Without conscious effort, the parenting methods that we have inherited can create a constant battle with our children instead of fostering connection. I say “inherited” because most of us naturally parent the same way we were parented growing up, which we are now realize creates conflict, frustration and endless power struggles. Leaving us with broken, disconnected from our children and feeling powerless and defeated.

No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, or how done with parenting you are, there is hope. It can be difficult to see a different way forward but I promise you it is there. I can help you find it.

I am a certified parent instructor, coach and child life coach.  I am married, with two lovely, strong willed, emotionally sensitive, (want to be) independent girls. They keep me on my toes all the time, and I love them dearly. They are in everything from dance recitals/competitions to swim classes and two separate girl scout troops, when you throw my job in the mix… it can be a lot.  As a kid I was diagnosed with ADHD, as a coping mechanism I became super organized and a critical thinker.  I love solving problems… however there was one problem I couldn’t solve… parenting!

I couldn’t figure out why I was always yelling (and sometime popping), forcing my kids to “do as I say”, auguring with them, and having a constant battle every time we had to leave or do something different.  It was frustrating and I didn’t like the relationship that I was building with them.  I knew there had to be a better way.  That’s when I started to dive into all of the parenting books I could find, but nothing worked… every time I got upset, I went right back to my old habits.  Until I found my parent coach.
 
The missing piece to the parenting puzzle was finally found, and now I have a newfound relationship with my kids, that is built on connection, unconditional love, boundaries, and mutual respect. Is everything perfect every day? Absolutely not. However, the stress and frustrations have gone down significantly. I love my journey so much, that studied to become a parent coach myself.  I believe that there is no such thing as a perfect parent, no one has it all together, all the time. The most important thing to understand why we parent the way that we do, and discovering what kind of parent you want to be. I’m here today to guide you on own life-changing journey, and to provide you with skills and tools to can use along the way.

I believe that children as well as parents need to be respected and have a voice. Kids need to have a sense of autonomy and individualization, this helps everyone to become a team and work together. Which is necessary when you have a chaotic schedule.
