Why Work with a Parenting Coach?
What if parenting came with a user manual? Being a parent is a journey full of surprises and challenges. Just when you think you've found balance, your child's next stage of development changes everything. What worked before suddenly stops being effective, leaving you feeling unsure and frustrated.
​
A parenting coach helps you navigate these transitions with confidence. With personalized support, you’ll learn how to adapt your parenting approach, better understand your child’s needs, and create a peaceful and fulfilling family dynamic.
Don’t let uncertainty guide your parenting! Gain the right strategies to handle each stage with ease and build the family environment you desire.
​
Different developmental stages necessitate different strategies. By the age of two, children begin their road towards autonomy with affirming their opposition as they are creating their own persona.
By age 6, the age of reason arrives, where the child will develop their moral standards and ask the bigger questions.
And then, the pre-teens and teenage years, which bring tumultuous dynamics into the family environment.
And if your child is highly sensitive/gifted, everything is exponential.​
​
Different stages, different strategies
As a parent, we can easily become overwhelmed in knowing how to best accompany our child. Quite frequently, solutions can be found for the struggling child with outside help, however, the parent is left on the sidelines without clear guidelines to complement at home.
Here's how I can help:
​​
The adolescent stage is naturally comprised of risk-taking, impulsivity and emotional reactivity. I can help young adults and parents navigate the unique challenges of this period by using research based coaching techniques by Isabelle Filliozat.
​
My approach is designed to foster resilience, optimism, social/emotional competencies and problem-solving skills​ based on my background as a NLP practitioner, with my Non Violent Communication training, Emotional Intelligence and years as a Montessori educator.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

It’s usually at this point when we begin to encounter obstacles such as self doubt, not knowing which direction to take, or challenges that question our desired state. As we go through a change of identity; a more mindful parent, a new career/a first career, a new project, optimining existing relationships, what we see is the tip of the iceberg. However, what can keep us from reaching our goals is what is hidden below, what we are not aware of.
Whether it is self limiting beliefs, fear, repetitive patterns of behavior or lack of confidence, to name a few, working with a coach will increase your self awareness and allow you to discover your rich inner world. We will explore together to break through exactly what is keeping you from being who you want to be.

​
I am trained as a professional coach, in Non Violent Communication, in Neuro Linguistic Programming (Technician, enrolled in practician program), in Montessori education from 3 to 12 years old and yoga, and with over 13 years of practical experience in running a Montessori school. I combine these different tools in accompanying parents/adolescents/families in English and French.
​
Mother of a young adult at University and teenager in high school, I have myself travelled the different stages of development from babies to young adult as a parent. Both of my children being highly sensitive, gifted young adults, parenting was not always straightforward. Each challenge led me to learn more about myself and developing strategies to best accompany my son and daughter.
As a family coach, if I can improve family connection, a teenager feeling understood or a parent feeling less overwhelmed, the journey would be a successful one.

Prajna means wisdom in Sanskrit. The wisdom is inside of you. Through movement, we can liberate the body and the mind and them available for welcoming change by calming the nervous system. Our nervous system is how we experience the world, fresh and rested, our mind is alert, clear and receptive to undergo a stimulating coaching session.
