Parenting is exhausting.
Especially the kind of hands on, loving, positive, uplifting type of parenting that you strive daily to do.
Parenting can be physically exhausting, emotionally draining, and can take precious time away from your career and your adult relationships and friendships as you pour your heart and soul into your child.
And even then, if under the very best of conditions parenting is an exhausting, overwhelming journey... what do you do if your child is faced with a trauma?
A life threatening illness?
A diagnosis you never expected?
A divorce you never planned on?
A traumatic death in the family?
A move that uprooted your child from everything they had ever previously known?
What if you are a single parent?
Or what if you have your own medical illness, mental health crisis...
...or are just stretched very thin between parenting and taking care of aging parents?
What if all of the above apply, all at the same time, and more?
Oh my goodness there are so many intense scenarios that can happen during childhood, and all you want to do is protect your child from the strain of it all, but you are already out of ideas.
Please lean on me.
Please let me help.
I am launching this heart centered parenting course from a deep, centered, experienced place within my own soul that knows you can get through this, that there are always new ideas that you can work with, that things change and shift over time and that if all you do is love your child, then you are doing enough.
I have navigated my own two children through terrible traumas that were completely unexpected and resulted in a complete shattering of their childhood. I have been down on the floor exhausted, praying and crying and not knowing what to do next.
But I have also continued to persevere, not allowing life circumstances to change the heart of how I want to parent, and you can and will too.
Not only a parent, I am also teacher, now on my 16th year of homeschooling both of my children.
Not only a parent and a teacher, but a physician... with extensive holistic knowledge on how to support my children's innate health best. I approach medical issues with a holistic mind first, but recognize the value of traditional medicine when needed. Navigating the conventional world of medicine, full of conventional treatments like antibiotic, Rx mediations, vaccines, you name it... I have the medical experience to separate what is helpful from what is harmful for our children's long term health.
Not only a parent, a teacher and a physician, but a single parent as well. Oh yes. I've done all of this on my own -- all while running a successful business -- right in the middle of the most exhausting years of parenting. I get it. I'm not just saying parenting is overwhelming, I am living the overwhelm right there with you.
Not only a parent, a teacher, a physician, a single parent, but also a court appointed advocate. Our trauma was so intense that it took us through surviving stalking, relocating for our safety, police reports, restraining orders, court drama... it was so traumatizing that I felt exceptionally motivated to turn around and start protecting not only my own children but also others in the legal system who might need help. So I completed Guardian Ad Litem training to become a court appointed professional child advocate for children caught in the legal system. As a Guardian Ad Litem who is also a physician, I am in a unique position to not only advocate for what it the best interest of a child, but what is in that child's best *mental and physical health* as well, even when they have complicated medical issues that must be addressed.
What does all this mean?
This means I have a huge tool kit to support you with.
I want to share all of my experience as a homeschooling mama, as a single mother, as a holistic physician, and as a court appointed child advocate (GAL) with you.
I want to give you ideas, solutions, encouragement, and support.
Join me in this very private, very personal, very honest, very sincere, very vulnerable, very supportive parenting class where we take two weeks to go over my top 10 pillars of boosting your child's innate sense of health and self esteem and power... to impact their health for the better for a lifetime.
In these two weeks I will send you daily uplifting articles, exercises, suggestions, videos, and more sent directly to you and we will have weekly live Q&A phone calls where I will answer every single parenting question -- health related or not -- you could ever ask me.
This course is a welcoming, loving space... and is perfect for any parent... mother or father, single or married, parenting babies, toddlers, preteens, teens... those with specific health issues or just wanting to boost their child's wellness... in crisis or in times of peace... conventional minded or alternative minded... all are welcome, all are wanted... all are here to join together in ensuring the best for your beautiful precious one-of-a-kind child.
