You may also feel that....
Issues from the past have reared their heads - just when you are least able to handle them

How it Works:
Our Parenting as a Transformative Path program (PTP program) helps you find the transformative opportunity that parenting offers. We help you maintain on-going access to new shifts in your parenting amid the normal ups and downs, as you reclaim a beautiful relationship with your child.
The PTP Program is not about another thing to do or to live up to! It’s actually the opposite: it’s about doing less and feeling ok - just as you are.
As you follow this program, you will find more presence, joy, and stability. You can have healthy boundaries no matter what is happening on the outside. Many people witness almost immediately the benefits to their children from stepping into a conscious parenting journey.

Parenting as a Transformational Path Program- Online
The PTP program is a transformational experience for you to “really get” how parenting can help you evolve, and in the process support your child.
The PTP program is not about feeding you information, or imposing parenting ideas onto you.
We are committed to you each step of your journey and we walk with you knowing that you and your family are unique.

What is the format of the PTP program?
The program is 8 weeks and is designed to be flexible. It includes:
Four individual sessions (online or in person)
One live webinar (which includes group time) and one Q&A session each week.
There are also daily practices and homework.
The online calls are recorded so you can re-watch them or catch-up on what you have missed.
I'm already busy, is this program a lot to take on?
Yes and no.
No, in the sense that it is not about doing more. It is about doing less and getting more out of your life.
Yes, in that it does take a commitment and intention to look closely at what challenges you in parenting and persevere to find the gold in the challenge.
You can schedule a 30 minute call with us to determine whether this program could fit into your life.
What gives you the knowledge and experience to lead the PTP Program?
We are experienced therapists with Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Master of Social Work (MSW) designations. Both of us have extensive post-graduate training in attachment theory and developmental psychology. We have worked closely with parents and families for many years.
We’ve fully walked this path. We have been the struggling post-partum parent, the parent who yells, the not good enough, stuck in misery parent and much more.
We’ve learned things the hard way, but you don’t have to. We know the path to a different place.
The core of our work is honouring you as a parent. And knowing that you are the parent your child needs. No one else. We trust the love between parent and child no matter what the challenges are.
What is the cost?
The program is $1895.00.
*If you have extended health benefits then the individual session portion of the cost (600.00) may be eligible to be covered under an extended health benefits plan. Also please check with your insurer for additional coverage above the individual session fee.
This cost includes the weekly webinar, Q&A and four individual sessions but most importantly, the outcome you get. The cost also includes access to our help for the duration of the 8 weeks. This is a supportive and transformational program where we walk with you each step of the way.

I would like to jump in and work together. What is my next step?
Congratulations on taking the leap to transform your parenting life.
Your next step is to book a free 30 minute call with us. In this call we have a conversation about what you are seeking and determine whether we would be a fit to work together.
Even if we decide it is not a fit, you will have spent your time well by stating your desired direction on the parenting path - this alone can support you moving forward.
We look forward to meeting you!
How can I get the most from this program?
You will get the most from the program by making a personal aim that is founded on your deep intentions for yourself and your family. Commitment to the weekly group calls (or listening to the re-play) and the daily practices and homework are also key. Your personal sessions will also allow you to dive deeply into the program. If you have questions and challenges, we are available to you throughout the program.
The success of the program includes your willingness to show up and be curious and engage in the work needed. The good news is you will have support every step of the way and the work will be personalized to you.
Book a free call with us and together we can discuss your best path to go forward.
Can you tell me more about the group sessions?
The group sessions create a rich resource for supporting each other and allowing for an “all in it together” feeling. The group process opens the door to vulnerability, healing, growth, accountability and clients have told us that it is a conversation that just doesn’t happen in the outside world.
When you say parenting as a transformative path what do you really mean?
When we speak of parenting as a transformative path, we mean that you will understand how your children are a catalyst (or teacher), showing you how to be more of who you really are. This can appear as patterns that are difficult to break, even if you know better.
An example will help explain.
Say your school-aged child is having difficulty. They are reluctant to go to school and are experiencing social problems and academic hardship. A voice inside you says they can do better. What will happen to them if they fail? How will this impact their future?
Words are coming out of your mouth that you later regret. It feels repetitive. One day in the car you remember the practices you learnt on the parenting path. You stop, really stop, and breathe and let go of all your thoughts about the situation, let go of your fear and resentment. A space opens. You hear yourself saying to your child, “You are really suffering.” “Yes,” they respond. “I am.”
You feel both happy and sad in that moment. Your child feels really seen. You can now take creative action in partnership without ignoring the issue and without getting caught in fear.
Life continues. Yet there has been a shift. You have seen clearly for one moment and it changes all the moments to come.
When you see your child without anything super-imposed from your own history or story is a moment of using your parenting life as a transformative path. They are fully who they are and take that with them.
This is a moment of full presence, which feeds our children like nothing else can.
Can you give some more details on what theories you use in this program?
This course is based on both: attachment theory (Dr. Gordon Neufeld and AEDP Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and wisdom/spiritual traditions (Tibetan Buddhism & the Western Baul path). Please ask us for more details.
Is this course a good fit for you?

In this call we’ll have an honest conversation to explore what you are seeking and determine whether we would be a fit to work together.
