How I can support you and your family

Parenting your child, reparenting yourself

I believe that at the heart of parenting is the relationship you have with yourself, your child, and the connection you grow together. As the adult in the relationship, you play an important role in shaping the emotional environment your child grows up in. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours influence how your child experiences and reacts to the world. Stress, shame, and anxiety are contagious—but so are calm, empathy, and joy.

I support you in finding your own way as a parent—doing what feels right for you and your family, and feeling calm, confident, and supported along the way.

I know you’re a good person, even when you lose your temper or act in ways you don’t fully understand. You’re doing the best you can with what you have. Behind every behaviour—yours and your child’s—there’s a positive intention: a way of expressing a feeling or meeting a need, even if it comes out imperfectly or hurtful. 

Together, I help you build skills to regulate your own emotions, so you can stay calm and present with your child’s feelings—and gently teach them how to regulate theirs. -ELMA

My support is guided by three key concepts:

1. Connection – to yourself, your child, and what truly matters to you. What kind of parent do you want to be? I invite you to explore your own answer to this question—free from outside expectations—as you reconnect with your own values and intuition.
2. Emotional Wellbeing – for you to feel seen, heard and supported in your experiences and emotions, and for your child to feel the same. Together, we build the skills to navigate big and small feelings as they arise, and to develop trust in yourself and your capabilities—so you can pass this on to your child. 
3. Fun & Play – What if you could just relax and enjoy the moment? Play—joyful, free, and for its own sake—nourishes both you and your children and is an essential part of your wellbeing. How might it feel to make space for it together?
