About me
Hi, I’m Allie, the creator of tea & sympathy and a dedicated mum of two, with over twenty five years of experience in early years & education.
Being a mum is the most rewarding job in the world, but boy does it come with some challenges!
I understand how overwhelming parenting can be, Which is why I offer non-clinical guidance, listening sessions, peer on peer support and ZERO judgement.
Because every parent deserves the chance to be heard.
