In my work as a parent coach and educator, I work closely with individuals, co-parents, small groups, and large audiences to identify patterns, explore what is getting in the way, and uncover a way of parenting (read: leading their family) that feels values-aligned. I am a certified coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting, as well as through the Wholehearted Life Coaching Certification, which centers a decolonized approach to coaching. I have additional training and lived experience in Internal Family Systems and Neurodivergence.In my work, I journey alongside parents and caregivers as they navigate the inevitable ups and downs of raising kids in our ever-evolving world. Through my healing-centered, non-judgmental approach, I provide parents with the latest knowledge and research on effective parenting, as well as strategies they can begin implementing right away. Working with me means delving into the latest neuroscience of child development, attachment theory, nervous system science, and somatic coaching. I journey alongside parents as they learn to access their courage, uncover what is getting in the way, and pave their own parenting path grounded in self-trust and compassion.I work with people in various ways, from one-on-one and small group coaching, to hosting workshops and keynote speaking.
