Parents:
you're not failing. you're learning a language no one taught you.

Behavior isn't random. Neither are your reactions.

​

Together, we'll uncover what's underneath both and how to more peacefully navigate this (dare I say) extreme sport called parenting.

​

I guide you away from shame-, obligation-, and anxiety-driven parenting toward intuitive, regulated, authentically you-driven-parenting.

 

Because when we can make sense of what makes no sense, parenting can feel a whole lot less confusing and a whole lot more connected.

"behavior is communication

and parenting is an art, and I know you have SO much to offer your kids. we'll work on ensuring you feel regulated and confident enough to embody it."​

You are not alone!

I've created this brave space  for you.

 

maybe you're here because...

  • You're seeking deep, grounded, thoughtfully unconventional parenting support from someone who combines pediatric expertise, evidence-based insight, and lived experience, while always prioritizing the human behind the parent. 

​

  • Your noticing more "behaviors" in your child, and you're not sure how to navigate them.​​

​

  • You're feeling triggered by your child's behavior, but you know deep down your child isn't just "giving you a hard time."

​

  • You want to break cycles, but you keep finding yourself in the same patterns of response.

​​

  • You want to parent with boundaries, but you know you and your child are craving better connection, too. 

​

  • You've consumed plenty of parenting advice, but getting from where you are to where you want to be in your parenting journey is still feeling sticky. 

​

  • You're craving support that feels human, raw, deep, and truly supportive (maybe like something you haven't even had before?)

​​

  • You want a box full of specific tools that actually work for you and your child to help every (single) challenging experience!

​

  • You need guidance to finally employ and EMBODY what you've learned and what you know is right for you.

--you are not broken.

--your family is not doomed.

you're LEARNING,​

​

and I've got you, 

because I believe

wholeheartedly that

supporting children

starts with supporting 

the humans raising them.

“Ashley is a true bright star. Whenever I shared my reflections, she brought a beautiful and bright light to the hope I carried inside. Deeply learning about ourselves could feel incredibly shaky and challenging at times, but Ashley's unwavering optimism helped me learn how to find appreciation even in difficult moments.
 
As her classmate at the Jai Institute for Parenting, I benefited immensely from her reflections and insights. I am absolutely certain that many parents will feel deeply supported and uplifted by her."

what makes this space different

Parenting support that goes deeper than behavior charts.

​

We explore: 

  • Nervous system science ​(self- and co-regulation)

  • Attachment and relational science (secure/insecure attachment patterns and importance of connection)

  • Brain development and reasonable expectations

  • Mindsight (the ability to perceive our own inner thoughts, feelings, memories, and those of others)

  • Limiting, adoptive, maladaptive beliefs

  • Emotional intelligence (embodying empathy for ourselves and others)

  • Non-violent communication (an understanding that communication is an expression of our feelings and underlying unmet needs)

  • Generational patterns and cycle breaking with gratitude

  • Repair after rupture (there's always hope)

  • YOU (the parent underneath the parenting)​
