What is a parenting coach?
How I can help you reach your parenting goals.
A parenting coach is a professional who supports, educates, and provides guidance in parenting to achieve a desired outcome for a family.
There are many versions of this, each with an area of expertise (ex. sleep, breastfeeding, gentle parenting). What is the most important about any coach is expertise, use of evidence based information, and provides a safe non-judgmental space for learning and growth.

My philosophy aligns more with the term 'mentor' instead of coach. In my experience as a lactation consultant, postpartum doula, and parent, I designed Embracing Parenting to be a supportive guide who walks the life-long path with you. We will discuss personalized goals, based in science, experience, and love.

​Embracing Parenting integrates a variety of parenting practices, including conscious parenting, reflective and responsive parenting, mindful parenting, and current neuroscience to help parents hold biologically realistic expectations. ​
