Zen Parenting Means Harmony and Peace

In 2009, I was a new physician in the NICU with a new baby.  I loved taking care of babies and families.  But something was missing.


When I went to work, it felt like I left half my heart at home.


In the hospital, I was using my left brain—my analytic side.  But my more emotional, intuitive, heart-centered right brain, was ignored.  My emotions felt tamped down.  Colors felt muted. 


Parenting had allowed me to access the world in a way that felt HEART-CENTERED, authentic.  Like I was using my entire heart. 


I longed to bring this more emotional, intuitive way of being to everything I did. 


This is why I became a heart-centered parent coach. 


Parenting takes us on a journey, if we let it, to access the world in a more vivid, vibrant, emotional, holistic, sometimes terrifying, way.  With our whole heart.


If this resonates for you, if you are on a journey to bring your entire heart to parenting and life, I hope you will join me in my new class Zen Parenting.


This class is specifically for highly sensitive parents wanting to bring their entire heart to this journey, so they can find more peace and harmony on the other side. 


In this class, we will:

- learn about sensitivity, so we can understand, accept and appreciate ourselves and our children

-build peace in your home

-connect more deeply with your child and yourself

-And lots more wonderful, amazing things!
