From then until now..
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
My name is Nic Wilson and I live in Australia with my beautiful daughter. It’s just the two of us and that’s perfect. Here is a little of my journey so far…
WHERE I STARTED
I discovered the paradigm of Aware Parenting, a beautiful type of attachment style parenting about 8 years ago (as at 2024), when my daughter was about 3 years old. It spoke straight to my soul and I resonated deeply with the approach, in a way that the traditional ‘domination’ style parenting hadn’t up until this point.
This old and unfortunately still very mainstream style of parenting, where babies children’s feelings are completely ignored, power over is used to control them with the use of rewards and punishments as discipline and they are not trusted to know what they truly need for their own growth, because they are ‘just a child’.
This was the only way I had learnt up previously, and to be honest, it was not working for us at all.
We were extremely disconnected, both sad and upset most of the time and struggling to maintain any form of balance in our lives.
I was recovering from a very rough pregnancy, where I vomited the entire 9 months and following a 35-week check-up, I was admitted to hospital for 2 weeks of forced bed rest. Delivery by an unwanted C-section because it was discovered, I had pre-eclampsia, that she wasn’t feeding well from the placenta and she was in the breech position.
All in all, it was a far cry from my ideal pregnancy and birth!
Traumatic to say the least and I felt completely powerless during the entire experience.
Now that she was here, I was getting zero sleep, she cried non-stop all day and night. I felt so alone and even though I had my beautiful family around, I was wearing a mask and saying that everything was ok. I was severely disconnected to my own sense of being and a shell of my former fit and happy self.
This continued on for two straight years and after a painful separation from her father, we really were at rock bottom.
This truly was my awakening…
WHERE I AM NOW
It was this incredibly difficult time of my life, that birthed me onto this beautiful journey that I continue on today.
A journey of self-discovery, self-love, intense and incredible healing and releasing, of not just mine, but also my daughter’s past traumas and pain, through the theory and techniques of Aware Parenting and the practices and processes of the Marion Method.
I am a trauma-informed Parenting Mentor and a Level 1 Aware Parenting instructor, certified with the Aware Parenting Institute, Marion Method Mentor and Teacher.
I am also passionate about supporting families who have separated, single parents, school and day care support and advocating for your child in challenging situations.
I am also able to enjoy a amicable relationship with her father and continue our healing journey, as we walk the path of co-parenting together.
AWARE PARENTING
I wholeheartedly believe that Aware Parenting is a philosophy of parenting that has the potential to change the world.
Based on extensive research in child development, Aware Parenting questions the more mainstream views of domination or authoritarian parenting by understanding that babies and children have real feelings and need to express them, just like any adult. It focuses on healing past traumas and hurts and being able to hold space for our children to listen to their feelings.
Aware Parenting has 3 main aspects being Attachment Style Parenting, non-punitive discipline (no rewards or punishments) and it also recognises that crying, laughing and raging are natural stress release and healing mechanisms available to us all.
Aware Parenting raises children who are more cooperative, loving and empathetic. I have seen this first hand in my own parenting journey with my child.
The Aware Parenting journey gives us a beautiful chance to connect deeply with our children, with each other and with ourselves and our own internal being.
It allows each of us to be seen and heard as the individuals we are and to give and receive love to each other from a place of full spaciousness.
It is incredibly empowering to be able to stay connected to her, offering Loving Limits when necessary, so I can ensure my needs as well as hers, are being met in the moment, with love.
She responds in wanting to be more cooperative, caring and compassionate.
Aware Parenting really is the true heart in the middle of Domination (using power over) and Permissive (not meeting our needs as parents) styles of parenting, which always leaves one party feeling powerless.
By working to heal our younger parts at the deepest level (with the practices and processes of the Marion Method – see below), re-parenting and re-culturing ourselves to be more loving and compassionate, we in turn give more of our spaciousness and unconditional love to our children.
I became an Aware Parenting Instructor in early 2020 and feel so honoured to be able to share this incredible philosophy with the world.

THE MARION METHOD
The second part of my journey came when I was introduced to the Marion Method by my dear friend, mentor and colleague Marion Rose. You can find out more about Marion and her amazing work here.
About 8 years ago (as at 2024), I had a New Years Willingness Session with Marion and it was during this incredible 3 hour session that I fell in love with the Willingness work and the Marion Method.
Shortly after, Marion created an offering called A Week of Willingness and it was here that my heart and soul were about to come alive and more deeply connected than ever before!
The Will module was my first introduction to these incredible practices and processes and a way for me to live life from my Slug Wisdom (as Marion calls it) – my true Yeses and Noes.
It was this week that completely revolutionised how I approached life, from this moment on.
The Marion Method is a psychospiritual model which is a combination of 3 parts including Love, Will and Conversations with Life. It holds that we are each a unique Soul, deeply interconnected with all that is.
Through this work we are invited to look at all of the conditioning and patterning that our personality (some call this the ego) has taken on from the Disconnect Domination Culture (DDC as Marion calls it) and that we have picked up over the years, including the many ‘emotional sticks’ as Marion calls them of shame, guilt and judgment.
We are invited to give unconditional love to these younger parts of us that show up when we have big feelings, through the Inner Loving Presence Process, so that we can lovingly heal and release them and offer them reparative phrases and experiences instead. The more we are called to do this, the more our personality gradually becomes a greater and more authentic reflection of our Soul.
As I dove deep in to the essence of this work, I realised
I loved it so much that I decided to complete the Marion Method Mentor Training in 2022 and am now a certified Marion Method Mentor and Teacher!
I deeply respect and love every single part of this psychospiritual framework and I now help and support many mentees to bring this incredible work into their own lives, witnessing great transformation for them as well.
What I truly love, is that Aware Parenting and The Marion Method go hand in hand during mentoring sessions.
I will always be very clear what is Aware Parenting and what is the Marion Method, but have found such incredible changes in how we can use both of these modalities to really alchemise our lives beyond what we thought was possible!

WHERE TO FROM HERE
It is my soul’s calling to share this information on Aware Parenting and The Marion Method with the world and to support and walk alongside as many human beings as possible, to help them heal and thrive in their own parenting, re-parenting and re-culturing journeys.
As we function in this world that really expects a lot from us all, I want to support people with really tangible and practical strategies to enhance their enjoyment in life and deeply connect to their children, partners, others and themselves.
I am so willing for all of us to break free from the Disconnected Domination Culture and remember and reclaim our true power.
I want everyone I walk with to know the power of Aware Parenting and The Marion Method as ways to really live your most inspired and authentic life!
