Parenting
Parenting is a wild ride - an exhilarating, exhausting, rewarding, heartbreaking practice asking us again and again to self-reflect and course-correct.
Once you’ve figured out one challenge, a new phase you know nothing about with its own nuances is already underway. Highs and lows, joy, sadness, anger. The love. Oh, the love. And the hurt. All of it. Normal.
To be able to see your children clearly and understand what it is they need while knowing and honoring yourselves requires real presence. The commitment to being the parent we want them to remember asks us to grow up, over and over again.
It asks us to learn grace as we stumble. To allow ourselves to be human, even in their innocent eyes. To communicate authentically and parent consciously. This constant dance enables us to nurture our children in their becoming while simultaneously evolving right alongside them.
SUPPORT FOR PARENTS
Frankly, we all need support in this awesome and overwhelming parenting endeavor. Having been in therapy for half of my life and having taught and worked with so many different kinds of families, it was only after being coached as a parent myself that I was forced to really question my long-held assumptions.
My own parent coaching empowered me to weave tenderness into my firm boundaries, and acceptance into my expectations. Most of all, I embraced a truth in my parenting I’d never personally known nor knew was possible. Bringing me closer to myself and closer to my girl, than ever before.
HOW IT WORKS
In my coaching practice, we start from where you are. From your values. I’ll ask you to be radically honest with yourself, in sharing both the ugly and the joy. I want to hear about times you shine, when you fail and how you repair. I’ll ask the difficult questions you may not have even thought to ask yourself.
My aim is to support you in being more vulnerable, open, mindful and clear. To help you honor your relationship with your children while being true to both your feelings and theirs - finding the balance of nature and nurture.
I deeply believe in everyone’s ability to parent well, despite their past or lack of experience (living proof myself). I’m here to help you be your most loving self while you raise your children to be exactly who they are meant to be.
