I support parents who feel stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves so that they can experience more ease, connection, and joy with their children and with themselves
ABOUT ME |
My approach in this topic is grounded in my own experience as a mother as well as an attachment based, feminist and anti colonial perspective. What this means practically is that discussions acknowledge that parenting is incredibly difficult to do in a society which prioritizes independence, paid work, busy-ness and perfection. We also acknowledge that it doesn't have to be this way and actively work towards more satisfying, relaxed and fulfilling relationships with our children, ourselves and our communities.

WHAT DO PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IN SESSION? |
-emotional regulation (how to manage stress, anger, fear, etc. in ourselves and supporting our children in the same)
-re-villaging (explore how colonial models of parenting leave us isolated and exhausted and learn how to recognize what we need and how to get it) -your parenting inheritance (how were you parented and how does this impact your own experience as a parent?) -attachment (healing our own attachment wounds and creating security with our own children) -exploring ancestral line of parenting (what were traditional parenting practices in the cultures I descended from, what worked, what didn't, what do I want to integrate, what do I want to let go of) |
INSURANCE COVERAGE |
