Esther Mbabazi is a coach for mums who snap, shout or lose control with their children, even when they know how they want to respond. She runs a program called The Yell Less Formula. Her work looks at what happens inside a parent before the shouting starts, including the thoughts the brain adds in stressful moments. She also helps mums recover after a bad moment without spiraling into guilt.
What Esther helps with
Esther works with mums who know what calm parenting looks like but cannot reach it when they are overwhelmed. The focus is on catching the reaction sooner and recovering faster.
- Shouting or snapping at children in stressful moments

- Noticing your reaction earlier, before it turns into an explosion
Who Esther works with
Esther works with mums who love their children but feel like a different person when overwhelmed. They often know the right response afterwards but cannot reach it in the moment. Many feel most reactive around noise, rushing, homework, repeated instructions, whining and mealtimes. She also works with mums of preteens.
How Esther works
Esther's work is built around The Yell Less Formula. She separates two things: What is happening around you, and what your brain is doing with it. Clients learn to spot the thoughts that make a moment feel urgent or threatening. The aim is to notice the reaction sooner, have more choice in what happens next, and repair after a hard moment without shame. She does not use scripts to memorise. Her work uses brain-based techniques.
