PARENTING IS AN ADVENTURE.

The high points are incredible, there are a lot of choices to make, and sometimes you get chased by big, scary dinosaurs.

I guide parents to embrace their imperfections and honor the vulnerability of what it means to be a parent.

Together we make the big, scary things manageable.

Let's go!

HI, I'M SARAH

I'm a Parent Coach and Seattle Nanny with a practice of relating to children based on equality, mutual respect, and love.

Having been the nanny behind the scenes in your homes, I understand that parenting’s challenges are complex and unique to all families. As a Certified Parent Educator serving virtually, my work emphasizes respectful parenting, a Health at Every Size framework, and a commitment to honoring natural play. Let's work together to empower your child to have a more loving relationship with their body than we may have had with ours.

CERTIFIED PARENT EDUCATOR

I don't have a checklist for us...

because your household and its needs are unique.

I use an array of respectful parenting philosophies to provide coaching services that give you the tools to understand what's going on in your child's world and find means of connecting with them in developmentally appropriate ways. Let me help you create relationships that are as safe, engaging, and open as possible, and put an end to daily power struggles.

This 6-week online series requires Jane Nelsen's book Positive Discipline
