Our Philosophy:
Wiseheart Compass (Wisdom, Compassion, Guidance)

Honoring family support professionals with wisdom.

Cherishing parents with compassion.

Our Programs:
Mindful Awareness Parenting (MAP) and The Welcome Mat are secular approach to parenting that integrate attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, self-compassion and mindfulness practice.

Mindful awareness helps to cultivate secure parent-child attachment relationships (via sensitivity, responsiveness & consistency to the relationship needs of children and adolescents).

Mindful awareness is a trainable skill and has proven emotional, physical and social benefits which promote parental wellbeing.

Self-compassion has excellent research support and is integral to repairing relationship disconnection with children & adolescents.

Wiseheart Compass Philosophy

Wisdom Compassion Guidance

At Wiseheart Compass, we believe that every caregiver—whether parent or professional—carries the wisdom and capacity to nurture secure and meaningful relationships. Through evidence-informed programs like Mindful Awareness Parenting (MAP™) Time-in
and The Welcome Mat™, we empower caregivers to reconnect with their confidence, compassion, and intuition. Relationship repair with mindfulness and

self-compassion is at the heart of what we do.

TheWiseheart Compass programs are not therapeutic in nature, but offer guidance, practical tools, coaching and science backed education to support caregivers within the general population to build secure relationships with their children.

Cultural Respect

Acknowledgement of Country

I respectfully acknowledge the Barngarla, Nauo, Wirungu and Mirning people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live and work, on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Growing up here has deepened my respect for this country—including bushland, waterways, native plants, and animals—and for the cultural wisdom and connection of the Traditional Owners. I honour their enduring ties to land, waters, and community, and pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
