Frequently Asked Questions

Parent coaching is useful for any parent or caregiver who needs support in navigating the daily conflict in parenting. It can occur online through zoom, or over the phone.  During a session, the professional coach responds by providing insight on the underlying emotions.  She helps you take a closer look at how you are showing up and uses tools and insight to brainstorm different strategies and approaches. 

I ask strategic questions and ensure you feel validated in your parenting challenges. I listen deeply to the underlying emotions.  We collaborate to uncover unconscious unmet needs and work through how that is affecting situations.  I use tools such as Human Design help you see your whole self and understand why certain things are reoccurring and then aid you in shifting how you show up.  We review goals from the past week and celebrate successes while tweaking to remove any barriers to success. After each session you feel seen and heard, and have concrete steps to take.

Zoom calls. I will work with you either in person or over the phone or Zoom. Zoom calls are recorded so you can review them at your leisure. Zoom coaching has many advantages: You don’t have to hire a sitter or make special plans to leave your house. You can enjoy the coaching conversations anytime—during your lunch hour at work, in the afternoon when the children are napping, or in the evening when your kids have gone to bed. Also, telephone or Skype coaching gives you the opportunity to hire a Coach from anywhere in the world, thus working with someone whom you are sure understands you and your unique needs, assuring your privacy within your immediate community.

Not at all. Television programs like Super Nanny invade the home and assume lots of incompetence on the part of the parents, even deriding their decision-making abilities. We believe such programs, developed mainly for titillation and amusement, have very little to do with the reality of most parents today. These shows deal mostly with over-the-top issues that affect a very small percentage of actual parents. In addition, the behaviorist approach used on these shows by the nanny may be effective in the short-term, but will be unlikely to result in long-term positive, sustainable changes. Parent coaching offers a highly respectful, affirmative approach that catalyzes parent creativity, helping moms and dads discover their unique solutions and providing long-term positive changes.
