UNSHAKABLE
FAMILY
The 3 keys to building unshakable bonds with your children... and yourself.
"The most empowering skill you can teach your child is how to trust themselves. The second most empowering skill you can teach your child is that they can trust you.”

THE UNSHAKABLE FAMILY PROGRAM
Do you feel overwhelmed by your divorce? Do you feel like you don't know how to go about parenting your kids through the divorce? Are you afraid of the divorce messing up your kids?
I created the UNSHAKABLE FAMILY program after supporting my own two young children through their individual periods of crippling anxiety in our family's divorce. I'll never forget my children's panicked, tear-filled eyes, begging me not to let go of their hands before they had to enter the school.
After scouring books, podcasts, articles, and resources and finding most of the advice unhelpful, I leaned into my own practice as a trauma-informed somatic coach, along with the support of child therapy.
Eventually, when I heard my children belly laugh again for the first time and later, wave goodbye as they made their way into their school with their friends, I knew we had turned the corner.
At the heart of my program are the 3 keys to building unshakable bonds with your children. My desire is that as you learn the 3 keys and start to work on them with your children you'll also find yourself creating an unshakable bond with the one that matters most: YOU.
3 RESULTS FROM BUILDING UNSHAKABLE BONDS
You Can Unite Through Change
Connect compassionately and confidently with your children. Become an emotional anchor in yourself and for them. Learn how to hold your emotions and be a model for your children to do the same.
A parent who is able to feel and process their tough emotions is a parent who models to their kids how to do the same. And children who have parents who don't run from their feelings become adults who don't run away from you.
Your Intuition Knows
Become confident in honouring your intuition. Discover the security of knowing what feels right for you and your family.
Divorce throws everyone off. Everything feels confusing. You may feel like a shell of your former self. You may question your identity and purpose.
I'm here to reassure you that clarity always comes out of confusion. And overwhelm usually means you are on the cusp of a transformation. I'm here to guide you through it.
It's Not Your Fault
Free yourself from the guilt, shame, and blame of your divorce. It is not your fault as a parent. It is also not your children's fault for feeling this loss either.
While it’s difficult right now, the most important thing you can offer your children is self-compassion for yourself and as much trust in yourself as possible. You are doing your best. Everyone has a hard time during a divorce. You're not alone.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM A GOOD FIT FOR?
Do you want to gain confidence in how you navigate your divorce? Are you worried the divorce may mess up your children? Do you want to help your children gain confidence in themselves and build an unshakable bond with them?
If so, then my UNSHAKABLE FAMILY program may be for you.
You're a good fit for my program if you are:
- Willing to deeply commit to a system of change
- Not looking for a quick fix, but a long-lasting modality of change
- Serious about investing the time, effort, and emotional labour for change
- Open to self-examining old patterns that may not be serving you anymore
You are not alone.
I know all too well what it's like to come up against anxiety, overwhelm, and grief through divorce.
But I also know what it is like to tap into my personal alignment, walk on, and come out the other side. Finding small respites and moments of relief that come in the midst of processing the complicated emotions. And the feeling of finding joy, trust, and eventually, vitality again in the new you that emerges.
My Unshakable Family program is designed to help you identify how you may be unknowingly creating disconnection and eroding emotional safety with your children, while leading you through a framework that elevates you in being the confident, unshakable parent you were always meant to be.
