I’m Nikki

the founder of The Scottish Soul Sister and I support parents to gain the confidence and clarity to cut through the noise and overwhelm to raise their family on their own terms. 

Living in four countries outside of my home of Scotland shaped me both personally and professionally to bring you an honest, humorous approach with no sugarcoating and no scaremongering.

My own experience of Post Partum Depression and Anxiety when my son was born in 2017 was the catalyst to becoming a coach, speaker, author of Homebird and creator of the award winning digital resource Stepping Into Parenthood.

Guiding you to meet your own Six Human Needs with Simple, Sustainable Selfcare.

Soulful support for the messy, beautiful reality of parenthood.
My Story
A book titled 'Nikki Steele Osborne HOMEBIRD' with a white cover decorated with pink polka dots and a logo at the bottom, placed on a pink surface.

Homebird Now Available!

Homebird is not a success story. It’s not a rags to riches tale.

It’s a messy, real, funny and ever evolving account of the decisions I made, the chances I took and the lessons I learned along the way.

Leaving Scotland to live overseas was never the plan, it was supposed to be a six-month trip.

Four countries, two businesses, one husband, one dog, and one son later… I’m still figuring s#!$ out.

Language barriers, homesickness, self-doubt, being kicked in the arse by post partum depression and anxiety and endless bureaucracy in countries that were never on my life map and wondering often if I was off my head... but doing it anyway.
