What is Conscious Parenting?
What?
Conscious Parenting is a non-authoritative, non-hierarchical, and non-permissive method of parenting that overturns the familiar parenting paradigm. Parents are empowered to develop their relationship to their own intuition while gaining an understanding about what children need to thrive.
How?
Mutual respect, empathy, understanding, and healthy age-appropriate, boundaries give way to hierarchical, punitive measures. Conscious Parenting looks at the deepest need of children on a foundational level and their critical need to be respected, valued and deemed important, just as they are.
Why?
Conscious Parenting is not about fixing or changing the child. It is about focusing on the inner child of the parent and revealing how our early childhood experiences and unmet needs created lasting "imprints". These unconscious 'data points' are the foundation of our perspectives, beliefs, self-concepts, and outlook, and untended to, can become disruptive to our lives, especially with our intimate relationships.
​
When a parent understands the nature of their inner world and the difference between their conditioned-self and their true, authentic spirit, only then will their child be able to step into their authenticity and true self worth.
My Approach
Wherever you are, I will meet you there.
My role is not to fix. Why? Because the first Tennant of my philosophy is that no one is ever broken. My goal is to ease pressure in your life, not add to it by pointing out imperfections - a word that has no place in my vocabulary. The keystones of my coaching practice are compassion, empathy, open-hearted listening, and attunement.
I understand that change happens when we are ready, at the pace that is determined by our soul's unique trajectory, so the pace of growth is always determined by you.
What I will offer is a safe space to unfold into your own inner wisdom and intuition. As a Reflector of the Human Design system, I am skilled at illuminating areas of your life that need witnessing. Together we look at all parts - those in light, those in shadow, and we welcome them into wholeness and self-alignment. I will help you befriend your whole self, heal your trauma, and move stuck energy.
I will teach you to be your own guide and equip you with critical tools to thrive in the life that is yours. Exactly as it is.

By melding eastern philosophy with western psychology you will see the framework of your life and you will transform it into a life of liberation, abundance, fulfillment, and joy.

"I'm a conscious parent when I believe that my child is here to teach me as much about myself and how I need to grow, as I am here to teach them."

"Maya’s conscious parenting coaching came into my life like a gift from the universe exactly when I needed it. I had been through some devastating moments as a parent and I am grateful for Maya’s time, space, and wisdom. She carefully listens and gently challenges and coaches. I have come away with immediate, practical, and tangible steps to take in the most challenging moments, and they work! Maya guided me to reflect on myself and my own upbringing so that I could better understand myself and how my words, actions/reactions, and even my body language contribute to the dynamic at home. I am bringing a calmer, more genuine, and understanding version of myself to the relationship with my kids."
