The Conscious Coaching Method

As an educator, parenting coach and trauma survivor, I have has worked with parents and children for over 15 years in both educational and behavioral roles. I’m passionate about bringing strategies for Calm and Connected parenting to every home with a signature dynamic approach that gets to the root of the issue. Enjoy relationships with less yelling, and experience more flow, ease, and joy. I have tested these proven steps firsthand in my own life to move out of a state filled with intense reactivity and disconnection. I am certified by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Shefali in the CPM Conscious parenting method.

phase one

The Past / Making Links / Expectations / Healing the Past / Inner Child Wounds

  • Breaking and healing past generational patterns- first by recognizing it
  • Looking at how these patterns and past inner child wounds are affecting the present with our kids and partners. The patterns we experience repeat. We learn to recognize and break the pattern. 
  • Reparenting the inner child 
  • Recognizing past belief systems because beliefs dictate how we live our lives
  • Recognizing how constraints of cultural conditioning of our traditional or expected roles effect our parenting / relationships  
  • Recognizing how inner child wounds show up with our partner as we may expect them to meet the unmet needs from our childhood 
  • Re-evaluating expectations of ourselves and others
  • Taking responsibility for the relationship dynamic and co-creating what we experience in order to release blame of the other

phase two

Living in the Now / Tools to Regulate the Self to Calm / Being the Leading Conscious Adult in Your Life

  • Practicing mindfulness: how to be grounded in the present and live from the true, adult self instead of our past self 
  • Nervous system work: the science of how to regulate and practice calmness, becoming connected, and being less anxious 
  • Understand the past pattern we found from Phase 1 occurring in the ‘ now and regulating the self for the present through mindfulness
  • Knowledge about the biology of the nervous system and how to use this practically in everyday life 
  • Living in the conscious adult self instead of the the inner child self that we recognized in Phase 1

phase three

Connection Strategies, Compassion, Reconnecting to Ourselves Our Child, Accessing Deep Love & Our Essence, Recognising the Child’s Needs

  • How to reconnect in our relationships
  • How to recognize the reason for our child’s behavior and change our actions and communication style 
  • How to allow for the autonomy of the child and release the urge to fix our children
  • Learn conscious parenting concepts
  • Connection tools and connection-based language to use with our kid and in other relationships 
  • Reframing our romantic relationships in positive and safe attachment that we did not get in childhood 
  • Connecting deeply to the ourself with compassion & LOVE instead of judgement 

phase four

Boundaries / Teaching and Modeling a Skills Based Approach (for kids)

  • Learning to develop healthy boundaries with our kids rooted in compassion and empathy based limits 
  • Learn the difference in life enhancing vs. ego enhancing boundaries 
  • Learn blocks to setting boundaries in your relationships
  • Develop boundaries with unhealthy people from our past
  • Seeing ‘problem behavior’ as a undeveloped skill that we need to teach our children or emotional need we need to meet

key pillars of conscious coaching

My approach encompass the science of how we work emotionally in mindfulness: enjoying your life right now / simple grounded spirituality merged with simple psychology and practical steps of how to apply the teachings in real life!
