PARENTING SUPPORT CIRCLE
YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO DO THIS PARENTING GIG ALONE.
LET’S GET YOU RESOURCED UP AND SUPPORTED.
When you are supported in your parenting:
You can be the parent you want to be
When you're listened to and supported, you can be a more patient and present parent to your children
Your children benefit
Spending time in circle will give you a fresh perspective on parenting and effective tools and strategies to use with your children
You build community
Having a like minded hive of parents offers you the support and community you need to thrive
You actually enjoy parenting!
Imagine that! The path to building happy homes begins here.
If you are to be a light for those you love, you must find ways to nourish yourself, to feed your fire & keep it burning.
Is this you?
- Do you long for a space to bring your parenting challenges to and have solutions?
- Do you want to be seen, heard and held in a safe space, judgement free space?
- Are you constantly triggered by your child(ren)'s behavior?
- Do you find yourself yelling and snapping and doing all the things you swore you never would as a parent?
- Do you feel you need to resort to threats, bribes and punishment to get your child(ren) to listen?
You are a good parent. Of that, I have no doubt in my mind.
Otherwise you wouldn’t be here looking for resources to help with parenting.
But you’re also human. And you’re allowed to have big feelings about parenting.
Parenting is hard, hard work. And it wasn’t meant to be done alone.
And yet here we are. We are all trying to be our best for our children while functioning on a thread bare support system.
When you have don’t have anywhere to go to vent and release and regulate your nervous system, how can you hold space for your child(ren) who needs to do the same?
With the right support and tools though, I have no doubt in my mind that you WILL be the parent you always wanted to be.
And today is as good a day as any to choose differently for you and your family.
Let today be the day you choose calm and connection for you and your family.
A Parenting Support Circle
transforms
heals
connects
You CAN be more present, more calm, more focused, more available, more patient, more energetic, more filled up.
Community & Connection
Back before I was a parent coach and mentor, I was passionate about raising my daughter consciously and respectfully. I had learnt all the tools and theories and read all the books and blogs, I had felt ready to parent my then toddler from connection instead of fear.
And that's when I discovered a new set of challenges. My own triggers and emotions began to surface as I tried to empathize and listen to my daughter's BIG feelings.
I was finding myself struggling to stay calm and patient. On top of that, I quickly realized I didn't have a mental model for how exactly to respond to her - what words I should use, what was acceptable and what was not..am I even doing this "right"?
And that's when I discovered the power of gatherings and Circles. Truly, parenting was meant to be done with the support of a village and I saw how mine carried me through.
I became part of an incredible circle of parents who were committed and invested in breaking cycles of fear-based parenting and reparenting themselves. We met every single week and shared our wins and challenges without fear of being shamed or judged. I felt seen, heard and felt, embraced, uplifted and supported. And every time I was having a hard parenting day (and there were plenty!) I knew I had a space I could take my emotions to for release.
I want to bring this gift of circles to my community of parents I serve. I want this to be your village where you can come as you are and walk away each time feeling a little more filed up and regulated than when you came. Join me for the next one, won't you?
What does a Parenting
Support Circle experience include?
PART 1
Opening Circle & Grounding
Welcome, introductions, intention setting and a grounding session
Parenting Challenge + Solution
Registered attendees can submit their parenting questions or challenges prior to the Circe. The facilitator will identify 2-3 themes and offer solutions.
PART 2

Closing Circle
We close in gratitude, affirmations and action steps for the coming weeks
A Circle is typically 90 minutes long with a break inbetween. Sessions are conducted twice a month on a Sunday morning (please check for the timing in your timezone). All Circles are conducted virtually via Zoom. The flow of each Circle will remain consistent across the weeks. However, the exact content of the various sections will vary to best meet the needs of the attendees for the week. Circles are not recorded as they are experiential sessions.
