WHAT IS CONSCIOUS PARENTING? Oprah Winfrey describes Conscious Parenting as a complete paradigm shift from traditional parenting & has endorsed Dr. Shefali's work as revolutionary & life changing. In a nut shell, the Conscious Parenting Coaching Method ™ is rooted in ~ self awareness, evolution, abundance, connection & love. While traditional parenting seeks to ~ fix, manipulate & control a child’s behaviour with dominance, scarcity & fear. "Love without consciousness becomes need, dependence & control in the name of love.
True love for the other comes with freedom and liberation without any condition asking for something back." ~ DR.SHEFALI TSABARY |
Conscious parenting is about raising our selves. Collaborating with the child through connection & authenticity we guide them, within life affirming boundaries. Instead of blindly reacting, we learn ways to respond to the child's needs by showing up in the moment with empathy & compassion.
Traditional parenting is based on an hierarchical model where the parent is the “boss” & has all the answers creating tension, anxiety & separation. The parent imposes dominance & control to make the child be who they want them to be. It is quick & reactive, usually leading to a complete dismissal or denial of the child's needs.
When we learn how to parent consciously, we are able to parent from a place of wholeness & we liberate our children to live their own life without the burden of our unconsciousness.

WHY CHOOSE TO BE COACHED?
“Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.” ~ BILL GATES As so many successful leaders already know, we all need a coach, mentor, teacher, cheerleader or a new point of view to continually challenge us to perform at our highest ability. Greatness comes from repetition, co-operation & collaboration. If you knew there was an easier, less expensive way to clean your house that would save you hours, would you do it? Of course, I think we'd all be curious. Life is messy, coaching helps you breakdown the mess & clean it up so that you can see more clearly & breath easier. Change can be challenging to tackle on our own. Doing something different is uncomfortable at first, sometimes we need a hand to get started. In my experience, as the years go by, a lot of adults stop learning or growing when they perceive they "already know" something, even if there is a way to make their life easier. Meaningful, guided conversation can lead you to see places where resistance has been preventing you from seeing things differently. It takes great courage to seek change. Familiarity, no matter how dysfunctional, is much more comfortable than the unknown. The only thing certain in life is change & nobody really likes it, which is why we want everyone else to do it! LOL! You do not have to change everything, but everything will change when you do the work! Reaching out for coaching before a problem manifests is ideal to provide perspective & clarity, but it is a necessity when we are struggling. I believe our only job is to learn, grow & evolve into our highest selves but we cannot do that with the knowledge that we currently have. This is why you choose coaching. |
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
"When you have a choice to make & don't make it, that is in itself is a choice." ~ WILLIAM JAMES How many sessions is truly up to each client. It's unrealistic to think that learning how to communicate in a new way, after years of responding habitually, will be done overnight. Most, who are new to Conscious Parenting require an initial investment of about 6-12 sessions before witnessing transformation, as it challenges our core belief systems & requires us to dig deep & do some work. Once you see a breakthrough & are connecting with your child, you may decide that you are good to continue on your own or that you would like a refresher every few weeks, months or as an issue comes up. That's totally fine. Some of us are already on our own path toward consciousness & just need one or two sessions to realign because we've become stuck in some area of our life. Some of us wish to maintain momentum with a coach & keep a regular monthly appointment. With coaching, there is no need for an endless financial drain. In my experience after the initial investment of 6-12 sessions clients have usually built the foundation to carry on by themselves. I have learned from the best of the best, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Laura Markham, Avital Schriver, Adele Faber & Elain Mazlish, Lucinda Bassett & many many more. You can tap into my 20 years of experience & knowledge, save yourself hundreds of hours seeking this wisdom on your own & at a fraction of the cost of going to a therapist. Please see my rates & packages on the SERVICES page. *** NOTE: Though we can assist in lifestyle changes, coaches are not qualified to take on issues like addiction, OCD, depression, self-harming behaviours, or severe trauma. Please seek a professional who specializes in care for such things. |
IS CONSCIOUS PARENTING ONLY FOR PARENTS?
NO. If you are part of a family, this is absolutely for you! It is for anyone who is open to embarking on a journey of self discovery & should be a prerequisite before having children, in my opinion!
