As a Master Certified Parenting Coach…

I support you in managing your emotional stress and triggers, repairing the disconnection with your kids, and restoring your relationship so that your children can hear you and respect and trust you. I teach a beautiful process that helps you to become clear on your limits, boundaries and your agreements with your kids – and to follow through with these in a mutually respectful, honoring and powerful way. You will know how to bring yourself into emotional connection, and you will have the tools and strategies that really work. You will know what to do in your difficult parenting moments. As a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach...

I support you in getting to the root causes of your child’s difficult health and behavior issues. Recovery is possible from chronic conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, allergies, eczema, behavior and mood disorders, and I can guide you in finding the answers that are right for your child. I have the unique ability to help you with both the behavior/emotional aspect and also the chronic physical health issues, which is a very rare thing in a parenting coach. I take a holistic approach to understanding behavior issues, and this leads to huge benefits to both you and your child. I’ve been teaching moms about holistic health and well-being for themselves and their children for over 25 years.

In the hardest moments, it feels like everything you know just disappears and you lose your cool.
If that’s you, nothing is wrong with you.

You’re just carrying too much alone. ❤️

I’m creating a small group coaching program for moms.

My goal is to work with a group of about 6–8 mothers — so you get real, individualized support in a safe, connected space.

Beginning in March, I will personally help you:

• Understand what’s actually driving your child’s behavior — so you know how to respond and change what’s happening.

• Keep your cool when things get hard — even when your child is melting down, pushing limits, or saying things that normally send you over the edge.

• Move from daily battles and resistance into a more connected relationship where your child listens and wants to cooperate.

• End each day feeling good about how you showed up — trusting yourself, knowing what to do, and feeling at peace in your heart.

And honestly… this is just the beginning.

I support you in gently healing old patterns and reconnecting with your own wisdom and resilience — so parenting feels calmer, lighter, and more natural.

Would this kind of support feel helpful for you right now?

If you’ve been feeling like “I know better… but in the moment I just can’t access it,” you’re not alone.

Some days you tell yourself:
Tomorrow, I’m going to be more patient.
Tomorrow will be better.

And then tomorrow comes…and by mid-afternoon, you’re already overwhelmed, snapping, or holding back tears.

In the hardest moments, it feels like everything you know just disappears. If that’s you, nothing is wrong with you.

You’re just carrying too much alone. ❤️

I’m exploring doing a small, intimate group where I personally support moms to:

Understand what’s actually driving your child’s behavior — so you know how to respond and change what’s happening.

Keep your cool when things get hard — even when your child is melting down, pushing limits, or saying things that normally send you over the edge.

Move from daily battles and resistance into a more connected relationship where your child listens and wants to cooperate.

End each day feeling good about how you handled things — trusting your instincts, knowing what to do, and feeling at peace with yourself.

Would support in this area feel helpful for you right now?

There is a place inside you where your strength and softness meet.

Your wise heart. ❤️

When you find it, your child feels it. And then everything changes.

My work is guiding you there. ✨

Your child’s tears are a good thing.
They’re a signal that something is moving through their system.

Big feelings are part of healthy development. 😭
When emotions are allowed — not rushed, silenced, or shut down — they pass more easily.

But being with your child’s intensity can feel overwhelming.
Especially if your emotions weren’t welcomed when you were growing up.

If you find yourself wanting to stop the tears, distract, or yell —
you’re human and this makes sense.

In those moments, pause.
Take one slow breath.
Notice what’s happening in your body.

And then you can gently remind yourself:
“I can be present to what’s needed here.”

You might already know this.
Maybe you know what to do, but you can’t seem to access it in those rough moments.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. I’m here. Send me a DM and we can talk. 💛

Your child’s tears are not a problem. They’re meant to flow.

Crying is a release - a way to cope with stress.

Big emotions are part of healthy development. Feelings rise like waves — and when they’re allowed, they pass.

When you stay present with your child’s big feelings — without trying to stop them — you’re sending a powerful message of safety to their nervous system.

And that is how children slowly build the capacity to regulate their emotions and their behavior.

But this is hard. 😭

Your child’s intensity can be overwhelming. And the urge to shut it down makes sense.

For many of us, our own emotions weren’t welcomed growing up.

We weren’t allowed to cry. We weren’t allowed to be angry.

So when our child melts down — it can stir up unprocessed feelings in us. That’s when we yell. Or ignore. Or try to make it stop.

If this happens - Pause.

Take a big breath with a long, slow exhale. Notice what’s happening in your body. This gives you some space to choose what to do next. Your breath is the bridge between your uncomfortable feelings and your conscious choice.

And then you can gently remind yourself: “I can be present to what’s needed here.”

You might already know this. Maybe you know what to do, but you can’t seem to access it in those rough moments.

Does this resonate for you right now? I’m here. ❤️ I can help you get to the root of this. Send me a message and we can talk.

Managing it with consequences or rewards can sabotage your relationship and your influence with your child.

So you end up managing it - over and over again.

The worst behavior in kids mostly comes from a longing to be seen, heard and understood.

That doesn't make the behavior "OK" but it won't change until you meet the core need that drives it.

I created a short mini-course to help you get to the root causes of your child’s behavior:

The Peaceful Mom Path

We look at the root causes—emotional and physical—to uncover what’s driving the behavior. You might be surprised at the things you’ve not heard before. With this new clarity of what’s happening for your child on a deeper level, you can help them rather than make it worse.

When your child feels connected and emotionally safe with you, cooperation flows more naturally.

Even if your child is having horrible, super intense, aggressive meltdowns or going off the rails and doing scary things. When you can make sense of it, you can do things differently and change it.

You’ll find encouragement and support that nurtures and sustains your whole self…especially the parts that feel unseen and not good enough as a mom.

✨ This is for you if...

✔️ You’re tired of yelling, shutting down, or second-guessing yourself as a parent

✔️ You want to understand your child’s health and behavior at the root, not just manage it on the surface

✔️ You’re ready to break old patterns and parent from your values—not your past

✔️ You crave a peaceful, respectful relationship with your kids without sacrificing yourself in the process.

You want to finally enjoy parenting again—not because it’s perfect, but because you’re empowered and reconnected with your inner knowing and trust yourself as a mom.

Great advice about talking to kids about sugar!

Great advice about talking to kids about sugar!

And if sugar is just a "no" for your family, help your child understand why. ✨

What makes kids WANT to cooperate?
The answer isn’t more control. It’s more connection. When your child feels heard and understood, something shifts inside them. That’s when real cooperation happens.
So how do you build that kind of connection?

Our kids are continuously exposed to thousands of chemicals, and we’re in the midst of a toxic health crisis. Unfortunately the EPA is protecting industry and not people.

Even organic food can be contaminated from toxins and pesticide or glyphosate drift, but it’s still the safest way to eat.

When will the EPA and other federal agencies come on board — for the health and future of the American people?
