Last night, I had a new experience as Miss Mummy: I delivered my first shared online session with two little ones! It was a lot of fun, I must say, and I am so grateful to the two adorable littles who came along to share the space with me.
It was very sweet the way they interacted. One was a boy, the other a girl, and somehow, without anyone saying anything, they just naturally settled into a sibling-like dynamic. It felt like they had known each other forever, and that made everything feel really special.
From these two littles, one was well known to me and the other new to me. That meant I had to be very mindful and make sure that they are comfortable with me and with each other in this situation. My priority was making sure they both felt safe, included, and able to enjoy the moment.
The Magic of a Shared Session
I can say that there are many positives in having a session with two littles at the same time!
First of all, the energy is completely different. With two participants, the dynamic naturally becomes interactive and full of playful energy. Of course, it’s my job as Miss Mummy to bring that energy to life and to organise the session so that it remains fun, balanced, and inclusive for both of them.
Another beautiful aspect is the social interaction. In an individual session, the little one interacts only with me, which is lovely and special in its own way. But in a shared session, there’s also the added element of friendship and playing all together. The littles don’t just connect with me; they connect with each other, which creates an entirely new level of fun. I love seeing how they responded to each other, either with as a team, or simply sharing the moment together.
There’s also something fascinating about how the energy of the session can change and evolve. It’s not just me leading the situation but there is also the combined energy of the three of us. Sometimes, that energy aligns beautifully, and we’re all in the same playful mood. It can also happen that one little wants to do something different from the other. That’s when I have to be extra attentive, understand the situation and their needs, and gently guide the session so that no one feels left out or overwhelmed.
Balancing Attention in a Shared Session
Of course, a shared session is not quite the same as a one-to-one session with me. When it’s just the two of us, you receive 100% of my attention, and everything is tailored directly to you—your moods, your needs, and your feelings in that moment.
In a shared session, my attention is naturally divided, meaning that you’ll receive less direct focus than in a private session. However, I work hard to ensure that my engagement is balanced so that both littles feel equally nurtured and cared for. I want to create a space where no one feels left out and where the energy between you is one of friendship and play, and not competition or struggle for attention.
Even if there are two littles at the same time, I want you to make sure that I actually see you, that you may be part of this team but my intention is also in making you feel seen and valued as an individual!
You might have different needs at the same time, different energy levels, or even different emotional responses to what’s happening in the session. Part of my role is to notice those shifts and gently guide the session so that everyone remains comfortable and included.
Synchronizing activities is another key part of my job in a shared session. I need to make sure that whatever we do works for both of you and that no one feels pressured into something they don’t enjoy. There’s a bit more unpredictability in these sessions because emotions can change, and unexpected feelings may come up. That’s completely normal, and I am always here to help with emotional regulation if needed.
Privacy and respect are essential. If you want to share something personal during the session, I will always aim to be sure that it’s done in a way that makes you feel safe and comfortable, and we would have made some previous agreements of respect and confidentiality.
Is a Shared Session Right for You?
Yes, shared sessions do have a bit more complexity compared to a private session. And yes, they can be a bit more energy-demanding for me because I have to balance multiple needs at the same time.
But they also bring something different and exciting to the table!
One-to-one sessions are deeply personalized, with a strong emotional bond, and more flexibility to adjust to your individual moods and needs in the moment.
Shared sessions have a bit less direct intimacy, but they offer more social engagement, which can be a great learning experience—and a lot of fun!
And of course, a shared session costs exactly the same as a one-hour session with just me, so it’s a cost-effective way to enjoy time with me while also sharing the experience with a friend.
The requirements for you to be able to book a shared session online (apart from being over 18 years of age, like everything else) is that at least one of you has session with me before and that you know the other little you are doing a session with. If you want a shared session but don't have a partner to do it with, you can let me know and I can put you on a list so I might be able to introduce you to someone before you both decide if you want to attend a shared session online. Shared online sessions last 1 hour, as we need time to feel fully settled and find the best way to engage, as you receive attention and engagement.
