Hi, I’m Rebecca! I’m a behavior detective and I’m passionate about helping families like yours navigate the challenges of parenting with love and connection.

I work with families with children of all ages, from pre-conception to grandparenting and everything in between.

I specialize in:

  • Transitions: Helping families navigate significant life changes and the smaller transitions that happen every day (like getting out of the house).
  • Sticky Spots: Addressing every day challenging moments that disrupt family harmony (like bedtime disruptions and sibling squabbles).
  • Stuck Places: Working through bigger obstacles that feel impossible to get through (such as a power struggle with your child or partner).
  • Changing Transgenerational Patterns: Breaking cycles that aren’t serving your family (when what you’re doing isn’t working and you don’t have the tools to do something else).

 

I’m here to support you in finding outside-the-box solutions that help you reconnect through challenges, not in spite of them. I help parents feel more confident and capable so you can be the parent you want to be and the parent your child needs you to be.

After my own parenting struggles, I discovered that true change comes from understanding and connecting with our children. I’m here to help you find that connection in your family. 

Reach out today for a consultation at support@consciouslyparenting.com! We will respond within 24 hours.

Here are some of the main ways I support families:

A woman in my Holistic Mom's group recommended her and she was doing "phone classes/talks" at the time with Q&As. By the end of those calls I knew she was the one to help me better parent my daughter who was only 6 at the time. So she became our parenting/family/communication coach and even came to our home to observe us as a family unit to get us over a big, huge hump! More recently she has become a grief coach because my daughter, now 18, & I lost her dad, my hubby 3 years ago suddenly in an accident. We are also blessed to call her "familia"!</span></p> <p><i><span>Intuitive, gentle, alternative, good listener, companion are some of the words I use to describe Rebecca. Mine and my family's well~being has been enhanced by our relationship with her, she's always treated us with kindness and respect and <strong>never have we felt "broken" in her loving and supportive care.</strong> I think our years together speaks volumes for how great she is at what she does. And I can say she's evolved over the years and is always on the pulse of what's new and next to consciously parent & live a conscious life. There's no one I would rather have on my and my daughter's well~being journey than Rebecca."</span></i></p>

I have really discovered the power of the pause in every relational situation. Creating space for my verbal and somatic stories in the present and the past and those of my husband and child has been deeply healing for my entire family. I have also learned a lot about the influence of my birth story and that of my child on the way we deal with transitions in the present and ways to support ourselves better in these times. This is such a gentle, safe, somatic way of working - it often feels like a warm womb bath to be held in this way by the group and Rebecca - with presence, slowness, and attunement.”</span></p>

<div class="sow-testimonial-text"> <p><i><span>“Rebecca’s approach has never been to simply fix the problem but <strong>for me to learn my own tools for creating a better relationship with myself and my children.</strong> There is no punishment or blame anywhere. It is whole and encompasses the whole of reality. I used to yell and get scared and try to fix big, uncomfortable feelings with anger and force.</span></i></p> <p><i><span>Now, I can just stop and be present and trust that my children can work through whatever is up for them so as long as I am present with myself and my feelings and them, <strong>creating safe space for whatever needs to come through</strong> and be moved, to come to some resolution point.”</span></i></p> </div>
