What is
Mindful Parenting Coaching?
Mindful Parenting Coaching is a convenient, private way to learn more about Mindful Parenting and hone in on a particular issue (or issues) that are impacting your family life.
How do the sessions work?
-
In-Person or Virtual
I’m happy to meet in person or over video chat at a mutually convenient time.
-
Flexible Sessions
We schedule as many sessions as you need to make sustainable change (most families work with me for 3 - 6 months). This gives me time to learn about you and you the chance to try on new perspectives and skills over time, all with continued guidance and support.
-
Listening carefully
I listen carefully, as YOU are the ultimate expert on yourself and your children.
I bring in knowledge from my experience as an early childhood teacher, and I also introduce the ideas of Mindful Parenting.
-
Mindful Parenting Practices
This includes mindfulness meditation practices, self-compassion practices, instructions on reflective listening, conflict resolution, and more.
-
Challenging Issues & Decisions
Depending upon your need, we may spend our time talking through challenging issues and decisions or practice new modes of communication, or some of both. I will ask questions with the intention of guiding you towards your own wisdom.
-
Community Access
Many of the parents that I work with begin to connect with one another. This option is done privately and by your choice.
You can expect to walk away with…
Practical daily communication tools to move you towards more ease in your family life
A strong foundation in the principles of Mindful Parenting
Resources to build and sustain a meditation practice
Mindset shifts that help you feel both sturdy and compassionate (within yourself and towards your children)
Recommendations for further learning and help if needed
Mindful Parenting Coaching could be a fit if you…
Want to hone in on a specific issue in parenting
Struggle with perfectionism, catastrophizing, and feel unable to be at ease as a parent
Are curious about “respectful” parenting and “mindful” parenting, but feel lost and overwhelmed with the amount of material out there
Are curious about mindfulness meditation practices and how they can impact you as a parent
Prefer the privacy and convenience of coaching rather than a group class
