WE'LL HELP YOU
You're not too early. You're not too late. You're right on time.
Ages 10 to 14 are full of big feelings, budding independence, and major growth. They're the perfect time to lay the groundwork for connection that lasts. Our program helps parents build strong, playful, and trusting relationships before adolescence feels like a storm. We use research, coaching, and humor to support you in showing up with confidence, curiosity, and the kind of presence that lasts. Because when we shift how we think about adolescence, we don't just support our kids, we co-create a better world.
Let's start now, together.
- Use research-backed tools to build strategies that actually work
- Navigate the wild terrain of adolescence with more confidence and compassion
- Normalize this often-overwhelming stage and learn why what you're feeling makes sense
- Build your own emotional toolkit so you can respond (not just react)
- Strengthen your connection with your middle schooler in ways that last
WHAT YOU'LL GET
- A dynamic 3 month Program that includes 2 live, 60-minute Zoom sessions per month that feel more like powerful conversations than lectures
- A beautifully designed workbook to guide your growth between sessions packed with reflection prompts, practical tools, and space to make this work your own
- Email support between sessions for when you need a nudge, a question answered, or just someone to remind you you've got this
- Science-backed strategies to parent with more confidence, connection, and calm
The 3-month coaching experience is $1,200 or $400/month
You're not just getting support, you're building the foundation for lasting connection, emotional health, and a more resilient future for your family. If you're ready to shift out of survival mode and step into a more connected way of parenting, I'd love to work with you.
If cost is a concern, just reach out. I want this work to be accessible to the families who need it. Sliding scale pricing is available.
Adolescence isn't the end of your close relationship.
It's the beginning of an even better one!
