Being a conscious parent is not about arriving at a destination…after which you have earned the title “conscious parent.” It’s not a designation to put on your resume, or a symbol of having achieved a certain level of mastery of its principles. It’s about the commitment to the journey – and it can start on day one. You can choose TODAY to be a conscious parent.

We can all practice these skills and achieve various levels of mastery, however the genuine intention towards the journey is the most important piece that matters.

While there is a full spectrum of what that looks like from the outside, the most important aspect of being a conscious parent is the intention.

How I got here

My passion is sharing knowledge with others, and I’ve done that through a variety of ways.  I’ve taught in-person seminars and teleclasses, and have spoken at companies as part of their wellness programs.  I pretty much say yes to any speaking opportunity I get to share my experience with others, in hopes that they may […]

I set this blog up a while ago, with the intention of sharing thoughts and ideas, answering questions that I get asked often, and commenting on information that comes across my daily practice of conscious health.
