What is The Joyful Parenting Project?
Parenting isn’t meant to feel like you are in constant survival mode.
It can feel joyful. Light. Connected.
The Joyful Parenting Project is a guided 8-week program for families ready to bring more calm, connection, and play into their everyday lives with their kids.
You’ll explore playful tools like yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, different ways to include simple and effective play into your daily routine, stress and time management skills and emotional regulation — all things you can do with your kids… but also just for you. Because you matter, too.
The difference with this program is it will be tailored to you and your family because I genuinely believe there is not one way of doing things or a particular parenting style to follow as you, your children and your circumstances are unique. So let me support you to parent and live a more joyful, playful, connected and authentic life with your little people.
Through live Zoom sessions, mindful activities, and supportive coaching, you’ll feel more grounded in your role as a parent — and supported in who you are, too.
This is for you if…
- You want to feel more present and joyful in your parenting
- You’re craving calm amidst the chaos
- You want tools to support your and your child’s emotional regulation
- You long for moments of meaningful connection and play
- You need permission and structure to prioritise your own well-being
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a seasoned self-care lover, this container will meet you exactly where you are.

Why I Created The Joyful Parenting Project
Hi, I’m Rachel — a mum, yoga teacher, and founder of Shine Om and Shine Om Natural.
I created this program because I believe joyful, connected parenting should feel possible. After years of teaching mindfulness to kids and families — and walking my own wild, wonderful parenting path — I know the power of simple tools, shared support, and slowing down.
This container is about giving you permission to soften into parenting with more grace, humour, and presence.
This is a container I wish I had when I first became a mumma — and I can’t wait to offer it to 6 beautiful families in this first round.
Words From the Shine Om Community
“Your work helped me slow down and connect deeply with my kids.”
“Our family rituals are calmer and lighter now — thank you!”
“It’s amazing what a few mindful moments each day can do.”
If you are feeling called to learn new tools, have someone hold you as the parent (you are already holding so much, so let me hold you), develop your skills and bring more joy, flow, and fun into your family life then this is for you.
Parenting can feel joyful. Let me show you how.
Spots are limited — We start in the final week of July.
I look forward to connecting with you.
