Hi there, I'm Kayla!
I'm your Certified Conscious Parenting Coach and I'm ready to walk alongside you as you navigate parenthood in today's world.
I have two children who were both born abroad. After becomming a parent I experienced postpartum anxiety. I felt alone and, in spite of my experience in childcare and education, I felt ill-equipped to change the patterns of anger and control that I had been parented with.
This why I'm passionate about helping parents reconnect with their children, define their values, and live their vision for their family.
My training in Trauma-Informed Care, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Neurobiology, EFT Tapping, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, along with my years living overseas, give me unique perspective to support you to raise kind, capable kids with confidence, connection and joy in your parenting!
Work with me!
Do you find yourself frustrated in your parenting more often than joyful and confident?
If so, then let’s talk.
As a Certified Parenting Coach, I’m here to support parents and caregivers who are ready to make the shift from the old model of authoritarian parenting that damages relationships, to a new model of empowered parenting (that still teaches kids values, morals and boundaries!), creating a whole new level of connection and cooperation within their family.
