FLOURISH FOR MUMS

“Sonia shines a light for us all to know that the power lies within us to ‘flourish’ at any time we choose. She gives valuable insights that empower us to become the best version of ourselves and for this I am grateful.”

– Tory Archbold
Founder and Director of Powerful Steps and Torstar

“This book is a beautiful reminder of the importance of mothers investing in their own self-care as part of their daily routines. Inspirational yet practical, Flourish for Mums will dramatically impact women who are navigating the challenges and responsibilities of motherhood while staying true to themselves.”

– Peace Mitchell
Co-Founder The Women’s Business School and AusMumpreneur

“Flourish for Mums provides 21 invaluable insights and tools for mothers to understand their value. A healing, loving, practical guide, Flourish for Mums is simple, yet beautifully written, creating a safe place to explore self-care as integral to raising children.”

– Susanne Gervay OAM
Author, Regional Advisor Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators

“This compassionate, wise and soulful book cuts to the heart of motherhood, and the journey we women take as we lose and then reinvent ourselves. It’s the ideal handholding companion for any mum, but especially those starting the journey.”

– Michelle Mitchell
Author – Speaker – Educator

“I would recommend Flourish for Mums as a wonderful, supportive companion on the journey through motherhood and selfcare. Simple, soulful, sacred messages for you as you navigate self-discovery, awaken to consciousness and guide yourself through to clarity and connection to what’s important to you. A beautiful gift for any occasion. An insightful and grounding read.”

– Josephine Zappia
Holistic Health Practitioner and Health Writer

“Flourish for Mums is an uplifting guide for mums who are navigating though the emotional roller coaster of motherhood! It’s full of real-life anecdotes and practical tips to help women to pause, reflect and nourish. It’s like having a chat with your best friend! A must have guide for mothers who are wanting to embrace self-love and care.”

– Seeta McDonald
Early 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

“Mothers tend to put everyone else’s needs in front of their own. Flourish for Mums changes that and encourages mothers to actively engage in their own self-care without feeling guilty. Bravo! This is the book I wish I had when my babies were small.”

– Katrina McCarter
Founder & CEO, Marketing to Mums and Mum of three

“Thank you Sonia for capturing the joys of motherhood and reminding us of the power of self-love. This is a book that you will want to read time and time again. I found myself smiling, laughing and sharing knowing nods with each chapter.”

– Lisa Harrison
Mother of two, Senior Executive

“As a psychologist I see firsthand some of the more difficult experiences that come with being a mum. After working with a large number of mothers, I have noticed they all have one thing in common: they are really, really stressed out. Sonia’s Flourish For Mums fills in the missing pieces, by giving mums an easy-to-understand guide to the important but often challenging motherhood journey.”

– Funda Yolal
Principal Psychologist and Director of Tiny Terrors
