My parenting journey did not begin as one of compassion and safety... ​

Before welcoming my son into the world, I always had this image in my head of becoming the "perfect parent". If you have kids of your own, I'm sure you can relate to the moment reality hit me - even though I had "prepared" for this for so long, I soon realized that the perfect parent in my head was, well, just that.

 

I found myself overwhelmed by anxiety, anger and an extreme loneliness that I never saw coming before becoming a parent. When only 12 months later I received the diagnosis of a tumor in my uterus, it felt like a perfect storm of anger, isolation, and despair was overtaking me.

 

Gripped by near-constant intense physical and emotional pain, I found myself neglecting my son and my husband, feeling exhausted and helpless, and taking it out on everyone around me.​ It wasn't until my son stopped calling me "mommy" and turned to my mother instead of me, that I knew I needed to make a change - and fast.

​​​

This pivotal experience led me on the transformative journey I've taken to understand the impact of conscious parenting, the connection between our children's brain and behaviors, and the profound power of inner healing. I discovered tools and techniques that not only helped me do the inner work I needed to face, but also empowered me to become the calm, intentional parent I had always known I could be in my head.

 

Now, I get to share what I've learned and help guide other parents to become the calm, compassionate role models their children need. If my story resonates with you, I'd love for you to join me, and us, on this journey!
