WORK WITH ME

 

Hi, I’m Claire! 

 I wasn’t always the calm, regulated parent you see today.

Twenty-five years ago, I was a young mom, 3,000 miles away from family, raising four very different kids and quietly wondering, “What am I doing?”

I loved my children deeply.
And I still lost my temper.

I knew better.
And I still yelled.

That tension — loving your kids and still reacting in ways you swore you wouldn’t — is what led me here.

Over the years, through personal growth, professional training, and a lot of lived experience at my own kitchen table, I learned something powerful:

Parenting isn’t about knowing the right scripts.
It’s about learning how to regulate in real time — especially in the hard moments.

Today, I am a PCI Certified® Parent Coach, Positive Parenting Educator, and Mother Wound Coach. For over 10 years, I’ve helped hundreds of exhausted moms who “know better” but still lose it break the cycle of anger and guilt.

Not by becoming perfect.

But by learning how to:

• Stay steady in their emotional reactions
• Return to connection after rupture
• Build emotional safety at home
• Trust themselves when things get hard

My work focuses on emotional regulation, generational healing, and practical positive parenting tools that actually work in real life — not just in theory.

Because parenting doesn’t end when kids grow up.

I’ve supported moms of toddlers and parents of 18-year-old college freshmen. The questions are surprisingly similar:

“What do I do now?”
“Am I doing this right?”
“How do I stay connected when this is so hard?”

The parenting journey evolves — but the need for support, confidence, and connection remains.

I believe you don’t need to become a different person to become a calmer parent.

You need skills.
Awareness.
And someone willing to walk alongside you while you practice staying instead of shattering.

I’m also a stepmom and the mom of four young adult children. I live in Santa Barbara with my husband and our fur baby, Bella.

And if you’re here because you’re tired of yelling… tired of the guilt… tired of repeating patterns you swore you’d break…

You’re in the right place.

What is....

PARENT COACHING?

Parenting is hard and can make us feel alone.  We all face challenges at one time or another along the way where we feel stuck, overwhelmed or confused about what to do.  As a PCI certified parent coach® and Certified Positive Parenting Educator, I will work alongside you as we search for new insights into your strengths and abilities regarding your family's challenges and issues. You can expect approximately ten to twelve one-hour interactive sessions where the discussion will always be unique to your own family experience.  The goal will be to unearth fresh ways to address challenges and ultimately to achieve a better, stronger family dynamic.  There is no judgment, diagnosing or one-size-fits-all mentality.  Rather, there is unbiased understanding, compassion and support.  All sessions are fully confidential as I strive to provide a safe space for open and thoughtful communication.

COACHING HELPS FAMILIES WITH:

  • Setting boundaries / Disciplining

  • Improving communication / Listening

  • Power Struggles

  • Managing media and technology

  • Intrinsic Motivation / School

  • Staying connected with your children

  • Transitioning through life-stages

  • Need for more personal self-care

As your coach,  I can guide you through the discussion of topics like these and many others, helping you to understand your personal parenting style along the way while becoming more intentional, confident, and positive in your parenting journey.
