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

I’d love to a have a quick 15min chat to work out how I can best help you.
A Parenting Reset Includes:
Self-Directed Pre-Session Activities
You’ll receive five short, self-paced activities as soon as you sign up. These will help you reflect on what matters most to you and enable you to share your parenting context with me. Each takes 5-10 mins to complete, or longer if you would like to use them as powerful conversation starters with your partner.
Weekly 1:1 Coaching via Zoom
We’ll carve out this important child-free time each week to get our heads together and deep dive into what’s happening in your world. Strap in ready to look at the patterns showing up, clarify where change is most needed, and for creating practical evidence-based plans tailored to you – so that you can head into each new week with confidence and direction.
Curated Resources, Delivered Weekly
Each week I will personally deliver to your door (or post to you) a curated pack of resources to your door. Inside you will find simple prompts to guide that week’s family meeting, along with a hands-on tool or activity to help you teach, explore and bring that week’s concept to life with those little blighters of yours.
Between Session Messaging Support
You will have me in your pocket via the Voxer messaging app – perfect for those moments when you need a sounding board, a pep talk, or a little nudge in the right direction between sessions.
Ongoing Support Options
Once we have worked together through a Parenting Reset you will have me available to you as an ongoing resource. Parenting Check-In Sessions can look like us walking together, sitting together in Moa and Co. Cafe/Conscious Marketplace in Carrington NSW, talking by phone or Zoom calling. Book in here.

Online Courses
I have been curating my 17 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.
