We help parents turn down the intensity of modern day parenting so that they can raise their 21st century kids with more confidence, more peace of mind — and more fun too
The landscape for 21st century families is different. Kids are global, with connections and experiences that cross borders and cultures. Kids are digital, with incredibly powerful tools constantly at their fingertips. And parenting is more all-encompassing and intense than ever before, even as we’re preparing kids for a future we have trouble envisioning. The concept of being mindful is absolutely key – both to help regulate us as caregivers, and as we help our kids develop vital emotional intelligence skills.
How can parents stay grounded while supporting their kids in this global, digital, mindful era?
As your international parent coach, I can help.
I know the theories, expertise, and science – but I also know their limits. So, in addition to the textbook parenting suggestions, I bring a reality check, loads of empathy, a historical perspective, cross cultural awareness, and unlimited encouragement.
And you bring you. Your family, your values, your goals.
Together, we’ll get rid of the guilt, the shame, the doubt. We’ll shed all the unnecessary noise to find peace, purpose, confidence, and self compassion. We’ll find your parenting identity so that you can enjoy your 21st century kids.

I don’t follow any particular parenting method. No one approach will fit every parent, every kid, and every phase of a family’s life. That said, I tend towards what can generally be called positive parenting.
That means that I focus on helping you prioritize a caring respectful relationship built on a combination of love, warmth, consistent boundaries, and clear expectations.
Don’t just take my word for it! Every theory, idea, or suggestion I make is informed by research. I bring a vast knowledge of the latest science on how kids learn and grow, and what parenting practices tend to lead to the best outcomes. But I’m also aware that sometimes the theories don’t translate well to practice – and that every kid and every parent is different.
I bring a unique combination of common sense and research-based theories – and have years of experience applying that blend to real-life, real family situations. It’s an ideal combination of solid foundation and pragmatic realism!
The idea of raising kids in a global village hits particularly close to home for anyone raising kids outside their country or culture of origin. In some circles, these kids are called third culture (or cross culture) kids.
There are so many unique experiences that families face when all or parts of the culture or language inside their home doesn’t match the one outside their home! Through professional expertise – and as a parent of cross culture kids myself – my assistance as an international parent coach can help guide you through some of those special challenges.
There’s no way we can talk about childhood and parenting today without mentioning technology. The digital world has transformed everyone’s lives, including kids and parents. With or without our guidance, it doesn’t take long for our kids to learn to be digitally savvy.
But we still have a vitally important role to play in helping them learn to be digitally literate. There’s lots of advice out there for digital wellness, but you’re in good company if you often feel lost in understanding how to make the guidelines work for your family. Let’s work it out together!
No parent needs another critic. You’ve already got online parenting message groups and your in-laws for that! I know that we all want the best for our kids. I also know that, at any given moment, we’re all just doing our best with the information, resources, and energy we have at that time.
You’re here because you have a goal to grow as a parent, and we’ll get there starting from a place of empathy and acceptance of wherever you are right now.
Parent coaching is a goal-oriented journey that can help you confidently parent at your best.
We’ll work together to identify your goals and create a plan for success. Here are just a few of the things I can help you with:
And because I’m an international parent coach, it doesn’t matter where you’re located!
I offer a few different options for helping you feel more confident in your parenting.
