PARENTING IS AN ADVENTURE

The high points have incredible views, there are a lot of choices to make, and sometimes you get chased by big, scary dinosaurs.

Whether you're shouldering a heavy load through difficult terrain or stomping right on by--

 

Together we make the big, scary things manageable.

PARENT COACHING

I coach parents through everyday parenting hurdles with an emphasis on fostering bodily autonomy in all aspects of a child's life

Having been the nanny behind the scenes in your homes, I understand that parenting’s challenges are complex and unique to all families. As a Parent Educator serving virtually, my work is informed by respectful parenting, a Health at Every Size® framework, and a commitment to honoring natural play. Let's empower your child to follow their body's cues to a rich, authentic life.
