This is the story about how the Masterful Parenting Program began.Ā It all started with a dinner party with friends sharing about our childhood pain and how this experience impacted our lives.Ā In the end, we all were determined not to repeat the trauma, neglect, abuse with our own children but instead we would be committed to healing and change our parenting so our kids would be healthy and thrive.

Ā Masterful Parenting
Does the pain from your childhood get in the way of you becoming the parent you want to be? Do you get triggered by what your child says and become over reactive and at times irrational. You are not alone, believe me. I too have carried pain from my childhood and I have struggled to be the parent I wanted to be. And parenting can be difficult at times. But what if I told you that there's a way to heal from your childhood pain, feel more energized, less reactive, more confident, and truly enjoy your children.
In the Masterful Parenting Program that runs for 8 weeks, I will help you become the parent you want to be. You will know how to heal from your own childhood, become more self-aware, learn how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child's heart and ultimately have a healthy relationship with your child. I have helped many parents, as a high school counsellor, and I am also the mother of two boys, ages 23 and 13. My healing has come from by parenting and yours can, too.
If you want to heal, feel good about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, message me for a free 30 minute helping session and we will make a plan!
I truly believe parents can heal and raise healthy children and in doing this we will change the world. Let's do this!
