether it be a brand-new mum, or mum welcoming another child)

Seeta McDonaldEarly childhood & Primary school teacher - Mother and Stepmother

“This book is so timely and yet I wish I had it for my own first years as a mum almost 17 years ago. The pressures we put on ourselves to be perfect, to meet unrealistic standards while juggling family life, careers and relationships is unsustainable. Sonia’s beautiful book is a chance to stop and recalibrate. Beautifully written and with easy to follow ideas. I love the way she weaves her own journey as a mother into the narrative, it’s honest and real and so easy to relate to. A must read for any mum.”

Tina Harris aka Lah-Lah

After working with a large number of mothers, I have noticed they all have one thing in common: they are really, really stressed out.
