Move Through Your Parenting Journey with Intention

Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Parenthood Coaching for parents who want to embody a life of clarity and joy

You set out on this parenting journey because you were ready... 

To pour love, attention, and energy into a tiny human being.

To explore your identity as a parent and step into this new version of you.

To experience the magic of witnessing the growth and evolution of this kiddo.

And then, it happened. It became your reality. And there is so much you didn’t expect and weren’t fully prepared to adjust to.

  • Your body and relationships are changing 

  • You worry more than ever before

  • You’re not sure what your child needs 

  • Your needs aren’t being met

  • You yell more than you’d like


And sometimes, you really miss your old life (for the record, this is so normal). 

It can feel like your sanity as a human and success as a parent is dictated by how your child eats, sleeps, and conforms to behavioral expectations. 

Which leads you to expend endless energy seeking solutions to bring you and your child in line with where you “should” be.

And underneath, there might be this perpetual fear that you don’t have what it takes to create the reality you want for yourself, your child, and your family.

One in which you feel prepared, present, and able to enjoy the life and family you’ve created, and can hold confidence that you’re helping your child develop the skills necessary for success.  

Here’s what I want you to know…

You can feel confident in your choices on your parenting journey. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or navigating life in the terrible twos and beyond. Successful parenting and childhood outcomes are rooted in deeply-connected and secure parent-child relationships. And the quality and continuity of that relationship is the key to the experience and outcomes you want.

So, how do you get there? How do you find your way to that outcome?

Through support, information, and guided reflection from someone who can help you think more deeply about what’s happening for you, your child, and your partner. Then together, we’ll translate that into action.

 

As a Parenting Coach, I’m here to:

  • Help you to understand the role of the parent-child relationship in your child’s biological, psychological and social development

  • Reflect on how unconscious thinking and internalized expectations are showing up in your thoughts, feelings and behaviors

  • Support you in clarifying your goals and visions for pregnancy, postpartum and parenting in early childhood

  • Teach you about the biological, psychological and social components of child development

  • Teach you about the biological, psychological and social changes for parents that accompany pregnancy, postpartum and the early childhood years

  • Identify your concerns, challenges and the things that are holding you back and learn how to use this awareness to move through your barriers

  • Hold space to process, feel, express and regulate all the feelings you cycle through on your parenting journey

  • Offer practical tips for responding to challenges and supporting your child’s needs and development

  • Guide you to discover how to integrate parenthood into your existing identity and to prioritize your own needs into this all-consuming stage of life

Is 1:1 Parenting Coaching for You?

The answer is yes if you want to…

  • Be nurtured, cheered on and supported in your parenthood journey

  • Feel more confident in yourself, your parenting, and your relationships

  • Prepare for labor and delivery and postpartum

  • Be able to set healthy boundaries 

  • Gain coping skills to navigate the challenging moments

  • Reduce yelling and reactive behaviors

  • Nurture your child while supporting their emerging independence

  • Slow down and be present with yourself, your partner and your child

Coaching is incredibly personal. My commitment is to meet you where you are in your journey, and as such, outcomes will vary depending on your goals and your family’s unique way of being.

However, many parents find that working together brings:

  • Confidence they are doing what’s best for themselves, their children and their family

  • An ability to sort through the abundance of parenting resources with direction and ease

  • Feeling equipped to handle changes and challenges

  • Greater attentiveness to the individuality and uniqueness of all family members

  • Freedom from worry and guilt

  • A deeper connection to their children, their partner and themselves
