“In addition to providing strategies to approach some of the parenting challenges I was facing, like maintaining my connection with my teen son, coaching allowed me to take a step back and look at the way I was parenting from a different perspective. I had felt self-conscious about my parenting and was focusing a lot on the negatives in particular interactions. But with coaching, I was able to see the positive connections that were present in those same interactions. Gabrielle always made me feel accepted. I looked forward to talking to her each week and left our sessions feeling positive and excited to implement the strategies and ideas that were discussed.”

“Prior to finding Gabrielle, we were completely overwhelmed and struggling in our family life. We were navigating a lot of big life transitions, including a diagnosis for one of our children. Gabrielle’s process has been incredibly helpful, insightful, encouraging, and empowering. We were able to identify very specific goals to bring balance and enjoyment into areas of our lives that had been neglected for years. Gabrielle’s laid-back style and gentle guidance created a very open and welcoming atmosphere. This allowed me to be vulnerable in sharing deeply to make real, impactful changes. Her genuine enthusiasm with every parenting win shows her commitment to helping people access their highest parenting potential. Plus, the post-session recaps were always a highlight to see our progress and get clear on our goals.

“Coaching with Gabrielle has helped me slow down and look at situations in a ‘big picture’ kind of way. It allowed me to address issues more cohesively, not just when problems pop up. In coaching, I had the space to address problems in a way that was supportive and nonjudgmental. Gabrielle is very empathetic, a great listener, and sincere.”

“My coaching experience has had the most positive impact on my parenting and my family. Sometimes there can be such a simple solution for such a complicated issue and Gabrielle uncovered that for me. After coaching I feel more confident and equipped to manage the daily struggles I was experiencing. Gabrielle really listened to what I had to say and we worked together to think through solutions and roadmaps. She provides a safe, warm, and authentic environment.”

“I sought out Gabrielle’s coaching for help with tantrums and setting limits. With coaching, I feel a lot more confident in my decisions and my instincts. I have more tools in my tool belt. What I loved about Gabrielle’s approach is that she uses an appreciative lens that is so empowering. She has the right mix of being a listening ear and being solutions-oriented with clear next steps. I love her stance of finding a place to start, while acknowledging that if it doesn’t work, you then have data with which to determine another approach. Gabrielle’s summary emails are an excellent synthesis of our discussion and so helpful to look back on.”

Parent coaching helped me develop clear goals and plans. I have new approaches for managing screen time, setting boundaries, and increasing cooperation with daily routines. Gabrielle offered a nonjudgmental outlet to vent my parenting struggles. I've learned to forgive myself more and focus on what is working well. During our sessions, I felt like Gabrielle was holding up a mirror, highlighting the good, while also providing ways to minimize unwanted behaviors.

Before parent coaching with Gabrielle, we felt frustrated! We were completely out of ideas on how to handle our child's tantrums, and we felt like we were walking on eggshells around her. Now, we no longer fear tantrums. We have lots of strategies for dealing with tantrums while they are happening, but also before they even begin, as well as once they end. Gabrielle offers time for reflection and discovery. Engaging in coaching as a pair allowed us to recognize each other's strengths and align in how we parent our child.
