Not seeing eye to eye with your parenting partner?

Getting caught in power struggles with your kids?

Wondering how to find JOY and PLAY in your parenting?

I can help.

As a parent, you have the most important, most impactful role on the planet.  

Yet, most of us parent from a place of reactivity and instinct, instead of intention and purpose. We rarely take time to think about and reflect on how we parent and why.  

While acting on instinct has allowed for the survival of our species for thousands of years, these days most of us long for more than mere survival.  

We want meaningful connection with our partners and our children.  We want long-lasting, resilient relationships that we can find comfort in and depend on.   

And that is possible - for you and for your children.
