Does sound like you?
Tense and on edge
Exhausted and can’t switch off
Stressed and overwhelmed
Feeling like you’re chasing your tail and constantly on the back foot
Irritable, snappy
Burning out
Carry feelings of guilt around all day
Disconnected and distracted all of the time - you are there, but not really there
Lying in bed awake, even when their blood sugars are in range
Feeling like you have lost yourself to diabetes management
If so…
These all point in one direction - a dysregulated nervous system and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mastering regulating your nervous system and thinking patterns is hands-down the most effective way to buffer the impact of the relentless demands of diabetes management on our wellbeing.
Diabetes is always going to be throwing curveballs, pulling us into survival mode. We need to have ways of getting ourself back out of this state or we stay stuck there.
This is exactly why I created the C.A.L.M T1D Parent Experience. Knowing what to do, when and having support to do it is a game changer.

What’s inside
Using my signature C.A.L.M framework you will be guided through how to:
C. Connect with your body
Understand exactly how T1D parenting dysregulates our nervous systems and develop simple, practical strategies to regulate your body. Know how to recognise your nervous system state and match your strategy to this so it actually does what you need it to do.
A. Act with intent, and aligned with your values
Reconnect with the part of you that’s been hiding under all of the T1D management. Recognise the traps you have fallen into and create a life where diabetes gets demoted to passenger status.
L. Lean into your emotions
Often we are trying to push our emotions away, without realising this is part of the problem. Discover how to actually use your emotions to help create the shift you need.
M. Mindset cultivation
Identify the unhelpful thinking patterns keeping you stuck and master powerful cognitive strategies to cultivate a mindset that allows you to attend to their T1D with less stress and more headspace.
Mastering regulating your nervous system and thinking patterns will enable you to be the T1D parent that you want to be, without sacrificing yourself.
The C.A.L.M T1D Parent Experience helps you to master this in as little as 10 minutes a day.
What becomes possible when you become a C.A.L.M T1D Parent

Dr Nicola
Hello! I’m Dr Nicola.
I’m a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Coach.
Most of my career has been spent helping adults adjust to their life experiences.
I’ve worked in public and private health services in both the UK and Australia. Right now, I’m based in Scotland.
I became a T1D parent in 2021 when my daughter was diagnosed. Like us all, it was a shock to the system!
Type One Sanctuary has grown from my desire to use my lived experience as a T1D parent and my professional experience to make a difference to T1D parents and help them to buffer the impact T1D has on them.
Your questions, answered
Do I need to understand nervous system stuff first?
No, this is covered in the content. You will get everything you need, in plain language to help you to know enough about the nervous system to be able to know when and what to do to regulate your nervous system and calm your body. As little jargon as possible, and definitely no science qualification required!
I’m completely exhausted. Will I have energy for this?
The C.A.L.M T1D Parent Experience is designed for exhausted parents. Short lessons, flexible pacing, and live sessions you can engage with from your space - mess, chaos and all.
Will this make me drop the ball with my management of my child’s T1D?
Some people worry that being less hypervigilant and less on constant alert will mean their standards will drop in their management of their child’s T1D. What they often don’t realise is that our bodies being in survival mode constantly negatively affects our ability to think clearly and flexibly which is a risk to our ability to be the T1D parent we want to be. Becoming a C.A.L.M T1D Parent actually helps you think more flexibly and strategically and have more capacity to deal with the relentless demands of T1D management.
What if I can’t make a live session?
My plan is to record the live sessions so there will be a library of replays that you can listen to in your own time.
When does the programme start?
The first live call will be Friday 2nd October 2026.
You will get instant access to the Members Portal which houses the pre-recorded content as soon as you enrol. Please note as this is the beta version of the programme I am actively creating this content as I go but I aim to always be a week ahead so the pre-recorded content is ready for you as you need it.
Upon enrolment you can join the Facebook community first away alongside Dr Nicola and the other founding members. This will be a space to connect, support and motivate each other. It’s about lifting each other up and creating a positive and supportive community of people who get it.
Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely. You will have a 14 day money back guarantee if you decide that it’s not for you.
This will allow you to complete a pre-recorded module and attend the first live session. If it’s not for you, email us on support@typeonesanctuary.com for a full refund
How long do I have access?
As a Founding Member you get lifetime access to the programme. This includes access to all future updates to the curriculum.
You survived their diagnosis.
Now it’s time to get out of survival mode.
You manage the relentless demands of T1D parenting every day - the carb counting, the dosing, responding to the alarms, treating the lows, checking their ketones…I won’t go on because there’s not enough space on this page!
These won’t change. Diabetes is going to demand what diabetes demands. It will always throw us curveballs. There will always be days when it kicks our butts. It will always humble us quicker than anything else on this planet.
Becoming a C.A.L.M T1D Parent isn’t about somehow making diabetes less demanding. It’s not about you never being affected by the relentless demands it places on you. It’s not about never feeling stressed, agitated or on edge (no programme in the world can offer you that). It’s about giving you a way of noticing when the impact of T1D has led you into a pattern of dysregulation, and empowering you with the wisdom and tools to get yourself back to a place of regulation. A place where you have more capacity to deal with T1D management and live your life with more calm and presence, with T1D as a passenger in your life and you firmly in the driver’s seat.
The bridge from where you are now to this place of increased regulation has been built and is inside the C.A.L.M T1D Parent Experience. The doors are open! And right now, for a limited time, a founding members spot is yours to claim.
⏳ The doors close on Saturday 26th September 2026 at 23:00 (BST) or as soon as the available spots are all taken. When the doors close, the founding members pricing disappears, and the programme will never be offered at this rate again.
