Parenting: Embracing the Unpredictable

Holistic Parenting
Conscious parenting is the mindful approach I recommend for parenting throughout a lifetime. There is less emphasis on the present moment and more on looking at the family system as it grows holistically. Before I became a parent, I worked with children as a therapist.

Vocation Motivation
One of the greatest secrets in the therapeutic community is resilience, as previously mentioned. This resilience give us the strength to say "I'm not giving up, I can cope the best way I can, but I am not giving up." When we don't give up on our family, friends and self we find better ways to live in that "heart" place. The therapeutic space is one of transformation, where resilience and coping mechanisms are not just discussed but practiced and honed. It's a realm where the resilience of the human spirit is celebrated, embodying the determination to persevere and find meaning in the heart's deepest recesses.
