My Story

"There are two gifts we should give our children.  One is roots. The other is wings." ~ Unknown

My Heart for Mothers & Children

"Parenthood is easy. Until you become a parent."

​​​​

When I became pregnant, I did what so many of us do—I consumed every parenting book, article, and resource I could find. I was determined to be the best parent I could be. My friends would lovingly call me a “supermom” or “tiger mom,” and in those early days, I wore those labels with pride.

​

But when I finally stepped into motherhood—especially as a stay-at-home mom without nearby family support—the reality was far from what I had envisioned. I adored my spirited toddler, but I quickly found myself overwhelmed, depleted, and isolated. Despite my best intentions, I felt like I was constantly at odds with my child. The family life I had dreamed of felt out of reach. And unlike a job, there’s no stepping away from motherhood. I felt like I was failing—and it was heartbreaking.

​

The truth was, I knew what to do. I had all the knowledge. But in the heat of the moment—when I was triggered or exhausted—everything I’d learned would vanish, and frustration would take over. I didn’t like the mother I was becoming. I knew something had to change.

​

In early 2020, I discovered conscious parenting—and with it, a path forward. That decision led me on a deep inner journey, one that continues to transform me every single day. The shift in myself, my parenting, and my relationship with my child was profound. And it inspired me to become a parent coach so I could walk alongside other parents on this journey.

​

Today, I support parents and caregivers who want to parent with greater intention, connection, and peace. I hold space for them as they unpack old patterns, cultivate deeper self-awareness, and grow into the calm, compassionate leaders their families need.

​

I believe that when we parent from a place of empathy, trust, and unconditional love, we create an environment where our children can truly thrive. But to give our children that gift, we must first do the inner work ourselves—so they don’t have to carry what isn’t theirs.

​

If you’re seeking support, know this: you are not alone. I’m here to walk this path with you. I invite you to book a complimentary 30-minute call. I’d love to hear your story.

​

With you in parenting,

​
