With the right parenting toolbox you have
Less Worry and Less Stress
When you have parenting tools to handle challenges you no longer waste time or energy not knowing what to do — or wondering if you’re doing the right thing.
Better Relationships
When you know exactly what communication tools to add to your toolbox, you get to know your kids better and grow your connection.
More Confidence
When you have better tools in your parenting toolbox, you parent with more confidence and raise
confident kids.
The days may be long, but the years are really short.
Don’t waste the time you have worrying
or battling with your kids.
You deserve to experience the joy of parenting.
It's unfair to expect that you will instinctively know how to parent well.
When you start a new job, there is always a training period. You’re given instruction guides and videos, as well as time to learn about the company and the job before you’re expected to work independently.
Becoming a parent may be the most important job you’ll ever have, but there is no training period or instruction guide for parenting! We expect to instinctively know how to raise kids.
But instincts don’t prepare you to handle meltdowns at the grocery store, big emotions, a preschooler that hits, or how to deal with all the various challenges that come up at school.
This leaves most parents guessing...
Or using advice from the internet or friends, trying to do the best they can while feeling frustrated and at a loss.
- Are you constantly on edge? All it takes is for one kid to not cooperate or forget something and then everything falls apart?
- Do you find that your cup is completely empty by the end of the day, so you end up snapping when your kids ask you for something and then you feel terrible?
- Is your child struggling with meltdowns, transitions, issues at school, or any host of things… and you are at a loss and don’t know what to do?
- Are you tired of everything you ask becoming a battle?
If you have read the books, scoured the internet, and tried countless strategies — but the days and months have gone by and you’re still at a loss, not feeling like you are the parent that you wanted to be or finding parenting really hard, you’re in the right place.
I get it. I thought I was going to be a naturally great parent, until I had kids.
Then I found out how much I didn't know.
I was at a loss.
I was a mom, a wife, and an entrepreneur running a company.
On the outside my life looked great, but on the inside I was miserable.
I was insecure, overwhelmed, and at a loss for much of my kids’ early years —
always emotionally exhausted and running on empty.
I hired a coach to help me get out of overwhelm and find some semblance of balance and peace. I didn’t realize how much coaching affected my parenting until my daughter commented that things were different at home. When I asked what changed, her response was “you did”.
That was almost 10 years ago. Coaching changed everything for me and my family. My relationships with my kids improved exponentially, and we have more peace in our home and lives.
I became a Certified Professional Coach because I wanted to help parents like me.
I now coach, speak, and run workshops so I can help as many parents as possible.
I had to learn how to parent well and I can help you too.
Once you have the right parenting tools in your toolbox, it gets so much easier.
Don't just take my word for it...
READ WHAT MEL'S CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY...
I am becoming the mother that I wanted to be…
I was anxious because I wasn’t the mother that I had envisioned myself being. I would often get stressed or unhappy with my reaction to certain things with the kids. After working with Mel, I feel as though I am more in control and can handle situations that used to stress me out much better. I am becoming the mother that I wanted to be.
– Rebecca B. Mom of 2
Even my friends are noticing…
I have been seeing Mel for parenting coaching and her sessions have had such an impact on me that even my friends are noticing. I received this text message the other day from a good friend… “Hey Liz, I just want to tell you I saw a HUGE difference in your confidence in your parenting this weekend. I can tell your work with Mel is really resonating with you. I’m SO happy to see this! You’re a wonderful parent and always have been, but it makes me so happy to see you be less stressed and able to enjoy yourself when with your kiddos”
– Liz C. Mom of 2
I'm calmer, more present, and more confident…
Coaching was not what I expected, and I ended up having “wow” moments in every coaching session. Mel always gave me a new perspective that I hadn’t thought of. I learned to stay calmer and more present. When my kids come to me with issues now, I’m able to separate myself so it’s not about me and I’m able to just be there for them. Coaching has definitely given me more confidence and I’m showing up differently as a parent.

Stop worrying and guessing, and start parenting with confidence with the right parenting toolbox.
As a mom and parent coach, I know that you want to be a great parent and feel like you’re doing the right things to raise great kids.
In order to do that, you need to know how to handle and address issues as they come up with your kids.
The problem is that when issues come up and kids are struggling, most parents don’t know what to do, and they feel at a complete loss.
I believe that parenting shouldn’t have to be so hard, so I created a parenting toolbox full of research-backed tools
that are simple and easy to use and proven to work.
With a confident parenting toolbox, you’ll have better relationships and more time to enjoy your kids.
