End power struggles, Find joy in parenting,
Connect deeply
We get to choose:
connection or resentment
Most of us have been taught to raise children in a way that creates frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us without the closeness we long for.
When we parent our children from a deep understanding of ourselves and what we unconsciously bring to our parenting, we can unlearn painful patterns and create peace and connection in our homes.
Healing
Heal your inner child and
break cycles that keep you stuck
Trust
Create a relationship with your children based on trust, connection and collaboration
Harmony
Experience joy, playfulness, harmony and mutual understanding with your children
Are you parenting from your reactions,
rather than from intention?
None of us starts off our parenting journey knowing what to do. Each day we face challenges with our kids, and naturally we want to know some quick fixes to make life easier. We want to parent the best we can, so we create lists, read books, follow parenting influencers, listen to podcasts. These can all be helpful and transformative stepping stones - AND
The real and lasting change happens when we do the hard work of looking inward.
Together we will build you up as a sturdy and confident family leader, who leads with compassion and self-trust.
"I am so thankful to be on weekly calls with Katy guiding me through my parenting challenges. She listened and validated my experience in such a caring and compassionate way that really helped me to grow. Katy’s curiosity helped me to work through the things in my past that are affecting me and my parenting… I am benefiting greatly in my parenting journey having had the time to work with Katy."
-Suzanne C., West Virginia
"'Prior to being coached by Katy, I was drowning in a sea of overwhelm as a mom of 5 kids. I now feel more aware of my own needs and how to meet them, which has released a lot of pressure in the family. That alone is HUGE, and is only one of the ways in which my parenting journey has begun to change. Katy offered a space that made me
feel heard and acknowledged, and never judged. She helped me problem solve and see things from perspectives I hadn't considered. She is very down-to-earth and easy to talk with. I have grown so much, and know how to continue my growth."
-Amanda M., New York
About me
I became a parenting coach because I want to help parents and caregivers transform their relationships with their kids - and with themselves.
As a parent of a child entering their teen years, I intimately know how beautiful, hard, emotional, inspiring, exhausting (and every other adjective!) parenting can be. It's truly the hardest and most important job we have.
My approach as a coach is parent-centered, which means I will work with you to build your strength, self-trust, connection and compassion (for yourself and your kids) so you’re able to lead your family with love and intention.
I coach parents and caregivers at all stages of parenthood who are ready to move beyond temporary fixes and parenting hacks to transform their relationship with their children and themselves. I guide my clients to break the generational patterns that are not serving them, and have a more connected and collaborative relationship with their children.
I'm committed to working with folks who are on the path of unlearning the deeply engrained teachings of white settler colonialism, patriarchy and late-stage capitalism that show up in our parenting.
Let's Talk!
Take this baby step towards building the relationship you long for with your children.
The traditional
‘power-over’ model
of parenting
isn’t working.
So many of us feel stuck as we unconsciously recreate dynamics that don't serve us or our kids.
I believe you are a good parent - no matter the struggles you face.
It's likely you weren't taught the skills that would support you to be the kind of parent you long to be. So you end up slipping into patterns that were ingrained in you in your own childhood.
When you contact me, I will meet you with understanding and non-judgment and together we will create and implement a personalized plan to navigate the challenges that are unique to your family.
How It Works:
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
