Calm & Connected Carer
Regulate your calm. Reconnect with yourself. Reclaim your joy
What if you could feel calm, connected, and confident again — even in the midst of uncertainty?
​
Caring for a neurodivergent child can be one of life’s greatest gifts… and also one of its most challenging experiences.
​
You give everything — time, energy, patience, love — you get no acknowledgment and still go to bed wondering if you did enough!
​
And somewhere along the way, you’ve forgotten what it feels like to breathe deeply, rest easily, or simply be your authentic self again.
I understand — because I’ve been there too.
Hi, I’m Samantha Wittenberg, a life coach, speaker, storyteller, nature lover and mum to a young autistic woman.
My journey began with a dramatic turning point when my teenage child became suddenly aggressive and frighteningly possessive of me.
Bewildered and heartbroken, I embarked on a profound quest to understand Autism and my child’s unique needs.
I know what it’s like to live in a constant state of alertness, trying to manage your child’s emotions while ignoring your own.
I remember the loneliness, the guilt, and the exhaustion that came from caring without enough care for me.
I’ve learned that caregiving is a marathon, not a sprint — and that mindset and a willingness to look beyond the obvious difficulties to a deeper purpose, are essential to the journey.
That’s why I created the Connected Carers Course — to help you find your centre again, without guilt, overwhelm, or another item on your to-do list.

Why this matters now
​
Without support, even the strongest, most devoted carer burns out.
Chronic stress doesn’t just drain your energy — it impacts your health, your relationships, and your ability to connect meaningfully with the person you care for. Over time, resentment, fatigue, and self-doubt take over.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can restore balance, feel grounded, and show up from a place of peace — not pressure. When you’re calm, your loved one feels safer too. That’s the power of co-regulation.

" It was so soothing to be in a group where people were able to empathise with each other. I felt incredibly safe and welcomed by the all members of the group.
When I got home my daughter's carer said “you are very relaxed “ . I really felt relaxed after a long time. "
