Create a Legacy of Lasting love

Are you ready to build a foundation of deep connection and understanding with your child, so parenting stops feeling like guesswork and starts feeling like 

an inner knowing you can trust?

Soft Ripples Pattern

If you’re here, you’re a devoted parent who wants to see their child thrive. 

​

You’re tired of conflicting advice and trial-and-error parenting and want to stop the cycle of reacting to crisis after crisis. Deep inside you know there’s a better way to find calm and peace in your home while building a loving and safe relationship with your child.

 

Imagine having someone who helps you connect the dots between your child's behavior, emotions, and learning, instead of treating each one as a separate problem to solve.

 

Together, we'll build a solid parenting foundation with tools and strategies you can return to again and again; through every age, stage, and new challenge that comes.

Hi, I'm Yael

Parent Coach, Special Educator, and Yoga Therapist with over 15 years of experience walking alongside families through the hardest and most tender parts of raising a child.

​

I'm also the mother of four adult children so I know firsthand how perplexing, and rewarding, this journey can be. I’ve been there; unsure of what’s best for each of them, wondering if I’m failing my children, confused by different approaches and advice.

 

Over time, I learned to combine my experience as a parent and teacher into an integrated whole.

As a special educator working with children who are autistic, have ADHD, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, and other diagnoses, I began to see a pattern that changed the course of my work: so much of what looks like a learning or behavior challenge is really the nervous system asking for support.

​

Here's what's missing in most parenting advice: the body. Regulating the nervous system, yours and your child's, isn't an extra step, it's the foundation everything else builds on.

​​​​

Once I understood the deep connection between the body, the emotions, and learning, I couldn't go back to teaching parenting strategies in isolation.

​

A holistic, somatic approach doesn't just calm the moment, it helps you and your child grow through difficult emotions, relate better, and learn better.

​​

That's why I created The Parenting Process, so families could benefit from a simple, holistic method for dealing with the challenges you face.

The Parenting Process follows a simple framework I call HOME, because that's exactly what you're building.

  • H - Hear the Message: Understand the unspoken need behind your child's behavior.

  • O - Observe the Gap: See where your child needs emotional, sensory or learning support.

  • M - Match the Support: Give your child what they truly need, not a generic strategy.

  • E - Empower Connection: Deepen your bond, and trust yourself as a parent.

When you stop managing the behavior and start understanding the need underneath it, the gap where your child has been struggling becomes the exact place you can finally show up for them.

​This is what HOME makes possible — and it's exactly what we build together inside The Parenting Process.

Your child's story is unlike anyone else's, and their support should be too.

" Working with Yael relieved so much stress I felt about my parenting approach and abilities. She helped me align my expectations of my son with ADHD. I now have a much better understanding of his learning differences; where he struggles, where he excels and how to support him."
