FAQS

Who uses a parent coach?

There are as many different reasons for coming to coaching as there are individual situations.  Parents come to coaching from their own unique and personal contexts.  

Some parents want to gain a clearer understanding of their child’s particular stage of development; others want to renew their perspective and boost flagging energy levels; still others want to deepen the reservoir of compassion for their children and discover ways to parent that are compatible with their deepest desires for themselves and their families.  

Whatever your reasons for considering coaching for yourself, you can expect to receive the support you need to meet the challenges of raising your children in today’s world.

How does Parent Coaching take place?

Parent coaching sessions are typically conducted by phone, in the convenience of your own space and at a time most suitable for your schedule.  The sessions are each one hour in length and are generally scheduled every two weeks.

If you prefer, arrangements can be made to conduct the parent coaching in person.

In order to receive maximum benefit to your parenting, I recommend that parents commit to a series of 8 - 12 sessions, spread out over a 4 to 6 month period.  This allows maximum time for you to reflect on and practice the insights and ideas arising from each session. 

How much does it cost? 

Each parent coaching session costs $100.00 and includes the one hour coaching phone call, a written summary letter detailing discoveries made and new steps to take, and unlimited support by email between coaching sessions.  Hiring a parent coach is an investment that yields huge savings for you in time and energy for parenting well.
