I came from childhood pain. I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified. My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story. When I became a mother, I was determined to heal and not repeat the patterns of my childhood in my own parenting with my children. Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids. When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change. When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting. I have over 16 years of experience working with teens and their families as a high school counsellor and I'm the mom of two so I understand the challenges. I teach parents relational parenting so you can foster healthy relationships with your children. Let me help you to change. I have a parenting course and parent coaching program (9 weeks long) offered digitally with weekly coaching support. Reach out for support at [email protected]. Free 30 minute helping call. Book it - it's free. My mission is to help parents.
