I know what it feels like to struggle with overwhelm, exhaustion, feeling powerless, and being misaligned with my core parenting beliefs and values.

In 2006, with the birth of my second child, I was right where you are.

Just like you, I wanted to feel confident as a parent…

In the whirlwind of motherhood, I found myself facing the delightful yet demanding nature of my willful, exuberant first born daughter. I often grappled with feelings of inadequacy as a mother, questioning my abilities to “get her to behave”

Just like you, I wanted to feel calm as a parent…

It was easy to fall into the habit of yelling to be heard or to instill fear to get my little people to move faster or stop what they were doing

I knew something had to change

It wasn’t until I discovered the importance of doing the inner work that I started to see real change

I want the same for you. It’s never too late to make a change

infuse your parenting with new energy
