Parent Coaching
Parenting Reset
Get on the same parenting page
Working together towards raising resilient successful kids is quite likely the biggest mission you and your partner will ever undertake.
What makes it bonecrunchingly taxing, and then hard to do well, is not feeling united around a clear agreed-on plan.
Parents I work with commonly book in saying they are navigating concerns about differences in parenting styles alongside individual worries around whether they are ‘doing enough‘, ‘getting it right‘ or inadvertently ‘doing damage‘.
A Parenting Reset is a chance to be professionally supported as a couple to come up for air and ask yourselves (more formally than you have probably had a chance to since the little blighters arrived):
“Righto – what’s our plan here?”
“…and what key efforts will we benefit from putting the bulk of our finite energy into?”
There is a real security that comes from consulting a professional about what you are trying, how that is playing out, and ways you might tweak what you are doing for greater result.
Guided by credible research we will work together to have you returning home more confident in the ways you are:
- fostering connection
- giving clear and calm instructions
- effectively setting and holding limits
- emotion coaching your child
- managing your own emotional flooding
A Parenting Reset Includes:
Self-Directed Pre-Session Activities
x5 sent out to you as soon as you sign up (allow five minutes for each activity – more if you opt to use them as powerful couple conversation starters) the information these activities generate is terrifically helpful once we sit down face-to-face

Local Cafe Lunch Date
a chance to stretch your legs and nourish yourselves while you process the content of the morning’s session – order absolutely whatever on the menu takes your fancy, I want you to feel delightfully nurtured
Implementation Roadmap
you will go home with a customised at-a-glance plan so that your next steps toward your goals feel clear, bite-size and manageable
Customised Goodie Bag
as I get to know you I’ll hear which of the bits and bobs I keep supplies of are likely to help you most powerfully implement your strategies and connect with your youngsters. You will leave with all you need.

Online Courses
I have been curating my 15 years Parenting Education experience into some online offerings. Pop over and see if they could work for you and your family!
We came to Mel with a mix of big and little problems – big picture stuff of how we work as a family and parent as a team – as well as specific little things we wanted help with like meal times, managing big emotions and getting out the door. Mel nailed allllll of it.
Our Parenting Reset was such a good combo of exercises and ideas that have grounded us in our general parenting as well as great practical problem solving for specific issues.
We both felt so heard and validated by Mel and appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness of her advice to what suited us and our values as a family.
