About Arnaum

A lifetime of supporting families with compassion, wisdom, and live experience.

The Journey That Shaped My Mission

For more than 50 years, I have dedicated my life to helping families create stronger relationships, clearer communication, and more harmonious home environments.

My journey began in the 1970s as a Child Care Worker, where I saw firsthand how children flourish when they are given the right balance of love, guidance, boundaries, and support. That early experience sparked a lifelong passion for working with children and families, which later led me to become a counsellor and parenting educator.

But no amount of professional training fully prepares you for becoming a parent yourself.

When I had my first son in the 1980s, I experienced the same challenges many parents face — sleepless nights, exhaustion, overwhelm, and moments of self-doubt. Parenthood was far more complex and emotional than any textbook could explain.

Life also brought its own personal challenges. I experienced two divorces and spent years navigating single parenthood while carrying the emotional and practical weight of raising children through difficult seasons. There were times I felt lost, drained, and unsure of myself.

Those experiences shaped me deeply. They taught me what it means to rebuild, to heal, and to keep showing up for your children even when life feels hard. They strengthened my belief that parenting is not about being perfect. It is about being present, self-aware, and willing to grow.

Today, I share a beautiful life with my husband Ben, and together we raised my two sons through their teenage years — another chapter full of learning, stretching, and growth. Now, as a grandmother, I have the joy of watching the next generation flourish, which continues to deepen my commitment to helping families thrive.

My Mission

My mission is to support parents in building confidence, emotional awareness, and strong communication so they can create family relationships grounded in love, trust, and respect.

I believe every family can grow toward greater harmony when parents are given the right support, tools, and understanding.

My Approach

My work blends practical parenting guidance with emotional support and personal transformation.

I help parents to:

Each child and each family is unique, so my approach is never one-size-fits-all recipe to parent and guide a child through their life.. I offer personalised support that meets you where you are creating awareness and confidence in their parenting abilities and nurture their ‘’Child Within’’ to also grow and heal..

Testimonials

What Clients Are Saying

"We had the incredible opportunity to work with Arnaum, and it had truly transformed our family dynamics. As parents of two energetic boys, aged 4 and 5, we often found ourselves overwhelmed and unsure of how to effectively address their unique needs and behaviours. Arnaum's guidance was nothing short of miraculous.

From the very very first session, Arnaum made us feel understood and supported. She provided us with practical, easy-to-implement strategies that immediately resonated with our boys. Her insights into child behaviour and development helped us see our children in a new light, allowing us to connect with them on a deeper level.

Arnaum's compassionate and non-judgmental approach created a safe space for is to openly discuss our challenges and triumphs. She tailored her advice specifically to our family's needs, which made a significant difference in how we interacted with our boys. We noticed positive changes almost instantly - our home is now filled with more laughter, cooperation, and understanding."

"I was recommended to see Arnaum because I didn't know what to do about the disturbing nightmares I was having. There were times when they were unbearable, and I was afraid to sleep at night. Arnaum was really open and understanding about these dreams and it was interesting because we unraveled them together, which have we a deeper understanding about fears I was having. The disentangling of these nightmares resulted in an acceptance of deeper fears and feelings I was holding on to. I have struggled with self esteem issues in the past but thought I was past this. Arnaum got me to understand what the main issues were through communication and special techniques (HNLP). I loved that I could use me imagination, and the different methods were enjoyable. Comparing Arnaum's assistance to the help of counselors or physiologists in the past, I can now really understand that helping myself can be an enjoyable thing and something that doesn't have to be depressing. Spending time with Arnaum was like unravelling or peeling back layers of my past in an easy and stress-free way. It wasn't uncomfortable at all. Usually after treatments with her I felt airy like I had gotten rid of a heavy stress and I could move on in my day happier and more content with myself. I've always had a huge phobia of spiders; it began at a young age and grew to be something quite ridiculous and out of hand. I found myself looking around rooms in a paranoid state, in case there could be one around. Arnaum lessened my fear, I still think about them occasionally and I will never love them, but I am more comfortable now and I don't think about it as much. I feel better in myself because of seeing her. I encourage people to be open to this type of process. It is not like you're talking to a stranger, you feel listened to and warm to her quickly.

"Arnuam, wow - I have coached you for 18 months now and I've always seen your passion, wisdom, and deep desire to support parents...today to be on the direct receiving end of your gifts and the other side with you coaching me, was potent, beautiful and life altering.

The open, calm, and supportive space you hold made me feel so safe...I felt seen, held and encouraged. From my heart to yours. Thank you. It's been one of the most challenging weeks for me as a parent. And to be given such incredible tangible steps that we can take immediately to shift the dynamics and support Brooklyn has made a massive shift in my thinking, and my actions moving forward.

I know the wisdom you shared will be incredibly powerful for all of us in the coming days and weeks and I am truly grateful. I highly recommend Arnaum to any Mumma or Dad who is needing some support in their parenting...your support is so needed Arnaum.

None of us got the instruction nook on how to master the parenting gig (My own Mum would remind me of this often), but like any life and business skill, being coached will always make a difference and enhance our decisions, actions and movements.

Arnaum is a massive asset for any parent at any stage xx

"We are so glad that we met Arnaum she has played a huge role in our lives, she has given back to me my confidence as a mother, wife and friend and always available in assisting us in skill development and finding always new ways in problem solving. She had really helped us to re-educate our thinking and to understand more of the little ones. Our relationship skills have improved tremendously between me and my partner and of course my kids. With Arnaum years of experience and expertise she really understands what's happening and why, I call her my "Angel Supernanny". Since my friends have seen a huge change in Michael friends and family are now ringing asking me for the number of my Angel Supernanny for their troubled loved one. It's good to know that your friends believe in you and just want the same things as I did. Thank you so much my Angel!

Kind regards Lina

"My son Beau was 20 months when I spoke with Arnaum about how to gently get him to settle by himself at bedtime. Arnaum's confidence he and I would be able to do it along with her gentle strategy helped us enormously. Beau has been happily going to sleep in his own room on his own many months now and I feel it has given Beau confidence and made our family life at bedtime a whole lot more relaxed.

Thank you Arnaum! Leah and Beau
