I was the patient, kind, curious, fun loving, say yes to everything kind of parent.
And then actual, real-life kids came along.
You know real feeling, have their own opinions and desires type kids.
And parenting got so much harder!
Instead of being patient I was snappy. I was way more demanding then I ever imagined I'd be and all those requests for fun just seemed daunting.
This wasn't working for me!
Now through LOTS of work and awareness I am able to show up in the way I always wanted to parent.
I am patient, kind, curious, fun loving and say yes when I can, and even in the times I can't show up the way I want (SURRPISE we're all human!) I have learned what self-forgiveness and repair look like.
Now I get to help parents find this too!
I am first and foremost a mom of two wicked babes and a Certified Parent Coach.
As a professional in Child Development and becoming a parent myself, I have seen first hand the struggles of day to day parenting. This threw me into coaching and has since become one of my greatest passions.
Let's just say it. Parenting can be so hard. I thought I was going to have it all figured out. My son had other ideas. His (what felt like) huge outbursts had me second guessing EVERYTHING including my ability to be a "good" parent. I had to make a change or I knew we were going to go down a path I did not want.
To change any behaviours in our kids we first have to look inward about the role we play. I work with parents to support them through this journey with compassion and steadiness so they can find the tools and strategies specific to their needs and the needs of their family.
"As I wrap up a 12-week coaching session with Ashley, I am so grateful to look back on all that I have gained and learned throughout the process. It has truly been life-changing work for me.
Week after week, I am amazed at how eye-opening the material is, and I feel like each week has been exactly what I needed in that moment.
I truly feel inspired and equipped to show up each day for my kids as best as I can, and I am able to understand and give myself so much more grace and self-compassion when I am struggling to show up how I would like. Not only has this session been beneficial to me as a parent, but it applies to all aspects and relationships in my life. Ashley has been so helpful, compassionate, REAL and raw. I felt like she truly listened to me and wanted to help. Thank you, Ashley, for all that you have done for me and my family - I am so excited to continue to grow and learn with you!"
