Confident parenting and acceptance
I believe we need to keep parenting real. While it must be our top priority, we still must fit it into the construct of our daily life which isn’t easy. My coaching focuses on what I consider to be the most meaningful and transformative pillars of parenting:
- Creating a deep connection
- Parenting with authenticity
- Acceptance and belief in your child
It sounds simple at a glance, but as parents we all know that to achieve this, we need to unravel some complex emotions that prevent us from accessing the parent we want to be.
Often, our parenting is consumed with uncertainty, guilt, chaos, and frustration. But I promise you, it doesn’t have to be this way.
I take parents from a place of uncertainty, fear and frustration to a place of confident parenting, and acceptance of your child, even when it’s hard.
My coaching is for you if…
You’re needing guidance in strengthening your child/parent bond.
You’re uncertain about your parenting choices and their impact.
You’re struggling to navigate emotions in the presence of your child’s behaviour.
You’re struggling to communicate with your child.
You’re struggling to accept and believe in your child as they are.
You’re bringing judgement to parenting rather than understanding particularly if your child is ADHD.
You’re faced with a new parenting situation such as co-parenting or single parenting.
What you’ll gain…
- Effective communication skills to encourage trust and emotional intimacy
- Resilience to navigate inevitable parenting challenges and strategies to build resilience in your child
- Authenticity in your parent/child relationship to foster a genuine and open relationship
- Connection techniques to create deep and meaningful connections even in your busiest moments
- Individualized parenting goals for your family
- An individualized parenting plan for your unique story

Discipline without connection breeds resentment, but discipline with connection fosters growth and understanding.

A safe place for parents to feel seen and heard
My parent coaching provides a forum for parents to be seen and heard, no matter the circumstances. I will provide you with profound support to navigate your complex emotions and concerns, so you become equipped to ultimately help your children do the same.
I also strive to take the guilt and shame away from parenting, after all, perfect parents don’t exist, nor do perfect children. What can exist, is your own unique parenting path that works for your life right now. For you, and your child.
This is different for everyone because children are all unique and we all have different family/life dynamics. Working together, we will customize the right parenting approach for your circumstances while remaining focused on galvanizing your parent-child bond.
My ask is that you come prepared to be vulnerable and open so that together, we unlock your parenting potential!
