About This coach
I’m Maggie, and I believe that parenting is about more than just raising kids—it's about connection, respect, and helping our tiny humans navigate life with the emotional tools they need to thrive. My journey as a parent coach started with a deep love for my son and a personal understanding of what it means to create a family through adoption. Raising him has been my greatest inspiration, teaching me that the essence of family goes far beyond biology. It’s about love, respect, and the ability to connect on a deep, emotional level.
With over 20 years of experience as a creative director in the fast-paced world of advertising, I’ve learned that creativity, empathy, and strong communication skills are essential in both parenting and coaching. But what I truly love about being a coach is watching parents step into their full potential, feeling empowered to raise children with conscious respect, all while becoming more connected with themselves and their families.
I believe that every parent has the innate ability to create deep, meaningful relationships with their children. Let's not forget that we are raising the future. My role is simply to help them find it, with empathy, practical tools, and science-backed insights. I focus on connection and respect because, at the heart of empowered parenting, lies the ability to see children for who they truly are: wise, capable, and full of potential.
When I’m not coaching or writing healing stories for children, you can find me hiking in nature, diving into a new book, or dreaming up new creative projects. I’m passionate about storytelling and believe in its power to heal, inspire, and connect. Whether I’m leading a parent workshop, writing my next fairytale, or simply enjoying time with my son, I live for those moments of genuine connection that remind me why I do what I do.
Let’s connect, explore, and empower the next generation—together.
What Makes THEM Special?
In a world full of parenting advice, I offer something more personal, grounded, and transformative. What sets me apart as a coach is my deep understanding of both the science of child development and the art of empowered parenting. My 'special sauce' lies in combining my background as a child psychologist with over 20 years of creative communication experience. This allows me to not only provide parents with the tools they need to raise emotionally intelligent children but also guide them to connect with their kids in a way that fosters lasting respect and love.
I specialize in working with parents who want to break away from traditional parenting norms. If you’re looking to create a more conscious, emotionally connected family, I’m here to guide you. I thrive in helping parents who may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of how to tap into their child’s potential. Through practical tips, science-backed strategies, and heartfelt storytelling, I support parents in becoming the confident, empowered role models their children need.
I love working with parents who are ready to move away from punitive methods and instead embrace a respectful, conscious approach. Families who may be going through transitions—whether it’s divorce, adoption, or simply the everyday challenges of raising a spirited child—find my approach particularly helpful. I am especially passionate about supporting cycle breakers and non-biological parents like myself, offering a safe space for them to explore their unique parenting journey with compassion and strength.
One of the key aspects of my coaching is my focus on coregulation and the nervous system—helping parents understand both their child’s emotional triggers and their own. I bring a unique blend of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and empathy to each session, ensuring that you’re not just learning what to do but understanding why it works for your family.
My experience in advertising gave me a creative edge that shows up in everything I do. From crafting therapeutic stories that help children process big emotions to designing engaging workshops that make neuroscience digestible and practical, I create spaces where parents can learn, grow, and have fun. I’m not just here to offer advice—I’m here to help you create a new story for your family, one built on connection, love, and mutual respect.
