Welcome!

I'm Laura

I'm the founder of Extra Roots Transformational Parenting. I’m also a mother of three small children, juggling a career, intercultural marriage, and life abroad. 

I was called to the Jai Transformational Parenting program when I sensed a shift in my own home, an increase in tough times, and a decrease in my own capacity. Like many, this was triggered by the pandemic. But I knew there had to be a way to change this- and the parenting books just weren’t helping. No matter how much I read late into the night.

I was intrigued to become a transformational parenting coach as I was deeply committed to shifting dynamics in my own home to support empowered relationships. As I saw my home transform immensely under transformational parenting principles, I had a profound realization that parenting did not have to be so hard for me, or for anyone.

Once I understood how possible it was to build a relationship with children based on mutual trust, promoting kindness and compassion, I became committed to supporting other parents in this life-changing work.

I believe all children deserve to be guided and loved by the best version each of us has to offer them, as parents. And that each of us deserves to parent from a place of strength, calm, and love.

I know that you want to be a loving, peaceful parent that has a meaningful, connected relationship with your child. Sometimes, connections are lost, things get hazy, and priorities get skewed. Bringing attention and awareness to this, with supportive knowledge and tools, can guide you towards reestablishing a strengthened relationship with your child, based on deeper understanding, and connection.
