No Parent Starts out
Knowing What to Do...
Without Conscious Effort, Our Parenting Methods Can Create Conflict Instead of Connection.
The authoritarian way most of us have been taught to parent, creates conflict and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children.
When we parent our children without working through our own history, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different.
It's never too late to
Turn Things Around
No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope.
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.
Hi, I'm Laura...
Mother of two beautiful kids.
Spouse of One
Builder of Dreams...
I became a parenting coach because I was completely committed to having a different kind of relationship with my children than my parents had with me.
My first and foremost love is being a Mom! I’m also a Jai Certified Parenting Coach in Springfield, Massachusetts; Licensed Elementary Teacher and Certified Reiki Master. I’m elated you are here!
I offer a safe and supportive space in which I help parents figure out why particular interactions with their children are triggering. I will walk with you into and thru the “stuff” of your past, so you can intentionally show up better for your kids and most importantly, yourself.
I believe all children deserve to be guided and loved by the best version each of us have to offer them, as parents. If you’re feeling alone in parenting, wondering if you’re doing things “right”– Call me! I’ve been there and it’s my purpose to help.
The traditional ‘power-over’ model of parenting isn’t working.
Struggling with our children can lead to feelings of guilt and regret that we’re just not doing a good job as a parent.
I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
I understand how hard it is to ask for help as a parent. Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgmental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
Laura is for you
Here's How it Works...
When you book a call with me
We’ll sit down together (virtually) and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
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 of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
