1:1 Coaching for Parents
Vision
Most parents want to create a family life that feels calm, connected, and full of ease and joy. A home where everyone feels seen, a sense of belonging, and connection to self, others, and the whole. Parents want to feel grounded in their own self and attuned to their child; confident that they are supporting them in a way that truly fits who they are.
And yet, for many parents of neurodivergent children, the daily reality can feel far from that vision. The love is immense, but so is the intensity. Traditional parenting models miss the mark, and even well-meant advice can feel misaligned. What’s needed is a way to reconnect with yourself, your child, and the living system you’re part of.
Approach
We move fluidly between coaching - supporting you to uncover your own clarity and momentum - and mentoring - the offer of grounded, practical information and guidance drawn from lived experience.
There are no rigid steps or formulas, only a self-sustaining process that grows naturally from awareness, connection, and understanding of your child. As you become more confident in how to help your child, and more regulated yourself, your child feels it. The whole family system begins to steady itself: a living, responsive ecosystem that nourishes everyone within it.
Connection
When regulation and acceptance deepen, connection naturally follows. Your child’s nervous system feels your steadiness and begins to feel safer in a world that often misunderstands them. You start to see their strengths and challenges more clearly, and your relationship feels lighter, more reciprocal, and alive. The sense of connection ripples outward, strengthening your relationship with yourself, other family members, and your wider community.
The C.A.I.R. Framework
Acceptance
Fully accepting a neurodivergent kid - the struggles, behaviours, even sometimes the space they take up - is not necessarily obvious. The stress of the moment and fear for the future can leave our bodies tight and our hearts not fully accessible to us and our families. Acceptance inquiry can be profoundly transformative and can help you let your love for your kid all the way in. When acceptance grows, your child feels it immediately. The atmosphere in your home becomes softer, safer, and more spacious for everyone.
Information
Understanding your child’s profile and neuroscience through a biological and nervous system lens changes everything. Behaviours that once seemed defiant or confusing begin to make sense as needs or attempts to connect. This understanding lets compassion and intuition lead the way. You stop reacting from fear or frustration and begin responding from clarity and care; and that shift changes the whole dynamic.
Regulation
Many of us live through intense moments that make self-regulation difficult. I know the feeling of masking calm and walking on eggshells (which your child can feel and is confusing for them). I know how hard it is to not react; and how hard it is to forgive yourself for being human when you do. Together, we’ll find practical, body-based ways to notice, ground, and regulate your nervous system, especially in those moments that test you most. As your capacity for regulation grows, you start to feel more spacious, confident, and steady, and your child begins to feel it - to feel safer in a world that largely misunderstands them - and they begin to mirror that steadiness.
Connection as AIR:
so easeful it becomes the atmosphere of our lives
Ease and Joy
As these four elements - Connection, Acceptance, Information, and Regulation - take root, your family begins to breathe easier. You will feel calmer, more attuned, and more confident in how you show up. There’s more joy, more ease, and a growing sense that everyone belongs. What once felt like survival begins to feel like home.
This doesn’t need to feel like a massive overhaul. Even tiny little successes in one pocket ease and offer momentum to the entire system. The effort is regenerative. You can do this. I can help.
