Be The Kind of Parent You
Want To Be
No parent starts off knowing what to do...
And without Conscious Effort, Our Parenting Methods Can Create Conflict Instead of Connection.
We have been conditioned in parent-over (authoritarian) or parent-under (permissive) approaches for generations. These parenting models create conflict and disharmony which results in disconnection.
We crave relationships with our children that are nurturing, peaceful and joyful!
It’s time for us as parents to transform our families by shifting out of old dysfunctional patterns to create harmonious, authentic relationships with our children.
When we work through our own history and heal, we can let go of the painful patterns we experienced in our own childhoods.
This gives us the foundation to be intentional and transform our relationships with our children.
Healing
Heal the wounds you experienced as a child and create a new family legacy.
Presence
Become a mindful presence of safety, trust and connection for your family.
Harmony
Experience peace, harmony and mutual understanding based in authentic respect with your children.
It’s Never Too Late to
Turn Things Around
Does your home feel like a battlefield instead of a haven?
None of us start off as the parents we want to be. We create plans, give our best effort and then watch as our idealism gets run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.
No matter what your relationship with your children looks like right now, there is hope. Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way.
But I promise you there is! Transformation happens through small, intentional actions performed consistently over time.
Hi! I’m Rachel Kelly-Smith
I became a parenting coach because I strongly believe that home and family are the roots of life. Turmoil, strife and disconnection at home negatively affects every part of our lives. Everything is more difficult when your home is a battlefield! Conversely, when home is a place of peace, harmony and connection we create a strong foundation that helps us to thrive. We are more empowered to be our best selves when our home is our haven!
None of us are born knowing how to create the home and family life we crave. Our frantic pace of life can cause us to get stuck in a pattern of reactive parenting based on our ingrained, learned behaviors from childhood. When I became a mother I certainly didn’t know what to do! But from that first moment of parenthood I yearned to have a completely different relationship with my kids than my parents had with me. After 22 years of parenting my four unique children and working with diverse groups of families I am absolutely certain that transformation IS possible, and it is not complicated or out of reach!
Oftentimes we don’t DO because we don’t KNOW. I became deeply passionate about supporting other parents in this transformational and life-changing work because I know how possible and beneficial it is to build a relationship with children based on mutual trust, understanding and care.
Do you crave becoming a calm, empathetic and present parent with authentic, connected relationships with your children? Do you yearn for emotional healing so that you can fully express your true self in your parenting? Transformation starts here! I am here to help you heal, learn and grow into healthy parenting based on presence and peace so that you can thrive in connected, harmonious relationships with your children.
The traditional styles of parenting aren’t working.
It’s time to embrace a better way.
You are doing the best you can with the tools and experiences you’ve been given. With me, you will find a place of safety, empathy and non-judgmental support because I honor the unique life journey you’ve been on that brought you here today.
The paradigm of parenthood is shifting. New science, tools and information are showing us the dangers of our ingrained, default parenting patterns…but we are also learning about the incredible potential of intentionally creating the family dynamics we dream of!
When you partner with me you will be met with non-judgemental openness, honest understanding and a supportive, personalized, effective plan for healing transformation that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
How It Works:
When you book a call with me or reach out via email, we’ll connect and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
Hope and harmony at home are within your reach, and it starts with this call. I will share details about my coaching style and what you can expect, as well as finding out more about you to see if we are a good fit based on your situation, expectations and concerns.
Take the first step towards transforming into the kind of parent you know you can be!
