Becoming Your Own Parenting Expert
I'm the Parenting Coach for Moms, helping YOU to LOVE spending time with your AMAZING kids. My approach is a unique combination of life coaching, somatic work, and connection-based parenting.
Join me as we increase your confidence and trust in the parenting skills you already have and help you to turn inward for answers. You'll be amazed at the changes you'll see in your kids, as we focus inward, instead of on them. Let's make parenting simple.
You're in the right place.
You're not alone.
The effort is worth the reward.
"It will take just one generation choosing gentle, compassionate, respectful parenting to change the world for all future generations. Let's do our part to change the world, one little heart at a time."

Welcome to Parent School
- Leave the scripts and how-to's behind and get to the root of parenting challenges: why we're triggered by our kid's behaviours and how to heal
- Increase your parental intuition: lean into your own personal authority and create parenting solutions as unique as the child they're for
- Ditch the outside opinions of what your parenting "should" be like, and parent in your unique way: living life in your own way, with confidence and ease
- Understand how to utilize you and your partner's unique strengths in parenting, even when they are different (they usually are)
- Parent School is offered as a group program or one-on-one through individual coaching
Client Stories
Before Coaching… I knew I was a good mom, but I wasn’t doing all the things that I wanted to be doing in parenting. Things sometimes felt like a burden. I knew it was time to turn things around. I was reading all the (parenting) books everyone told me to read- and it didn’t feel like it fit for me.
Now… I do it differently now than a lot of the books say, but I feel way more connected to my kids. I trust myself instead of “the books”. I feel like I know what to do. I have more compassion for myself and for my children. I feel way more at peace when I go to bed every night. I feel more confident in my life in general.

What Parent School Looks Like
This experience runs twice a year, in January and August. The next group begins on January 30th. Groups are limited to 6 participants.
Workshops
Workshops will be held every other week and will teach you everything you need to know to leave you feeling confident in your parenting and life. They are approx 2 hours.
Group Coaching
Integration of what we're learning is the MOST important thing. Group coaching in each of our workshop calls will help you to integrate and feel supported by a community of women on the same journey as you. There will be 3 additional group coaching calls, so everyone gets a chance to be coached.
One-on-One Coaching
Parent School "Group" Option includes 2 individual coaching opportunities where we will work through your specific struggles and create a vision plan for your parenting journey. Parent School also has a "One-on-one" option, which is for participants that want a more individualized and intimate experience. It includes all group calls, as well as bi-weekly individual coaching throughout the program (partners included on 1:1 calls if desired). Both options are very effective, and whichever one you feel called to join will be right for you.
Member Area
Even if you miss some calls- integration and learning happen every step of the way. Past participants noticed significant changes even when they were able to only watch recordings. You'll get access to the recordings and meditations, and can keep all calls even after the program is over.
6 Workshop Modules
Thoughts & The Power of Our Mind
Thoughts create our feelings and fuel our actions. Thoughts are the basis of all sustainable change. We'll learn and integrate tools to help shift things in our life and parenting in huge ways, all through our thoughts.
Becoming Shame Resilient
Some thoughts are easier to change than others. "I'm a terrible mom" or "Maybe I'm adding to generational trauma, not healing it" can feel really painful. Shame can be healed and moved through, but it takes more than just thought-work. We will learn, heal and come away feeling empowered to help our children do the same.
Emotional Regulation
One of the most common struggles we have as parents is feeling our emotions, without reacting to them. This is also one of the top skills we want to teach our children. In this module we will learn to do both, with supportive somatic tools we can use ourselves and teach our kids.
Learning Isn't Linear
Learning doesn't go from 1 to 2 to 3... its important to circle back and learn things again. In this module we will review our past learnings, go over current challenges and leave feeling more grounded in the changes we are seeing in our life and parenting.
Intuition and Self-Trust
We are our own secret superpower. We all have parental intuition (and life intuition). We are tuned out, as a society, of our own inner power and authority. In this module, we dig into self-trust, and inner magic (intuition) and learn how to create unique and amazing solutions in our parenting.
Teaching Through Connection
When we parent through force (rewards, yelling, bribes, punishment) we don't create the type of future relationship we're looking for, and our kids don't listen and respond well, over time. Learning how to harness the power of connection, instead of coercion, will heal our relationships and improve our children's behavior over time as well.
