Welcome to Integrative Parent Coaching

Learning how to parent from the inside-out…

If you’re here, I’m guessing you’re feeling pretty crispy. Or maybe completely fried and painfully stuck.

You’re looking for help because things just feel unmanageable and you’re nearing or at your limit. Whether that’s feeling miserable or unhappy with life, or because the added stressors of parenthood are sucking the life out of you.

I believe having children is supposed to be something that adds more love and joy to our lives, not just more stress and overwhelm.

But nobody prepared us for raising children right now, where the expectations, challenges, and technological advancements are so new and unique. There are so many more and different kinds of stressors. In my experience, simply focusing on finding the “right” parenting approach is not enough to tackle the increasing amount of pressure and overwhelm felt by so many parents today.

I won’t tell you how to parent your kids, ways to get your partner more involved, or mention anything about “family meetings” and definitely not doubling down on boundaries that aren’t working.

So, if you’re looking for a coach who will tell you what to do with your kids, that isn’t me.

If you’re looking for someone who can help you… 

-Reduce stress

-Develop deeper empathy and patience

-Develop more aligned habits and choices…

So you can show up as a happier and more relaxed leader in your own life and home, I can definitely support you in that.

And while there are plenty of ways to accomplish this, I focus on tending to the root cause of whatever it is you’re desperately trying to manage right now. Whether that’s bedtime battles, transitions, juggling work-parenting life, or generally trying not to hate parenthood, your children, or your partner (…or yourself), there’s often something lurking below the surface that needs attention.

In addition to offering communication and relationship strategies, I use gentle neuroscience-informed approaches to holistically coach you through these deeper challenges, so change in daily struggles can emerge more easily.

Take care and talk soon,

MY COACHING APPROACH

  • STRESS REDUCTION

    Focusing on strengthening your inner calm makes parenting strategies and skills more effective.

  • HABITS

    Shifting habits so they’re more like high return investments instead of high interest credit cards can make life feel like it’s working for you and not against you.

  • REPAIRING RELATIONSHIPS

    Life is easier when we have loving and supportive relationships. This starts with learning how to be our own best friend.

Hey there! I’m Sabrina

I’m Sabrina, a person who has been through many of life’s ups and downs, as someone with undiagnosed neurodivergences, growing up in an emotionally neglectful home.

I became familiar with the mental health care system at an early age and have gone through substance and alcohol addiction and recovery. Learning how to navigate chronic stress and trauma in parenthood has been a constant part of my story.

With many years of education, healing, and being naturally deeply feeling and seeing, I’m passionate about sharing my experience and knowledge to help other parents heal and reclaim their lives.

I’m also an unschooling mama to two sensitive and spirited souls, a graduate student studying Consciousness and Transformative Studies, an MFT drop-out, and a certified change worker.

I love all things spiritual, intellectual, sci-fi and woo and connecting with other creative and passionate humans.

  • Testimonials

    “My work with Sabrina was incredibly powerful. Her compassion, understanding, and ability to hold space for my most intense emotions gave me a profound sense of comfort and safety during our sessions. She also taught me truly effective and practical coping mechanisms that have been immensely helpful in my day-to-day life. I would highly recommend Sabrina's coaching for anyone seeking a greater sense of self and agency in their lives.”
