About This coach

Raising my son and daughter across the US, UK, Trinidad, France, and Switzerland has been a rich - and at times overwhelming - adventure. As a full-time expat mom, I put immense pressure on myself to “get parenting right.” But behind the scenes, I was stretched thin - juggling it all, losing my patience more often than I wanted, and quietly wondering why something that mattered so much felt so hard.


Over time, the connection I deeply longed for with my children began to fade. I missed the joy, the ease, the laughter. I craved support, understanding, and a new way forward - one that felt more aligned with the kind of mother I truly wanted to be.


That turning point led me to transformational parenting.


Today, as a certified parenting coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting, I support overwhelmed mothers in creating calmer, more connected relationships with their children - without yelling or punishment. My approach is rooted in deep listening, compassion, and trust. I hold a safe, non-judgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and uncover solutions that truly fit your family.


Having lived and parented across cultures, I bring a unique sensitivity to the complexities many families face. I believe that authentic connection is the foundation of peaceful, confident parenting - and the key to raising emotionally secure children.


It’s an honor to walk alongside mothers and guide them to step into their role with more clarity, calm, and confidence.


When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me enjoying chocolate, soaking in nature, traveling, or cherishing time with my children - who are now off at university but still very much connected to my heart.

What Makes THEM Special?

Calm, Connected Parenting - With Support That Truly Understands You


At Precious Parenting Coaching, I support overwhelmed moms of toddlers to teens who are tired of the daily cycles of yelling, power struggles, and self-doubt - and are ready for a calmer, more connected way of parenting.


My approach is thoughtful, practical, and deeply supportive. Using my signature PAUSE Framework, rooted in conscious parenting, I guide you to understand what’s really driving behavior (yours and your child’s), so you can respond with more calm, clarity, and confidence.


This isn’t about getting it “perfect.” It’s about creating meaningful shifts that help you feel steadier, more in control, and more connected to your child - even on the hard days.


Transformation happens in this space we create together. You’ll feel heard, understood, and gently guided - without judgment - while building tools and awareness that truly fit your family and your values.


With a background in psychology, early intervention, and baby massage, and years of parenting across cultures, I bring both professional insight and real-life understanding into every session.


I’m especially passionate about supporting mothers who sense there must be a better way - and just need the right support to find it.


If you’re ready to get cooperation and respect from your child without yelling, want to feel calmer and more aligned with the kind of mom you want to be, I’d love to connect with you.
