What is Parent Coaching?
"Parent Coaching is an invitation to consider new information regarding present, everyday challenges; not requiring healing, but fresh approaches. Coaches use techniques such as questioning, stories, metaphors and affirmations to help clients participate deeply in their own change process." ~ Gloria DeGaetano
What is not Parent Coaching?
Coaching is often mistaken for therapy or other types of mental health treatments. During the coaching process it is almost a certainty that I am going to touch upon areas related to emotional and mental well-being, but I am not providing therapy.
I am not a licensed psychologist or specialist healthcare professional. My services do not replace the care of psychologists or other healthcare professionals.
Are you licensed and insured?
Coaches do not yet require licensure to practice their profession however, I have completed Parent Coaching Certification Training at Parent Coaching Institute. I also carry a policy for private practice professional liability through Forrest T. Jones & Company.

In a world filled with uncertainties, it's easy to imagine losing everything in the blink of an eye. Many people adopt a gratitude practice as protection from loss. This can cause people to become fearful about change, but in reality a true gratitude practice goes beyond the notion of preserving everything as it is. It's about cultivating a flexible mindset, holding space, and clarifying intentions. In this short essay, we'll explore the transformative power of gratitude and how it can enhance your overall parenting experience.
At the heart of a gratitude practice is attention and intention. It’s no secret that what we focus our attention on is what will grow. Consider the phrase ‘enjoy every moment, they grow up so fast’. Despite the innocent intent, this remark is single handedly responsible for most ambivalence experienced by parents. Practicing gratitude won’t prevent children from growing up, but it can be a valuable tool that invites us to intentionally shift our perspective from losing our children to discovering new ways of being with our children. Thereby amplifying the aspects of parenting that bring attunement, well-being, and satisfaction.
Gratitude starts with intention. Start by deciding what you want, for the best results your intention should be specific and actionable. The next step is to clarify your intentions, reminding yourself of why you want to practice gratitude and your desired outcome. Then decide on a gratitude practice. You could choose to write in a journal, repeat a mantra to expressing gratitude verbally, or create a gratitude jar. Finally make your gratitude practice a regular habit by devoting a space and a specific time each day for reflection.
Gratitude, when used to reflect on your values, evaluate your priorities, and to practice self-regulation, becomes a powerful coping skill. It empowers parents to embrace changes, stay present during their own evolution, and persevere through parenting challenges. Over time practicing gratitude can rewire your brain to not being anxious about a future without young children.
I want to begin this article by acknowledging that screens and technology can be effective tools for communication, organization, and learning (raise your hand if you’re grateful for an Alexa device that serves as an intercom system of sorts). However, many of us forget or are unaware that screens and technology are designed to capture and hold attention. Thomas H. Davenport and John C. Beck define the concept of attention as “the focused mental engagement on a particular item of information. Items come into our awareness, we attend to a particular item, and then we decide whether to act.” Screens and technology force family members to compete for each other's attention. This has inflated the value of attention.
While screens and technology vie to influence the behaviors and habits of individual family members, caregivers report feeling ‘helpless’ to reduce screen and technology use in the home despite their children exhibiting delays in physical, social, and language development and an increase in disruptive behaviors. All this impacts the development of attachment, reduces the quality and amount of engagement and responsiveness between family members. Not to mention the risk of being exposed to harmful content and advertising. (An Early Childhood Work Group Project et al., 2019)
I am not writing to cause worry and panic but rather to remind families to be intentional in their use of screens and technologies and their efforts to reintroduce real-world experiences. The following suggestions are practical and sustainable behaviors to reduce screen and technology use.
Create screen and technology boundaries by designating screen/technology free areas of your home and setting time limits. This might look like no screens in the bedrooms and bathrooms, but screens can be used in the living room from 4:30-6:00.
Implement a one device at a time rule.
Clarify the intended use of devices in the home, like the Alexa is for announcements and music or laptops are for school/work and school/work related use only.
Arrange your furniture in a way that promotes interaction; not set up around a screen.
Keep devices physically away UNTIL there’s an intentional reason to use them.
Set a timer when scrolling or online shopping.
Additional small but effective steps to reduce screen and technology use include swapping screen time for a quiet sit on the porch or a walk, sorting and folding laundry outside instead of in front of a screen, refreshing and replenishing outside spaces and toys, adding new photo albums/ books/ puzzles and games to the living room and dining room, make household cleaning and organizing tasks a family affair, connecting with a local nature center and your state’s parks and recreation department

