Read more about Parent Coaching: Raising Children Consciously
Even though we feel sometimes that our kids are the cause of our emotional instability, the truth is that only us, parents, have the responsibility to manage our emotional state. Our kids trigger us because there are unresolved issues inside of us that we need to heal. They are just reflecting back to us the parts we still need to grow. Our kids’ behavior is telling us they have an unmet need and they are communicating it to us in the best way they know how at the moment. They come to us looking for connection, they want to be seen and heard.
If we are able to take care of ourselves, fill our cup daily and work on a mind shift where we look within when issues arise, we would be able to be present for our kids, be a safe emotional container and a give them the gift of unconditional love.
Where do you start? It always depends on where you are at on your journey but in general, awareness is the first step. Awareness is realizing that you are feeling triggered by your child behavior and you have an automatic reaction when this happens. As a parent coach, I will help you to process this new way of looking at yourself and your parenting. You will unlock your inner wisdom and you will feel empowered to create the relationship you desire with your children. Give yourself and your family the gift of Conscious Parenting growing in ways you never considered before.

I support you with the hardest job of all, the raising of your precious children. I help you find joy, peace and ease dealing with your family challenges. I teach you to connect instead of divide by parenting through love. I work with parents who are committed to turning their family dynamic around, to bringing more peace to their homes and cooperation from their kids. In other words, I teach them how to stop yelling and punishing and how to parent through empathy and connection. Parents know when their approach is not working and when they reach out, I meet them right where they are, I offer them a judgment-free and confidential relationship, I guide them through their struggles, celebrate their successes and support them in their setbacks. After working with me you will feel confident about the best way to raise your children, you will feel a sense of peace and regain your joy knowing that every member of your family feels loved and valued, they are heard and they matter. You will be the parent you always wanted to be in the midst of any circumstance. I am a mother of three boys and I went from being the perfect parent in my fantasies to a “monster mom” in reality and in a matter of a couple of years after I had my first child. My world crumbled. It was chaos. And then I went to being a confident mom that gained her joy back thanks to a deep dive into conscious parenting, a long journey of inner work still to this moment and staying committed to being true to myself.
