Happy Baby

Gain clarity and confidence in your parenting
to raise a resilient, independent & joyful baby

As a new parent, it's completely understandable to feel lost, overwhelmed, and anxious,
especially if you're far from your home country, your family, and your friends.

I was overwhelmed with all the information people around me were providing me with, books that I was reading and information I was reading online on how to raise a child. The feeling of overwhelm is the worst when it comes to your baby, because then you feel like you are not doing enough and your baby will not be raised well because you didn't do enough.

After birth you realize as a mom you have the main responsibility to raise this human being who solely depends on you - where do you even start? Especially when your whole family is away, in a different country...

I was feeling I had no idea what to do with a baby...

I felt a bit overwhelmed, like he was on the cusp of many things but I didn’t know what!

I was feeling rather at sea in terms of practical mothering;

I hadn't done much reading about development, and I was overwhelmed whenever I tried to. I don't have much experience with babies, and don't have many friends with babies at the moment, so I was feeling at a loss and quite anxious.

Everyone else seemed to know what to do except me.

As a mum, I was not feeling confident in my motherhood always doubting myself.

I started reading books - thick books about baby development, but by the time i had finished them, my baby was already past the milestones I had been reading about.

I had no idea what I was doing and if I was missing something.

At the end of the day, we want to know that we are doing the right thing for our babies and giving them the best start to life.

You are not alone, and your feelings are valid.
Parenting is hard, it does not come with a manual, nobody is a "natural" parent
and it's okay to feel self-doubt and overwhelm.

What if you...

  • could change that narrative and become more confident in your parenting skills?

  • had the exact knowledge you needed, at the time you needed it, to better support your baby’s development?

  • knew exactly how to handle your baby - to boost their confidence and help them fulfill their potential?

  • knew how to communicate with your baby to empower them, build them up & strengthen linguistic capabilities?

  • had the tools to set up a "yes space" at home for your baby - a space, where your baby could feel a part of the family & thrive in?

  • actually enjoyed the precious first year of babyhood, instead of questioning yourself and wondering if you are "doing it right?"

 

Wouldn’t that be amazing!

This can be your reality. All it takes is the first step.

So, take a deep breath, acknowledge the incredible job you're already doing, and join us on a transformative journey with the Montessori Mastermind Workshop series.

What past participants are saying

"I really really enjoyed the classes and I have learned so much from them. I feel so much more confident as a mom, this also reflects everything I do for my baby. I applied the majority of the things that was discussed during class at home - its still not perfect of course - but getting there. I see my daughter is growing and changing.
I started enjoying raising her. I think it all came with me being more confident in my motherhood."

"It was a huge relief to have such a lovely nurturing space to learn about baby development, and to be guided in ways in which to support that. Having a framework for thinking about baby development is hugely helpful, as is having practical activities to do and provide for my baby to support her development."

"We were always able to share personal experiences during class that was also really nice.

I loved the printouts I have them in the living room I re-read them time to time."

"I feel that it is an amazing approach that connects conscious parenting and parental vision of upbringing independent individuals. The course inspired me in so many ways to introducing seemingly minor changes to our daily life that had profound consequences on how I look at motherhood. Each session had a clear topic and all of them were interesting. You led the course with such positive energy and non-judgemental approach, thank you for this."

Hi, I’m Mags,


Founder of Academicus, AMI Montessori trained guide, mum to 2 incredible kids I've been raising using Montessori & conscious parenting principles ❤️

As a first time mum, I couldn’t wait to meet my baby.

But when she finally arrived, I just didn't know what I should be doing with her...I felt lost. Even more so, as COVID had just locked the entire world down and being a first time mum with that happening in the "background" was so incredibly scary.

I got so many recommendations and so much advice. 
 
I was spending hours on social media, reading books and following other channels researching for the "best", most appropriate activities, but wasting so much time doing that ... robbing myself of the quality time I should have been spending with my baby and in the end, the information I did get was dispersed and not tailored to my baby’s needs.

I felt so incredibly frustrated and guilty, that I didn’t know enough. That I wasn’t enough.

All I wanted, was to have systematized knowledge about my baby’s development and recommendations for developmentally appropriate toys and activities in one place.

That is how I became an AMI trained Montessori Pedagogue, specializing in early childhood 0-3yrs. 
Goodbye overwhelm - hello empowered motherhood!

Everything I learnt in this two-year-long full time training, I have been using with my own children - and I have never looked back.

My first baby has transformed into an eloquent, strong and determined young child, unafraid of new challenges, in love with life, independent and confident.
My second baby, with his fierce and fiery heart, is achieving milestone after milestone, taking each new challenge in his stride - and I know exactly when and how to help, support, intervene - or not.

Since then, I have been sharing my Montessori knowledge & extensive experience, by working with new mothers 1:1 and in Mastermind groups, in this exciting and overwhelming season of their life; I have created and run my signature mummy and me sensory classes and conducted workshops about early childhood development.

Now, I would love to work with you, to give you the knowledge & tools that you can use every day, to help you better bond with baby, help them adapt to this new world and enable you to confidently support your child’s development.
 
Be the mum you’ve always known you could be: confident & calm, raising a thriving baby.