How it works: I use Shamanic Journeying tools to connect with the space and with my guide and helpers. I then remote view the house clairvoyantly and intuitively so that I can remove and transmute energies from my clients’ living or work spaces to restore energy, harmony, peace, flow, and promote growth in their home and their lives.
Once this work is completed, clients often report feeling more grounded, relaxed, energised, and that they feel more harmonious energies in the home.
Working with clients remotely, I open sacred space and commune with the House, the Land Energy, and with Spirit to intuit what is needed. I ask for information and guidance for you in relation to your space. Then I rattle and sage the home, office, or building within sacred space remotely holding the vision of the space in my mind while I shamanically journey - meaning, I go into a mild trance state - to the Spirit world or ‘non-physical reality.’
I will conduct healing and clearing of the space, for removal of that which is not serving the highest good. I usually visualise each energy that is removed, enabling me to write a report about the experience.
This is a remote healing for any location. You receive a written report.

Are you READY to feel HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, and more ENERGIZED?
READY to bring balance to your body and mind.
READY to ignite your passion and creativity.
READY to boost your self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love.
Life is busier than ever, and we can get more done than ever before! But our need for productivity can lead to burnout.
- Do you feel like you’re drifting through life on auto-pilot?
- Are you constantly stressed and anxious?
- Is communication always a struggle?
- Do you feel run down with no energy?
- Are you constantly questioning your decisions?
These are all symptoms of blocked chakras
Here’s what’s possible when you learn to balance your chakras…
- Create a positive attitude that attracts joy into your life.
- Feel more energized and driven.
- Connect to your purpose and live with a deep sense of fulfillment.
- Ignite your creativity and motivation.
What if I told you everything you needed to live your best life was already within you?
Each chakra can be correlated to everything from physical pain and discomfort in the body, to our relationships with others, emotional wellbeing, and our sense of purpose. Balancing our chakras ensures that our energy is flowing smoothly, and brings a sense of calm and peace into our lives.
This course includes a 60 min Yoga practice for balancing each Chakra and also 15-20 min meditation to connect with the Chakra at the energy level. All these videos are part of this course and you have access to them for lifetime once you sign up for the course.
Day 1 : Root Chakra
When the Root Chakra energy is vibrant and flowing well, we have a great connection to the earth and feel reassured.We are not struggling to feel safe and secure. We just are! This Chakra and energy governs our survival and stability, controlling fight or flight responses.
Day 2 : Sacral Chakra
This Chakra and energy governs our emotions. It is linked to our feelings, creativity, sensuality, and sexuality. When this energy is vibrant, we embrace and enjoy life .We can easily let go of situations without excessive dwelling, and we can express ourselves without being selfish or cruel. We tend to ooze happiness and find joy everywhere!
Day 3 : Solar Plexus Chakra
This Chakra and energy is all about your personal power and how much of your life you take accountability for. When this energy is vibrant and flowing well, we are confidently decisive but still able to enjoy the spirit of spontaneity. We have a strong sense of purpose combined with healthy self-esteem. When it is out of balance, you may feel out of touch with the fire within you.
Day 4 : Heart Chakra
This Chakra energy plays a significant role in attaining overall energetic balance. It relates to our ability to give and receive love. It circulates our emotional energy and governs our empathy, ability to forgive, compassion, divine love, and how we process grief. Without your heart Chakra being open, love cannot and will not prevail.
Day 5 : Throat Chakra
This Chakra and energy governs our communication and creativity and is linked to our independence, use of language and ability to speak our truth. Not being able to freely communicate or express your thoughts and opinions will cause this Chakra to fall out of balance
Day 6 : Third Eye Chakra
This Chakra and energy governs our intuition, thoughts, and imagination, resulting in our ability to self-reflect and have a vision. When this energy is balanced, we have clarity of mind and great focus. We’re able to accept and live our truth. We are not easily distracted.
Day 7 : Crown Chakra
This Chakra and energy is linked to spiritual awareness, presence of true mindfulness and universal unity. When in balance, we are open to knowledge and the wisdom of others and are living our best, most fulfilled, and peaceful life.
