A Kiwi mother-of-two says a technique called "vibrating" and feeling good can improve your financial situation, and is telling how in her first book.

Lisa Folland's The Attractive Mum looks at how using the principles of the "law of attraction" can improve self-esteem, relationships and even the financial situation of everyday mums.

Struggling to cope with a lack of sleep, motivation and "me" time, Folland says she discovered the key to turning her life around.

"I was exhausted and overwhelmed with two babies under 2 so I decided to get my life back on track."

She says it's about attitude, setting goals, healthy eating, exercise and looking after your finances.

Along with tips from typical Kiwi mothers, the book also has interviews with several well-known women about how they have juggled family and business success.

They include fashion designer Annah Stretton and TV presenter, business owner and designer Sally Ridge.

They embody the characteristics of an Attractive Mum, says Folland - confident, happy, healthy and fulfilled.

A former school teacher, Folland credits "the law of attraction" for helping her publish the book for less than $500 "as people and opportunities presented themselves and helped make my dream a reality".

Having lost her mother to cancer, Folland is to donate half the profits from the sale of the first edition to charity Look Good Feel Better.
