Guidance & Support for Global Parents
Parent Coaching & Support
Gain clarity, have a plan and live your truth
As your parent coach, I guide you through a reflective process to help you feel more clear, confident, hopeful and at ease.
Choose the programme that suits your needs
I offer short and longer programmes to empower you as a parent and as a person.
Start when you’re ready
While coaching is a process involving change over time, I offer single consultations for parents wanting to explore a particular topic or area of concern.
My Programmes:
Essentials, Grow Roots, Grow Shoots
Plant seeds of change with a short programme and continue to water and grow your family’s potentials with one of the longer programmes.
Plant seeds of change with Essentials
This four-week programme invites you to manage challenging behaviours using virtues-based strategies that improve your relationship with your child and support your child’s development.
Deepen connection and strengthen communication with Grow Roots
During this eight-week dive into virtues-based parenting, you and your child activate a vocabulary of character, nourishing the parent-child bond in strong preparation for the storms of adolescence.
Create space for your vision to blossom with Grow Shoots
During this eight-week parent coaching process, you learn to leverage a personal-growth parenting tool that you can continue to use as your family’s needs and priorities evolve over time.
