Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women we’re lucky enough to know, work with, and call friends.
A special shoutout to all the incredible foster carers and adoptive mums — honestly, you are amazing. The love, strength, patience, and sheer determination you show every day is something else.
We’re in Egypt right now and they are really celebrating over here — wine, cake, red roses… and we are fully embracing it.
So here’s to all the brilliant women out there — strong, caring, funny, resilient, and just amazing. Hope you’ve all had a lovely day and have been spoiled a little too.
Happy International Women’s Day ladies — you deserve it. X

Big things are happening at LifetrainUK!

We’re officially launching our ATTUNED Therapeutic Parenting App in April — and this week we’re in the recording studio laying down one of the most important foundations of all: Attachment.

This app is being built for real life, not textbooks. It’s going to be packed with practical guidance, bite-size learning, tools you can use in the moment, and a library of resources to support parents, foster carers, adoptive parents, and professionals to feel more confident and more equipped.

We honestly can’t wait to share it all with you. Watch this space… April is going to be a game-changer.

What an incredible week!

We’ve had an amazing time working alongside the brilliant MyChoice Children’s Homes staff and The Hazel Project foster carers, all of whom have successfully completed the Theraplay element of their Therapeutic Practitioners Award.

There’s been so much fun, laughter, learning, and connection throughout the sessions — exactly what TheraPlay is all about!

Huge well done to everyone involved — your energy, commitment, and enthusiasm made the week truly special. Great effort, team!
