Ready to: move forward, take stock, and explore how you show up for your family?
You’re in the right place.
Connecting with people who want to create this clarity in their life lights me up!
You love your children, and somehow it feels like you’re missing that deeper level of communication. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, littles to near launching or beyond, I’m here to help you gain clarity around communication.
You love being a parent, and sometimes you stumble or second guess yourself. You’re looking for support, guidance, or wisdom. I’m a life coach with a focus on helping families thrive and help loving parents discover new ways to interact with their children.
You’re interested in personal growth and recognize the value of self-care. Exactly how that will fit into your schedule isn’t crystal clear—yet.
I’m a single mom of two wonderful sons, and over the years I’ve learned some amazing tools that helped me maintain perspective and build resilience.
How can you work with me to get where you want to be?
Private Coaching
Do you value focus and clarity? When you are clear, a path emerges and actions come to light. Coaching allows you to move toward things that matter to you. A skilled coach listens more than talks, giving you space to discover your own A-HA moments.
Group Coaching
Get ready to learn, grow, and explore with others who have a similar vision for their future—meaningful connection within their families. Group coaching is facilitated, not directed. Sharing many favourite tips, tools, and exercises, you get to be creative with other participants to find the best choices for you. You’ll have plenty of new ideas to take home with you!
Private Mentoring
Imagine planning to climb a mountain and you have no idea what the trail looks like or what gear you’ll need. You look for advice from a trusted expert, and then you feel assured that you have the information you need. Working with a mentor offers you the same guidance, holding a space for listening and also helping you discover how you will choose to move forward.
