My journey into parent coaching began when my son was just a year old. Like many new moms, I thought being a full-time parent would feel fulfilling—but instead, I found myself overwhelmed and reactive. I’d get frustrated over things like spilled food or messy play, and I often felt out of control and unsure of myself.

I started reading parenting books, searching for answers—tools I could actually use. But while the books gave me insight, they didn’t offer the practical, grounded support I was desperately looking for. Deep down, I knew something had to change—not just in my child’s behaviour, but in me.

When I signed up for a 12-week parenting program through the Jai Institute, I was filled with self-doubt and guilt. I constantly asked myself: “Am I a good parent?” “Why can’t I stay focused?” “What am I doing wrong?”

But that program changed everything. I learned that parenting isn’t about being perfect or fixing every problem. It’s about understanding, connecting, and being present—for your child, and for yourself. I discovered that when we meet our children with compassion, and when we honour our own needs as parents, real transformation happens.

That realization sparked a new purpose in me—to help other parents who feel the same way I once did. I became a certified parent coach, and that’s when Children’s Harbor was born.

Children’s Harbor is my way of giving back—a safe, supportive space where you can explore your parenting journey with real tools and empathy. You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we can raise children who feel secure, understood, and deeply loved starting with you.
