A safe space for single mums navigating life after trauma, healing from the past, and finding strength to thrive again – one day at a time.
About Me
I know what it feels like to start over after trauma, while raising children and working in a demanding career. Through MumDoc, I share my journey, practical tools, and honest insights to help other mums not only survive but thrive in the face of life’s challenges. You are not alone, and healing is possible – one brave step at a time.
Your First Step Towards Healing
When you’ve lived through trauma, the hardest thing isn’t always the pain — it’s the numbness. The freeze. That blank, paralysed state where even simple tasks feel impossible. I know this place well. I spent over a year caught in and out of freeze states, unsure how to move forward, let alone heal. What saved me wasn’t grand plans — it was someone gently telling me what to do next. One step. One small action. A voice of kindness cutting through the fog. Over time, I learned how to break my freeze response with simple grounding techniques and gentle, practical steps. That’s why I created MumDoc — not to offer perfection, but to say: “Here’s your next step.” Because sometimes that’s all we need to begin again.

The Loneliness of Single Parenting
I became a single parent three, nearly four years ago. My children were just two and five at the time — still babies in so many ways. And anyone who has children knows: those early years are relentless.
The Night I finally said … I’m not OK …
It wasn’t straight after my marriage ended that the real trauma hit. It was months later. In those early weeks, the practical chaos left no room to feel — the paperwork, the logistics, the day-to-day survival with two small children. I was in what I call the “numb zone.” On the outside, I looked fine. On the inside, every night once the kids were asleep, I collapsed into freeze mode.
