Parenting & Parent Mental Health
Raising children is one of the most difficult jobs a person can do as it requires meeting the unique physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of each child, all while caring for oneself at the same time. I provide coaching through a number of parenting/caregiving approaches along with caregiving tips and tricks. I also support parents and caregivers with stress and trigger management for the important work they do.
