From Overwhelm to Peace; My New Group Coaching Program for Parents of Highly Sensitive Kids

Parenting a highly sensitive child is a gift—but it can also feel overwhelming.
If you’re like many parents I talk to, your days may be filled with:
Meltdowns that leave you drained
Power struggles over the smallest things
Constant second-guessing of your parenting choices
Walking on eggshells to avoid “setting your child off”
It’s exhausting, and it can feel so isolating. You love your child deeply, but sometimes you just wish parenting could feel easier, calmer, and more joyful.
You’re not alone. 🌱
What If Parenting Could Feel Different?
Imagine shifting from…
😣 Daily meltdowns → 🌿 More calm at home
😣 Feeling stuck and unsure → 🌿 Confidence in your parenting
😣 Exhaustion and stress → 🌿 Deeper peace and connection with your child
That’s what’s possible when you have the right tools, understanding, and support.
Introducing: From Overwhelm to Peace
An 8-week group coaching program designed specifically for parents of highly sensitive kids.
In this small, supportive group, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Respond to meltdowns without escalating the conflict
✨ Break free from daily power struggles
✨ Understand your child’s emotional world with empathy
✨ Build confidence in your parenting choices
✨ Create more peace, connection, and joy in your home
You don’t have to figure this out alone. This group is a space to learn, grow, and be supported by others who get it.
Enrollment Closes On Sunday, 9/21/2025
Enrollment for this round of the program closes in just a few days, on September 21st, 2025. Once the doors close, they won’t reopen until the next round—so if you’ve been thinking about joining, now is the time.
A Final Word
If you’re parenting a highly sensitive child, you already know the challenges are real—but so is the opportunity for deep connection and growth. With the right tools, parenting can feel less like constant survival and more like the peaceful, confident relationship you long for.
I’d love to walk this journey with you. 💜

I f you are the parent of a highly sensitive or strong-willed kid, stuck in constant power struggles, meltdowns, or angry outbursts, I’d like to share something with you. This is my method how I transform families. I’d like to share exactly how I take families from constant power struggles and meltdowns, to peace, harmony and connection . In only 12 weeks. Working one-on-one with parents. Via weekly Zoom calls. Here is What I Do: Step #1 : We transform your listening, so your child learns how to listen more respectfully to you, too. Step #2 : We strengthen self-empathy & self-compassion, so you feel connected, confident, and joyful as a parent. Step #3 : We stop patterns leading to big explosions and dysregulation. This means your child has fewer meltdowns, and you can actually enjoy your child, and stop walking on eggshells. Step #4 : We teach you how to set boundaries peacefully, so your child behaves better, listens more, and argues less. Step #5 : We stop sibling fighting, so your children get along better, and you don’t need to constantly referee fights. Step #6 : We focus on communicating differently, so your kid is more open to feedback and correction, and less likely to shut down, lash out, or become defensive. Step #7 : We learn how sensory challenges and your child’s high sensitivity might be creating challenging behaviors--so we can make life easier for you both. Step #8 : We get you and your partner on the same page, so you can stop disagreeing about parenting and start supporting one another. Step #9 : We celebrate your child’s unique personality, so you can enjoy your child, and stop feeling stressed, anxious or fearful about their future. Step #10 : We focus on your needs as a parent, so you feel less stressed, more calm, and joyful. So then what? What happens next? How will you feel? First, you will feel calmer. More confident. You’ll enjoy your child more. You’ll see your child in a more positive, hopeful way. You’ll connect better. Your child will listen more. Behave better. Have fewer meltdowns or big emotional explosions. You’ll notice your child using words to express their emotions and needs in healthier ways. You and your child will both feel less reactive, less bothered by little issues, and more able to find joy and connection. If you have a partner, the two of you will feel more like a supportive parenting team, and less likely to feel criticized, blamed, or judged for your parenting. You’ll have a shared vision and goal in parenting, and understand how to support each other better. You’ll feel more confident setting peaceful limits, and your children will be better able to hear you say no and tolerate the feelings that come with that. You will be able to go places that you might not have taken your child in the past, for fear of what might happen. If you have multiple children, they will fight less, get along better, and learn how to handle conflict between themselves more. If you are highly sensitive, you will better understand how to support your own needs as a parent, so you are less likely to feel overwhelmed and overstimulated, and more likely to feel energized and at peace. If your child is highly sensitive, you’ll better understand how to create a life that supports your child’s unique needs, and know how to make life function better for everyone. ******* If you are ready for support with your highly sensitive or strong-willed child’s big emotions or power struggles, you don’t have to do this alone. Let’s chat, and I can share more about how I can help create harmony. Schedule a free call with me today.

Many common challenges parents face with children misbehaving or being oppositional are actually signs of hidden sensory issues. This includes challenges like meltdowns, picky eating, hyperactivity, and resistance to hygiene—these can all be signs of hidden sensory issues. Discover practical ways parents can support their child’s sensory needs with empathy and simple accommodations.

These are the parenting ideas that help me to show up when life is messy. I call them my parenting mantras. How did I come up with these?
They arise from my experience as a mom for 16 years; my experience helping parents create peace and connection as a parent coach for 8 years; and my experience helping parents of NICU babies handle new parenthood and a child’s health crisis as a pediatrician in the NICU for 20 years.
These mantras that have helped me through my own struggles, and I think they can help you as you navigate parenting struggles, and seek to create a more peaceful, connected home as well.
