Guidance & Support for Global Parents
Parent Coaching & Support
Gain clarity, have a plan and live your truth
As your parent coach and guide, my goal is to lead you through a reflective process to help you feel more clear, confident, hopeful and at ease.
Choose the programme that suits you best
I offer one-on-one and group programmes designed to meet specific needs:
-
Parent education for gaining and honing skills
-
Parent coaching for recalibrating and moving forward
-
Mindfulness mentoring for stability and authenticity
Start when you’re ready
While my programmes involve processes that create change over time, I offer single consultations for parents wanting to explore a particular topic or area of concern.
My Programmes:
Still Point, Essentials, Grow Roots, Grow Shoots
Stay grounded in Self, while caring for others; plant seeds of change with a short programme; and continue to water and grow your family’s potentials with longer programmes.

Over a span of eight-weeks, reflect mindfully on what nourishes your spirit and supports your stability while managing the ups and downs of daily life.

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.

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

Still Point
Resource Yourself from the Inside Out
In the intimate setting of a small group of mothers, we visit each of the energy centres that inform our ability to live life fully. Referencing 80 qualities of spirit (virtues) and 80 practices of the authentic self, we turn our attention inwards to make us more effective outwards. Throughout the eight weeks, you practice two mindfulness-based tools that busy mothers can use on the go to relieve stress and connect to inner stillness.
Week 1: Live Life Fully
Introductions and setting the stage for a meaningful and safe group process.
Week 2: Make Home Safe & Comfortable
Reflect on questions and virtues relating to settling securely into the body and the world.
Week 3: Find Ease
Reflect on questions and virtues relating to the ability to flow with emotions.
Week 4: Tend the Flame
Reflect on questions and virtues related to personal agency and harnessing the will.
Week 5: Channel Love
Reflect on questions and virtues related to opening the heart and healthy connection.
Week 6: Honour Truth
Reflect on questions and virtues related to authentic communication.
Week 7: Perceive Potentials
Reflect on questions and virtues related to seeing beyond limitations.
Week 8: Connect to Source
Reflect on questions and virtues related to mystery and relationship to Spirit.
Prior to each session you are invited to sit with the virtues and questions related to the theme of the week, bringing to the group what you would like to share. Following each session, you may support a mindbody exploration of the theme with a one-hour, chakra yoga practice, provided by Amy Fitta of FittaYoga.

The programme is designed in a way that makes the experience uplifting, leaving you feeling motivated, clear and hopeful about the future.
