Making Peace with Screens and Gaming
Living in harmony with children and technology
Do you have a child that uses technology on a regular basis? Are you worried about how much your child is gaming but you don’t want to be in a policing role all the time? Find peaceful solutions for your family.
Here’s a bit about me.
I’m that person who is a bit further down the track in their conscious parenting and spiritual journey than you. I’ve been through the overwhelm, exhaustion, big emotional reactions and the waves of fear. I’ve dealt with my two sons pushing all my buttons and heading off in directions I had no road map for.
I didn’t plan to unschool or to spend my days supporting passionate gamers. In the early years I didn’t have a clue how to handle violent meltdowns, chronic swearing, social anxiety, dyslexia or my son’s insistence on freedom to eat, play, learn and grow in their own unique ways. Lets just say I have faced some big challenges and found my way through to the other side, all without resorting to any punishments, rewards or manipulation and without becoming a doormat either. In fact, the journey has been an immensely liberating one for me.
With my sons now 21 and 17 years old, I’ve now got the clarity, presence and energy to support other parents who are at an earlier stage in their journey. I’m passionate about sharing my experience and pointing you towards your own inner peace and wisdom.

Testimonials
I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to meet Freya via her online consultations. Freya is compassionate, non-judgmental and incredible knowledgeable about supporting children with unschooling and conscious parenting. She is also honest and open about her own experiences. There is no fakeness or pretense when talking to Freya. I particularly love the way Freya challenges me and offers alternative viewpoints. My online sessions with Freya have been extremely beneficial for my own personal growth as a parent and I always feel wonderful and positive after talking to her. I highly recommend Freya for mentoring, guidance or support.

Mentoring clientFood/screen time/homework & grades/exercise – now that I have let go of controlling my children I feel a lot more peaceful/accepting on the inside and I’m finding our relationship has changed dramatically. They are starting to come towards me more for connection as they’re adjusting to me ‘letting go of control’. They are more willing to respond with kindness to my request for help around the house as I’m not often going into their bedrooms interrogating them about how much food/screen/exercise/homework they have done. When I’m away from them I’m not mulling over how much screen time or ‘junk’ food have they had while I was away. I’m noticing that they are sometimes looking to regulate themselves rather than me trying to regulate them. It’s still early days but I ultimate goal is that my children will become fully self regulated and not be dependent on me to do it for them. Thank you Freya for supporting me to turn my whole concept of parenting around – I feel it has set us all free!!!

Mentoring clientFreya supported and guided me on my way of becoming a more peaceful human being and better mum. Thanks to Freya my relationship with myself improved and I became the mum I always wanted to be. To be able to question all my thoughts became one of the most important tools I have in my life. Freya’s guidance was extremely important, especially at the beginning where on my own I could hardly identify any thoughts I had, but she could pick them up right away. She helped me understand how they had influenced my feelings and reactions. I learned that by changing my thoughts I can change my life. I couldn’t be who I am today without Freya – she really brought a lot of awareness into my life and provided me with a spiritual guidance when I needed it.
I would recommend Freya to anyone who is ready to improve their life through self-inquiry and all parents who want to become the best parents for their children.

More Testimonials
The course reminded me the joyfulness and love within me and the tools helped me to tap into that. Freya’s Skills for joyful parenting encouraged me to leave my pre-conditioned thinking at the door and open my heart to joyful parenting….who knew! Her ideas were revolutionary to me, every parent should read this transformative book.
My children love the game “Kissy Cow” that was born from the time spent playing “their” games for 30min every night (Skill 5:Playtime). When asked by the teacher at school “How does Mummy make you laugh?” They replied “Playing Kissy Cow”
Really enjoyed the topic “Question your thinking” and the turn around, most of “”my” issues melted away when I started using this tool regularly. —

Freya taught me a simple way to not make my family responsible for my sadness or happiness. I have a better understanding of my roles for me and for my family and the teenage years have rolled on much happier! Valuable skills for not just the Mother/Child relationship, but for all relationships, including the one with my Husband! — Julia
