Frequently Asked Questions

How is Coaching different from Therapy?

Coaching focuses more on the present and dips into your past to see how it is unfolding for you in your present. Coaching is a short-term process in which a client works with a coach, who is not a healthcare professional. The intention of the coach is not to fix or diagnose a problem with you, but to guide and usher you as you educate and transform yourself. Coaching is time bound.

Therapy may dig deeper into the past. Therapy focuses on past traumas and issues to change self-destructive habits, repair and improve relationships and work through painful feelings. Therapy can be a long-term process in which a client works with a healthcare professional to diagnose and resolve problematic beliefs, behaviors, relationship issues, feelings and sometimes physical responses.

Therapy and Coaching can go hand-in-hand so the client can choose to go to a therapist and a coach simultaneously.

What is Conscious Parenting?

In Conscious Parenting, the parent-child relationship is a symbiotic one where both are learning from each other. The focus is on the energy that parents bring to the relationship. The following are ways that the Conscious Parenting method can be beneficial to the parent-child relationship:

• Awakens parent and child to their authenticity
• Develops a connection between parent and child
• Gives the child a sense of self and feeling of worthiness
• Makes the child feel complete and whole

What is the role of a Conscious Parenting Coach?

• To focus on the parent’s behavior and attitude in the parent-child relationship
• To help parents control less and connect more
• To focus on authenticity over harmony or happiness
• To recognize that everyone comes with a past
• To help parents reach their most authentic and whole selves

Is Conscious Parenting only for Parents?

No. The core principles of Conscious Parenting are awareness, awakening, freedom and liberation. These are universal principles that if you fully embody in your life, you will be able to apply to any circumstance. Raising the inner child is also one of the core aspects of this method. This is not only beneficial in raising our own children but also makes the person whole and complete, creating greater possibilities for their unfolding.

Is Conscious Parenting too lenient?

Conscious Parenting is mistaken to be lenient because we are waiting for the child to lead the way. In reality, we are attuning and listening to the child. The parent is so present and connected to the needs of the child. Boundaries are set and held from a space of acceptance and understanding. The Conscious Parenting method is not against correcting the behaviors of the child and giving feedback. Instead, we first connect with the child, then we can correct the behaviors.

What kind of commitment do I need to make?

To see a significant change, I recommend each client to commit to the Conscious Parenting Method for 3 to 6 months. This timeframe will vary from individual to individual. Weekly one on one coaching sessions are recommended for effectiveness. Please come to each session with a commitment to work on yourself and a willingness to reflect.
