Connection is the Key to Lighter Parenting and Thriving Kids
HELLO LOVELY!
I'm Jess
Parenting is, hands down, my greatest joy. I've also experienced the challenges - the pressure to “get it right”, the emotional triggers, and endless to-dos. They can be overwhelming.
I want you to know, it doesn’t have to be that way.
I'm here to help you reconnect with what matters most: the relationship between you and your child.
Parenting will always have hard moments, but huge shifts can happen when we let go of perfection and lean into connection instead.
The way we parent shapes not just our children, but also ourselves. And while there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, I believe that parenting doesn’t have to feel so hard.
I understand the challenges firsthand. I know what it’s like to feel stretched thin, question yourself, feel the guilt, and to wonder if you're doing enough. But here’s what I’ve learned: our kids need less from us than we think. They don’t need perfect parents. They need to feel seen, loved, and supported—exactly as they are.

My Approach
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to parenting — because no two families are the same. Instead, I believe — to my core — that connection is the key to everything.
Much of my work is grounded in the principles of attachment theory, which shows us that secure, attuned relationships are the foundation for a child’s emotional wellbeing. When we lead with connection, everything begins to shift.
It doesn’t just transform how our children feel on the inside — safer, more supported, more understood — it also makes everyday life easier.
When a child feels emotionally secure, cooperation flows more naturally.
Behaviour becomes easier to navigate. The whole dynamic softens.
I use evidence-based tools and techniques to help parents better understand their child’s needs, respond with confidence, and create a home grounded in trust and respect.
Along the way, I also support parents to gently explore their own patterns and conditioning, so they can show up from a place that feels aligned and true to them. You already hold so much wisdom within you.
I’m simply here to help you access it — and anchor into it.

Why I Do This Work
I know firsthand that parenting doesn’t just shape our children—it shapes us, too.
With a background in psychology and early child development, I understood behaviour and attachment theory on an intellectual level. But becoming a parent transformed that knowledge into lived experience.
Despite all I knew, I found myself yelling and feeling critical of myself for not getting it "right." So I explored my own patterns and triggers to truly apply what I'd learned.
I dived deep into what our children's behaviour really means - a communication of needs, a reflection of nervous system responses, and a result of missing skills (either through natural development or lack of skill mastery). When we parent with curiosity instead of control, everything shifts.
When connection is the foundation, children feel safe to come to us—not just in easy moments, but in the hard ones too.
That's why I do this work: to help you create a home where trust runs deep, challenges feel manageable, and parenting feels more connected.
You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm here to walk alongside you.
“Connection is a child's deepest need and a parent's highest influence.”
