Become The Kind of
Parent You
Want To Be
If parenting is
not what you imagined...
And if you aren’t the parent you imagined you would be.
Do you sway with your child’s ups and downs and yearn to be more rooted in your parenting, and yourself? Do you seek to project more love and kindness in your parenting? And towards yourself?
Are the parenting books you are reading just not “sticking” or translating into the changes that you are looking for?
Parenting is the most complex and difficult task in life,
and
it’s never-ending. It’s a challenge to not get overwhelmed, to not lose yourself in the never-ending tasks and demands, in your child’s needs, in the outside pressures, and the list goes on. Add to the mix other competing priorities such as a career, and it’s easy to see how we sometimes find ourselves parenting on a low or empty tank. It isn’t sustainable. And it isn’t fair to ourselves or to our children.
In times of stress, we can unconsciously revert to the way that we were parented, which is deeply instilled in us. Yet, the authoritarian way many of us have been taught, or socialized to parent, creates conflict and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children. When we parent our children without working through our own history, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different. Stress can trigger us to revert to unwanted ways of parenting or to seek a quick fix, such as a bribe or threat- even if we know these don’t work, even if these strategies exhaust us and sadden us.
Without conscious effort and redirected energy our parenting methods can create conflict instead of what we are all deeply yearning for: connection- grounded and loving. And peace in the home.

It’s Never Too Late to
Turn Things Around
No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope. You and your child(ren) can still shift, in ways that you never knew were possible, but that you may have dreamed of.
Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. Sadly enough, we don’t receive an owner’s manual at our child’s birth. We all start from scratch, leaning on those around us for guidance, and learning by doing. We trust our instincts, we follow our nose, and we try to do our best. Yet, we are faced with a daily struggle, a struggle on how to get everything done that we need to, or want to, how to manage the day-to-day (and sometimes night) needs, and to find any space, whatsoever, for ourselves. Losing sight of ourselves in it all happens.
But with understanding, support, and the right tools, we can find a place for us to coexist with our child(ren) in an environment based on trust, respect, love, and connection. Through consciously modeling these traits to our child(ren), we will receive them in return. We can step out of power dynamics and learn to breathe through it. And thanks to neuroplasticity and mirror neurons, our children’s behavior, attitudes, and perspectives can shift-
before our eyes. It’s possible. But you need to start from somewhere.
The traditional
‘power-over’ model
of parenting
isn’t working.
It makes you feel like you’re not doing a good job. It makes you feel powerless, and lost, and just increases your stress.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us
long
to be, so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods, or methods that are used and “approved,” in our societies.
Which is why I invite you to take a big step towards change. Towards
transformational
change. Through
the Jai 12-Step Transformational Parenting method, you will be guided through uncovering unconscious parenting habits and behaviors that are not serving you, and how to release them. In their place, you will learn tools and strategies that will support you in and out of your parenting challenges, to create not only a stronger connection with your child but a more peaceful you. Because you matter. Your child is a reflection of you- let’s have that be your best self.
In my one-on-one coaching support, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgmental openness, and a personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
How It Works:
When you book a discovery call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
So that you can begin your journey of change.
And take the first step towards becoming the kind of parent you strive to be.
