We all start off our parenting journey with a ‘plan’

A set of expectations, dreams and aspirations for ourselves, our children and what our parenting journey should look like.

Chances are your ‘plan’ looked nothing like this.  

It can feel insurmountable to get your head around what is happening and what needs to be done because you have no idea what the new plan looks like. (I mean is there even a plan?)

Our families are so precious to us, the stakes to getting it right are high!

I get it!

I know what it is like to look at your struggling child or your family in survival mode and blame yourself.

I too have worked up the courage to ask for help only to feel the cold stare of others’ judgement of my parenting.

I know what it feels like to be dismissed and to be told that your instincts are wrong or that your children’s struggles are all your fault or ‘in your head’. 

I know what it’s like to know that you need help, but have nowhere to turn to receive it.

It can feel impossibly hard to trust others with these most vulnerable parts of you.

I’ve been where you are and I can help. 

Parent coaching

I specialize in working in partnership with parents who are seeking help in the following areas:

  • Support for your parenting role with neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, tools and strategies to aid your children and teens in managing behavior, anxiety, panic attacks, meltdowns, shutdowns, ODD, PDA, and autistic burnout. 
  • Guidance to understanding and adapting your parenting to match your child’s neurotype, addressing their needs, strengths, and challenges more effectively.
  • Assistance in aligning parenting approaches with a co-parent.
  • A safe space for asking questions about your child’s or teenager’s neurodivergence, (as well as your own).
  • A safe place to process your thoughts, feelings and grief.
  • Support with creating a new ‘plan’ for yourself and your family going forward.

Every neurodivergent person and family is different and has different support needs.

My support for neurodivergent individuals and families acknowledges their unique needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I prioritize listening to my clients and providing tailored support that aligns with their preferences and family dynamics.

I offer empathetic, trauma-informed guidance and practical skills to help you feel safe, seen, heard, and understood.

What Parents Are Saying:

“Tanya provided support, insight and guidance for us that has been life-changing for our whānau.  She is extremely knowledgeable about neuro divergence and the impact on whanāu with ND children.  We found Tanya able to communicate this information and share a range of useful tools in a very clear and caring manner.  Tanya supported us to better understand our daughter, adjust our parenting and move our whānau from crisis point to a much happier and healthier place.  I couldn’t recommend her more highly.” N.G.
