When we begin to know ourselves in an open and self-supportive way, we take the first step to encourage our children to know themselves.

THEY NEED US TO STAY WITH THEM DURING THE STORM AND NOT TO LOSE OUR CENTERS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIRS.


Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves & our Experience" -Jon Kabat Zinn

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. (unknown)

" THEY NEED US TO STAY WITH THEM DURING THE STORM AND NOT TO LOSE OUR CENTERS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIRS "

As a parent, it is easy to become overwhelmed with feelings of frustration, stress, guilt & exhaustion.  Although parenting can present us with challenges that at times seem insurmountable, SOMETHING is possible. Mindful Parenting aims to help clients cultivate clarity and awareness in difficult moments, building compassion and acceptance for your children and yourself, just as you are.

Mindful parenting invites clients to develop new perspectives on their child's most difficult behavior, exploring their developing mind and gaining an understanding of what they may need, emotionally, physically and developmentally. Our work together will guide you through developing a mindfulness practice, noticing patterns of thoughts and feelings that lead to emotional reactivity and strengthening the ability to ​be present in the moment and "parent" from a place of calm and clarity.

Mindful parenting helps clients implement an overall effective and peaceful approach to helping your child manage his or her struggles, while promoting meaningful connections with yourself and your children each day, even during the most challenging times.
