Are You Longing to Thrive as a Parent? I can help you get there!
Modern parenting can be exceptionally stressful. From navigating the mine-field of screentime to confronting climate change anxiety, our complex and rapidly-changing world requires us to rise to challenges our own upbringings did not prepare us for. As we're collectively bombarded with information and parenting advice (which can be more confusing -- and even shaming -- than helpful), busier than ever, and increasingly isolated, it's easy to see why so many of us are struggling! If YOU are a struggling parent, please know that you absolutely not alone.
When I became a parent, I was determined to change the patterns of reactivity, emotional dismissal, and performance-pressure that were cultural norms of my childhood. I had a vision for the peaceful, loving, emotionally-intelligent parent I longed to be....but was crushed to find it was MUCH, MUCH harder than I had ever dreamed. By the time I became an isolated single-parent during the pandemic I was absolutely fried, and began my long journey of learning, self-discovery, and support-seeking that led me to transform my approach to parenting and begin to offer support to other parents.
As parents, we need to be seen, heard, and supported on our way to finding more ease, connection, cooperation, and joy in our relationships with our kids. That's where a good parenting coach can come in! With a blend of compassionate listening, nervous-system know-how, and a finger-on-the-pulse of the latest research about developmental psychology, I can help you to:
- Create more peace and connection with your kids as we sleuth out and ease patterns of reactivity (ie the stuff that makes you blow your top!)
- Become more aware of what really matters to you as a parent and reduce parental stress by shifting towards your true values
- Cultivate self-compassion and self-care in service of you and your child/children
- Clear out false beliefs from childhood that block your ability to show up for your kids and yourself
- Master tools for improving communication with your kids and loved ones
- Feel seen and heard by a loving, non-judgemental listener (which you probably didn't have when YOU were a kid!)
With love and support, we can heal as parents and offer a better road forward for our kids (and a happier life for ourselves as well)! Let's do this!
