I developed the 7 Steps to Peace of Mind Parenting as a result of raising my sons.
To say that I come from a “been there done that” perspective is an understatement. I learned that there were no magic wands, Pixie dust, or, quick fixes. Parenting takes patience! The following 7 steps to Peace of Mind Parenting guided me to awareness, being truly present for my family, and became a model for family values.
- Changing Your Mindset
- Developing Coping Skills that Work
- Becoming the Role Model that YOU want to BE
- Enhancing Communication Skills
- Building Lasting Relationships
- Empowering YOU to be a Creative Disciplinarian
- Understanding the Millennial Generation
The 7 Steps to Peace of Mind Parenting saved my relationship with my son!
I went from, my oldest son saying, “I don’t love you”, to “God sent you to me”! This process took a year. Healing a relationship takes time and commitment. I was under the illusion that since my son was independent, responsible, a self starter, made good grades, was well rounded, and polite, that he needed less of my time. The reverse was true. My son needed me to be MORE available, conscious of his mindset, emotions, and to be be a soulful listener. He wanted an objective, compassionate, and a non judgmental supporter. I stepped up to BE a parent with new attentiveness, assertiveness, and awareness skills. I allowed my inner wisdom to guide me. Trusting in my inner knowledge and intuition gave me to the courage to follow personal values and beliefs.
Self Care, Self Care, Self Care is the Key!
As a Holistic Stress Management Instructor, I blend coping skills with coaching to provide the ultimate relief that YOU have been waiting for. I changed from being a stressed out Mom to finding life balance by being present, centered and focused on what really mattered….my relationship WITH my sons!
Parenting is a gracious dance of wisdom and insight
Join me in setting the stage for a successful loving relationship with your teenager. As you can see (and, hopefully feel), my passion is to help you to fulfill your vision to become the parent that YOU want to be. My intention is to share my knowledge, experience and to provide you with the atmosphere of awareness, being present, compassion, abundance, and commitment as your coach.
