Parent coaching
Transforming leadership and
wellness into parent
coaching
Hello and welcome! I’m Josette Calleja, a certified coach, a passionate executive and wellness specialist turned parent coach. My 25 + year journey in the world of corporate culture and leadership coaching has taken a pleasant turn, guiding me to my true purpose-supporting parents to help their children thrive.
Alongside my executive experience, I have also spent the last 25 years immersed in wellness, specifically, yoga, mindfulness and fitness along with being a reiki practitioner. I’ve embraced these practices with a personal quest for self growth, enriching connections and to galvanize resilience which I believe to be a necessary life skill, especially in the realm of parenting!
It wasn’t until I embarked on my own parenting journey that I truly understood the profound impact of leadership skills within the context of family life. The collaboration skills, the vulnerability, the self awareness work and showing up authentically were paramount in my parenting journey.
However, despite the above, my personal parenting journey is still marked by its own set of challenges and triumphs. I, like many others, face moments of uncertainty, exhaustion, and self-doubt. I got the closest to depression I have ever had been in my life trying to navigate my own child’s unique challenges. Yet, as I continue to work through this incredible adventure, I see the skills and principles I honed as an executive coach and as a wellness specialist to be profoundly relevant to the world of parenting.
Now, as a parent coach, I draw from both these areas and combine them with my personal parenting journey, along with the latest research in connected and conscious parenting to provide comprehensive coaching to parents like you.
My parent coaching mission
My mission is to help parents unlock their parenting wisdom so children grow with confidence, self-worth and thrive in their own uniqueness, no matter the circumstance.
I know the profound love that comes with parenting, and I understand the deep desire to be the best parent you can be. Our coaching sessions will help you tap into your innate parenting wisdom so together we enable strong familial bonds through what I call the fundamental pillars of parenting: connection, authenticity, acceptance and belief in your child, AND just as importantly, belief in yourself! I keep it real because I know parenting is hard, and we’re all doing our best, after all, there is no perfect parent, there is no perfect child.
My sole purpose is to empower parents with the belief and acceptance that their children are extraordinary individuals. Whether our children come to us as neurodivergent, emotionally heightened or just don’t meet the expectations we hold for them, it is our duty as parents to rise to the challenge and support our call to action.
My goal is to serve the child through the parent. I am dedicated to supporting parents on their journey, providing them with the tools and guidance needed to help their children thrive.
If this resonates with you, I invite you as parents, single parents, or co-parents to step into courage where together we can unlock the next steps of your parenting potential.

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

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!
