Ready To Become The Mum Of Your Dreams?
Motherhood is incredibly hard… but it doesn’t have to be.
I offer private mentoring for mums at all stages of motherhood — whether you’re newly postpartum, deep in the chaos of early years, or years in and quietly wondering “Is this it?”
This is for mums who want to feel happy again.
Confident again.
And more like themselves – not a burnt out version running on guilt and survival mode.
Because motherhood shouldn’t feel like something you just get through.
It should feel like something you live and enjoy.
And it absolutely can be.
Maybe this is where you are right now…
You’re doing your best, but it never feels like enough.
You care deeply about your children, yet you feel disconnected from who you used to be.
You want to be a calm, present mum… but you’re exhausted, emotional, and stretched thin.
You feel guilty for wanting time and space for yourself.
You wonder how other mums seem to manage it all.
And sometimes you quietly ask yourself:
“What happened to me?”
You don’t want to just survive motherhood.
You want to enjoy it fully – while also feeling like you.
You don’t need fixing – you need space.
Motherhood is beautiful.
But it’s also intense, emotional, and full of pressure.
So many mums (including me once) carry guilt, stress, and self doubt like it’s just part of the job.
But it doesn’t have to be.
With the right support, motherhood can feel lighter, calmer, and much more fulfilling.
And that’s what I help you create.
Hi, I’m Ivana!
I’m the founder of Mumsjourney, author of Motherhood – The Unspoken, and an award-winning mentor.
But before any of that, I’m a mum who once felt completely lost in motherhood.
After giving birth to my twins in 2016, I experienced severe postnatal (postpartum) depression.
It was the worst time of my life.
I struggled silently for almost a year… I was smiling on the outside while falling apart on the inside.
But through that journey, I learned something powerful:
Motherhood doesn’t have to (and shouldn’t be) filled with stress, exhaustion, and sacrificing your life.
It should be an extension of your life, not the core of it.
Today, I help mums move out of survival mode and into becoming the mums of their dreams.
Not the mum your mum, sister, cousin, neighbour, uncle, or doctor want you to be…
The mum you want to be.
Through our mentoring, you will become a mum who…
❤️ feels calmer and more emotionally balanced
❤️ trusts herself and her parenting decisions
❤️ prioritises her needs without guilt
❤️ stops worrying about what everyone else thinks
❤️ has time and energy for the things she loves
❤️ enjoys motherhood instead of constantly feeling overwhelmed
❤️ is raising happy children while also fulfilling her own dreams
Not someday.
Now.

But don’t just take my word for it…
“I struggled really badly with each of my 3 daughters. Ivana’s support gave me strength back and allowed me to see things differently. It is also thanks to her I am now a different person, more relaxed, and loving mum. Thank you Ivana for being here for us, mums who are tired and stressed. Thank you for giving us the strength to get up and never give up!”- Ivana Barancikova, Mum of 3
“Ivana has a deep passion for helping mothers. Having experienced motherhood struggles herself, she goes above and beyond to ensure you’re well supported and able to see hope for the future. If you’re struggling yourself, Ivana is the person to turn to!” – Anya Bellinger, Mum of 2
“Ivana’s passion for empowering mums in all aspects of their life is amazing. Such a warm and knowledgeable woman who makes you feel like anything is possible….. you just have to be prepared to put in the work and trust the tools she teaches you, they are invaluable!! She has supported me in removing Mummy guilt, it was almost instant!! and I am so excited to continue the journey with her. I would recommend her to any Mum who is feeling stuck in their life!” – Holly Durrant, Mum of 2
“Ivana has made a HUGE difference to my outlook in general and especially my mindset. I have suffered for years with feelings of insecurity and feeling that ‘I’m not good enough’. It seems unbelievable that Ivana can change such firmly entrenched negative beliefs, but I am here to tell you it is true! They are gone! Ivana is amazing and working with her is life-changing. To top it off she is a warm, compassionate, beautiful person who instantly puts you at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – Mel Graham, mum of 2
“I started seeing Ivana to help with my postnatal anxiety and to help me move past my traumatic birth. I found Ivana extremely easy to talk to. By the end of our sessions it felt more like being able to confide in a good friend. I felt like she completely understood and empathised with everything I had to tell her and it felt good to know you had someone who you could tell everything to and who would give you advice, support and who wouldn’t judge you. I found her really really helpful.” – Hannah Sawford, Mum of 1
