Group Support

Support Groups & Workshops

Sometimes the most powerful realization in parenting is: I'm not alone in this. My group programs create a space where parents can exhale, connect, learn, and laugh together - while building real skills.

Group offerings evolve regularly. New programs, themed workshops, and short-run series are continuously being added based on what families are asking for. Join the mailing list or community to be the first to know about upcoming offerings.

Parent Support Groups

Facilitated small-group sessions where you can share openly, receive peer support, and learn alongside other parents raising higher-needs children.

Ongoing

Calm Parenting Workshops

Skills-focused workshops covering specific topics like co-regulation, managing school transitions, meltdown prevention, and more. Practical and immediately applicable.

Periodic

Short-Run Programs

Themed multi-week programs on topics like "Parenting Through Big Emotions," "Back to School Strategies," and seasonal support programs - always evolving based on community needs.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No - coaching is not therapy and does not require a referral. While coaching and therapy can complement each other beautifully, they are different. Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented, helping you build skills and strategies. If mental health treatment is needed, I can help connect you with appropriate resources.
Absolutely. A formal diagnosis is not required to access coaching. Many families I work with are in the assessment process, awaiting results, or simply know their child is "differently wired" without a label. My support is based on your child's actual needs and your family's experience - not paperwork.
Sessions are held via video call (Zoom or a similar secure platform). You'll receive a link in your booking confirmation. All you need is a device with a camera and a quiet space where you feel comfortable talking openly.
Life with a higher-needs child is unpredictable - I completely understand. Rescheduling is easy with at least 24 hours notice. Please see the Terms & Conditions for the full cancellation policy.
Not necessarily. Many of my clients work with me individually. However, if both parents or caregivers are involved in the child's life and are open to it, having both present (or at least informed) can amplify results. We can discuss what makes most sense for your family during the discovery call.
Yes! I know that parents are often busy during the day. I offer evening availability and some weekend spots to make coaching as accessible as possible. When you book, you'll be able to see my current availability and choose a time that works for you.

Let's have a free 20-minute call. No commitment, no pressure - just a real conversation about your family and how I can help.
