My Journey into Parent Coaching

          In the dim light of a hospital room, after 17 hours of labor, I held my sweet baby boy in my arms for the very first time. The emotions were intense and incredibly overwhelming—love, joy, and an enormous sense of responsibility to this tiny human. In that moment I realized I had just been given the most important job I’ve ever had. As I looked into those innocent eyes, I knew that my life's purpose had just crystallized: to give my children the best possible foundation. What I didn't realize at the time was how much this purpose would ignite a passion within me that would change my entire life. 

          Parenting is often romanticized as a joyful and fulfilling experience—and while it undoubtedly is—no one tells parents about the myriad of challenges that can push even the strongest among us to the brink. I vividly remember the sleepless nights, the countless moments of self-doubt, and the overwhelming fear of not being good enough and the fear that I would “mess up my kids.” There were moments when I felt utterly lost, trapped in a cycle of frustration, overwhelm, and exhaustion. It was in these dark moments that I realized the desperate need for support and guidance. I just knew something was missing. 

          My journey into Parent Coaching began with a personal transformation. Desperate for answers and support I sought out and hired a Parent Coach. I dove head-first into studying child development, neuroscience, and emotional regulation. I learned about the powerful impact that a parent's emotional state has on their child's development. I discovered techniques for healing and regulating my own emotions, which in turn helped me to become a more present and compassionate parent. The changes in my relationship with my children were profound. My children’s tantrums and emotional outbursts happened less often and were less intense. It was incredible! I thought about how different my parenting experience would have been if I had this knowledge prior to having children. It was then that I knew I had found my calling. 

          I have seen firsthand the transformative power Parent Coaching holds. When parents learn to heal their own emotional wounds and regulate their emotions, they create a safe and nurturing environment for their children. This not only helps children to grow into emotionally healthy and resilient individuals themselves, but it also breaks the cycle of generational trauma. I am driven by the vision of a world where parents are equipped with the knowledge, tools and support they need to raise emotionally intelligent and resilient children. What keeps me going is the belief in the ripple effect of empowered parents. When parents heal and regulate their emotions, they not only change the trajectory of their own lives but also the lives of their children and future generations. My hope is that my work will help create a more compassionate and emotionally intelligent society. By helping parents, I believe we can heal the world, one family at a time. 

          This mission is deeply personal. I know what it feels like to struggle, to feel inadequate, and to be overwhelmed by the demands and immense reasonability of parenting. But I also know the profound joy and fulfillment that comes from overcoming these challenges and growing into a more resilient and compassionate parent. This is why I am so passionate about parent coaching—because I want to share the tools and insights that have transformed my life with other parents who are struggling. I am driven by the belief that every parent deserves support, empathy, and the tools to heal and regulate their emotions. I truly believe this work can create a world where parents feel empowered, children grow up in emotionally healthy environments, and the cycle of trauma is broken. This is more than just a profession; it is a deeply personal and heartfelt mission. It is about healing, empowerment, and creating lasting change. It is about transforming pain into purpose and using my own experiences to help others navigate the beautiful, challenging journey of parenting. By helping parents heal, we can create a ripple effect that will change the world. This is my purpose in the world, and it is what fuels my passion every single day.
