conscious parenting & emotion coaching

For parents seeking connection, emotional understanding, and more conscious family relationships.

Conscious parenting is an intentional approach to raising our children that focuses on awareness, emotional attunement, and personal responsibility. Rather than controlling behavior through fear, shame, or rigid discipline, conscious parenting invites us to cultivate presence, regulate our own nervous systems, and respond to our child with curiosity, compassion, and groundedness. It recognizes that how we parent is deeply shaped by our own childhood, stress responses, and inner patterns—and that healing those patterns creates space for deeper connection. At its core, conscious parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being aware in the moment, honoring the full humanity of both parent and child, and growing together authentically with love and respect.

Emotion Coaching is a research-backed framework developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman that teaches parents how to respond to their children’s emotions with empathy, clarify, and connection. Rather than trying to fix or ‘get rid-of’ difficult feelings, Emotion Coaching invites parents to pause, listen deeply, and help their children name, understand, and regulate their emotions. The process builds trust, connection, resilience, and true emotional intelligence (for both parties!) along the way. In our work together, you’ll learn the five core steps of Emotion Coaching and how to apply them in everyday moments—from tantrums and transitions to deeper relational repair—so your child feels seen, safe, and supported in becoming their full, emotionally healthy self.
