Authentic Over Calm · Your 14 Day Breathwork Journey to Create More Space
You don't need to be a calmer mum.You need somewhere for it all to go.
Hands up who's running on empty right now?
It's go, go, go. Too much on. Too many things. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you're trying so hard to stay calm for your kids.
It's a common myth that a regulated parent = a calm parent = a calm and regulated child.
But this isn't how our nervous system works! And, if you've got kids, you'll know it's not how most days go either!
Who we are
Hi, we're Eleanor and Emma, two mums and the co-founders of The Reconnected.
The Reconnected is a global parenting movement. Over 110,000 families have joined us, more than 172,000 parents follow along on Instagram, and our community does this work together in The Reconnected app.
We combine science (Eleanor is a counsellor, play therapist and breathwork practitioner with a background in psychology) and spirituality (Emma is a breathwork practitioner and yoga teacher who founded the community New Earth Mama). Together we help parents find simple ways to parent that make their hearts sing.
Many parents want to feel peaceful and calm, but the reality is that parenting is HARD and brings up HARD emotions.
So we push them down. We put a mask of calm over the frustration, the overwhelm, the "I haven't had a minute to myself in months"... and we tell ourselves we'll deal with it later.
But there is very rarely a "later". So it builds, until it comes out anyway. Exploding. Shutting down. Blaming. And then the guilt arrives.
Our kids get the message directly from our nervous system, so the mask of calm confuses them... and holding it all in drains us.
What our kids really need is authenticity! (And no, we don't mean emotional dumping, which is quite different!)
You don't need to be a calmer mum. You need somewhere for it all to go.
If you're stuck in a cycle of knowing how you WANT to parent, but holding it all in, exploding and then feeling like a failure...
Your 14 Day Breathwork Journey is your "later".

Course breakdown
Bonus: The Authentic Over Calm Course
The Myth of Calm
In this module we bust the myth that circulates in conscious and gentle parenting circles: that our kids need us to be calm, and that good parents are calm parents.
You'll learn where this myth came from, why it's so popular and how it ties into the myths about regulation.
You'll also hear our own stories, as mums of eleven children between us, of learning about "calm" and nervous system regulation.
The Truth About Regulation
Learn what TRUE regulation is and what it ISN'T.
Get an in-depth understanding of the basics of the nervous system (the Autonomic, Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems).
See ways to down-regulate and up-regulate, and WHY knowing how to move between these states helps.
The Truth About Co-Regulation
What co-regulation is and why it's so important.
Learn how co-regulation plays a part in your child's nervous system, what the myth of "calm" and the "I should" voice do to your ability to regulate, and what happens to our kids when we try to stay calm.
Becoming Authentic
By this point you've learnt the myth BEHIND calm and the truth about regulation and co-regulation. Now we show you what it means to embody authenticity.
Hear Eleanor's examples of practising authenticity in the Play Therapy room.
Learn how your authentic response is the key to regulating your children, and HOW to do this on a practical level.
"I have COMPLETELY healed my poor frazzled nervous system. I have joy and calm and peace in its place. Because of this I am able to connect with my family in a whole new way. Because I'm not constantly exhausted and quick to be reactive"

Emma and Eleanor, two mums with eleven children between them and decades of personal and therapeutic practice
Eleanor Mann
Eleanor is a mum of five, a registered counsellor, play therapist and breathwork practitioner. She came to breathwork when her own kids triggered her more than she ever expected. Years later, she burnt out and realised she wasn't raising her kids the way she wanted to. Making space for her own feelings is what brought her back. She holds a BA in Social Science (Counselling), a BA in Psychology (Hons), an Advanced Diploma in Breathwork and a Graduate Diploma in Child Centred Play Therapy, and has worked with parents as a counsellor, breathworker and play therapist for over a decade.
Emma Johnston
Emma has been known as New Earth Mama for many years. She's a mum of five and stepmum to one, a self-published author, a breathwork practitioner with Mastery in Rebirthing Breathwork and a Kundalini Yoga teacher. Before her first son, she was a model who felt anxious and lost. Becoming a mum made her want to do things differently, and breathwork is how she found her way back to herself. Now she lives the path of conscious living with her family on the East coast of Australia.
And don't just take our word for it!
