No parent starts off knowing what to do...
And without Conscious Effort, Our Parenting Methods Can Create Conflict Instead of Connection.
The way most of us have been taught to parent, creates conflict and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children.
When we parent our children without working through our own history, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different.
It’s Never Too Late to Turn Things Around
No matter what your relationship with your child looks like right now, there is hope. Depending on where things are, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our idealistic dreams get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.
Hello! I'm Mechelle Collins
I became a parenting coach because I wanted to help parents realize you do not have to parent from a place of guilt, fear, or shame. You can be resilient.
I believe resilience is about finding a way to be the parent you want to be, no matter what else is going on around you. Luckily, resilience isn’t something you either have or don’t have. And it’s not something you use up and lose. Rather, resilience is a skill you build throughout your life—especially when you find ways to get through a challenge.
I believe all children deserve to be guided and loved by the best version you have to offer them, as parents.
I know that you want to be a loving, peaceful parent that has a meaningful, positive relationship with your children. In order to do that you need to find a way to imagine and establish healing, mutual understanding and connection.
The traditional ‘POWER-OVER’ model of parenting isn’t working
Which makes you feel like you’re going to spend the rest of your life struggling with your children and continue to feel like you’re just not doing a good job as a parent.
I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
I understand how hard it is to ask for help as a parent. Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.

How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
"As parents, we believed the children needed to correct their behavior. Mechelle opened our eyes to see OUR reactions and behaviors were not creating the results we wanted."
