MY WHY:

FROM parent TO coach

As a parent myself, I get it. I know the struggle of trying to be “on” all the time, while pushing down the stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion.  Leading to that all-too-common, parenting burnout. 

I know the weight of being a busy parent, the struggle to do it all, the expectation to be perfect, and the constant drive to do more. I was desperate for my own relief, and stumbled upon Parent Coaching!

I felt a calling to help parents like me... find balance, manage their own stress, and let go of that perfectionism, I could make a difference not just in my own parenting and family, but for a whole generation of parents and families...  That moment was my turning point.

As I contemplated shifting careers and starting my own practice, my two worlds collided, parenting and teaching.  I was consumed by the realization that by supporting parents in managing stress, letting go of perfectionism, and building resilience, I know I’m profoundly impacting PARENTS and KIDS.

FROM teaching kids TO guiding parents.

I shifted FROM teaching kids TO guiding parents because that’s where lasting change truly begins!

As a teacher, having hard conversations with parents about their students performance or behavior is part of the gig. 

Time and time again, I would sit down with a family I was working with to navigate disruptive behaviors at school.  Nearly every time, it was painfully obvious how overwhelmed the parents were—juggling demanding jobs, constantly worried about getting it right, second-guessing every decision, and feeling like they were barely keeping it together.

When I support parents in managing stress and building resilience, I’m indirectly but powerfully impacting kids, addressing the root causes of family challenges and creating a ripple of calm and connection throughout their homes.

NOW

By focusing on empowering parents, I’m able to help families build calm, resilient homes that ripple outward to affect every member. When parents feel balanced and supported, it creates a positive cycle that naturally impacts their children. This shift has allowed me to create the kind of change I value deeply—calm, joy, and connection that transform both the parent and child experience.
