About us

Welcome to our page. We are moms, educators and therapists who hold a firm belief in gentle, mindful parenting. We hope to empower you with current research, personal stories, and inspired readings to help you approach parenting through a mindful awareness of how your connection to your children affects their present and future behaviors and emotional intelligence. When children are treated with kindness, respect and unconditional acceptance they have the freedom to grow in to healthy, compassionate and responsible adults.

Free Teleconversation - Healing Anger and Guilt Through Parenting

Hello! We have a FREE 4-part teleconversation designed to help parents heal the anger and guilt that interferes with their relationship with their children.

A Special invitation to honor all of who you are...and your child too!

  • Does your own childhood impact your parenting?
  • Do you sometimes struggle to parent respectfully?
  • Do you find yourself feeling disconnected from your children?
  • Do anger and frustration affect how you parent?
  • Do hostility and frustration spill over into your relationship with others?
  • Do you find yourself with a short fuse in public settings, like in traffic or in the grocery store line?
  • Do you want to parent from a place that fills your heart?
  • Do you wish you could set boundaries that support you, your children, and your work?
 
 
Welcome!
 
We have a special invitation for you to Hear the Conversation as we dismantle the mystery and challenges you experience in parenting.

That’s right, when you feel guilty because you got angry, and you lost your patience with your child. The words you wish you could take back. The daily struggle you encounter because… well, because the truth is life isn’t just as you dreamed it would be…

You feel resentful, frustrated, and angry. And you feel guilty for feeling that way.

We know what that feels like too!
