Do you sometimes find yourself caught in the same parenting loop, over and over again?

You don’t mean to yell, but you end up raising your voice.  You don’t want to punish your child, but you don’t want to be permissive either.

You sound just like your own parents, but you really want to give your child something different.

You want to be the best parent for your child, but there is so much conflicting advice on every aspect of parenting.

You don’t want to be "implementing strategies" with your children – you want to be loving them, respecting them, and enjoying them.  Instead you’re just trying to get everybody dressed, get out the door, get everybody fed, and get enough sleep that you think you can manage doing it all again.

You feel you could be a better parent, if you just knew what to do differently, which things are the most important, and how to stay connected to your child, and to yourself, when everything’s feeling crazy.

You want to help your child grow up to be happy and emotionally healthy, and some days you feel like you just don’t know what they need.

• Are you a single parent, trying to take care of yourself and your children, navigating co-parenting with your child's other parent, and feeling overwhelmed?
• Are you a step-parent, trying to figure out how you fit in?
• Are you in a partnership, trying to juggle your intimate relationship, your parenting relationship, and different parenting styles?
• Are you an older parent, feeling like you might have had enough energy to handle kids when you were twenty?
• Are you a younger parent, feeling like you might have enough wisdom to handle kids when you're forty? 

Would you like to know, in your heart, that you are doing the right things to help your child develop more self-confidence, respect, joy, interdependence, and mental and emotional health, long-term?  Would you be a better parent if you had a specific, heart-based plan to work with your situation, tailored to your child’s personality, your personality, and your family’s circumstances? 

When stressful situations come up, and you reach towards old habits, would you love to know what to say and do instead?  Would you love to feel that you and your child's other parent are on the same page, and would you like to know what YOU can do when you're not?

What if you felt confident that your parenting choices were based on your own strong intuition, AND research that applies to your particular situation? What if you knew that you were doing everything possible to maintain, or regain, a strong, lifetime connection to your child's heart?  What if you felt confident that that connection would carry you and your child through the teen years and beyond?

What would it be like if you had peace of mind, knowing that the parenting choices you are making today are best for your children, and best for you, too? 

What if you had no guilt?       

"I was deeply touched and encouraged by what was said to me; (your work) is very encouraging and uplifting."

With connection-based Parenting Coaching, you will see and feel significant change in your patience, understanding, and stress-level. You will feel more in tune with your kids, more relaxed, and more loving when stresses arise.  

You will know how natural development stages affect your child's moods, behaviours, and interactions with others, and how you can support them in the learning they are reaching for.  You will have specific strategies to implement, and you will know that they nurture your child's heart. 

You will feel confident moving beyond the one-size-fits-all parenting advice on the market, and you will feel supported and nurtured as a parent.

Most importantly, we will work together to help you formulate your personal parenting philosophy, so that you will feel equipped to meet the ever-developing new challenges and opportunities that a growing child presents. 

There are sports coaches, business coaches, life coaches, and relationship coaches, but the most important role any of us will ever have is that of parent.

In our disconnected culture of high-stress and high-achievement, it is hard to know which advice to listen to. There are books, TV shows, parents, and parents-in-law, all wanting to help, offering words of wisdom that often conflict. Nothing can take the place of an open ear and suggestions that are specific to your circumstances, focused on your heart and your love for your particular, wonderful child.

Remember! 

Full Circle is not about quick-fix. It is about bringing beauty, fun, love, and joy into the everyday practice of parenting and into the learning that parents and children engage in together. It is about strengthening relationships by using proven, research-based, and intuitive practices to bring our love for our children into the world.

It is about creating physical, emotional, and social environments that nurture children and parents.  Full Circle focuses on the whole person, and the whole picture. It is a long-term approach which brings about significant short and long-term rewards for you, as parents, and for your children.

Full Circle respects that growth is a process, and meets you where you are in that process. Lisa Kathleen believes that parenting is the greatest personal development course out there, and we all know that the love we have for our children can inspire us to become more of the person we want to be.

Research shows that the vast majority of people are either exactly the same as, or exactly the opposite of, their parents in their attitudes towards any given thing – money, relationships, work, etc. This is true in every aspect of life, and we can help our children grow beyond us if we use this awareness to guide our parenting.

Full Circle is about you and your child – your hearts, your love for each other, and who you both are.

"Truly one of the most grounded and insightful people I know!  Lisa has made significant contributions to my life by way of her keen observations and her skillful way of helping me to discover better ways to handle situations and/or people that were immediately applicable.  She has been a delight to work with and I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.  Thanks Lisa!"  M.D.
