Ready to Feel Empowered as a Mama? I’ll support you to raise more securely-attached children.
Together we’ll discover the best ways for you to connect with your kids of any age so they feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure. You'll learn the science and tools behind the most fun and supportive way to parent. It's never to late to start with this trauma-informed way of empowered parenting.
Welcome, Mama.
I see you, tired Mama.
You snap easily and more often than you want at your kids. You wish they would just do what you say...but they don't.
You lie awake at night wondering about the future or regretting the past. Are you doing enough as a mom? What would feel better?
You wish you knew a way to make this whole parenting thing feel easier and more fun.
I get it.
You want your kids to be happy and healthy.
You're exhausted and starting to feel like nothing you do really works anymore.
This parenting thing keeps changing and really takes it out of you.
The thing is, the old power-over ways of parenting are based on fear and you know in your heart that parenting using punishments, conditions, and time-outs only works for a little while and can be hurtful to kids.
On the other hand, too-permissive parenting doesn't feel right either. When you leave your kids hanging without enough support or structure and too much to figure out on their own that can leave them feeling like you aren't really there for them.
So what's the happy medium?
Empowered parenting is power-with parenting. It's an approach to parenting using the latest in nervous system and attachment theory, mindsight, emotional intelligence, and connected, playful, reflective and imperfect parenting. It's a set of tools and strategies to empower you and your kids to be yourselves and to put the relationship first. This kind of parenting creates more secure attachment between you and your kids.
Hey there. I’m Abby.
I’ll be your guide as you learn both the theory and application of a curated set of trauma-informed parenting tools and techniques. We'll practice together for 12 weeks as you grow connected relationships with your kids.
When my kids were younger and I felt so confused by all things parenting. I realized that the mainstream approach to raising my kids would not work with my heart and soul. I knew there was a better way.
I learned quickly to let go of the idea that I had control over my kids. They are their own people after all. Instead, I embraced the idea of creating a beautiful container for them to be themselves in.
I sought out mentors, classes, and books and learned everything I could about connected parenting.
I prioritized our relationship over their behavior. I learned how I could cultivate a secure attachment with my kids and things got a lot easier. I let go of outdated expectations and beliefs about how kids should be and embraced the kids in front of me, exactly as they were (and are).
I learned that I was largely responsible for how things go with my kids. If I could be their safe harbor, they could develop the capacity to learn and grow into themselves.
It's never been perfect, and that's not the goal. Instead they know I have their backs.
