You are the heart of your family.
Parenting with connection takes heart.
Raising a sensitive kid with big behaviors?
Your gut tells you they—or you—need something different.
You’re finding your way.
I trust your gut.
Meet MereAnn
I'm a parent, too. I’ve been running parent groups for 8 years and love mentoring families to figure out new strategies for BIG behaviors and creating more connection with your kids.
As a preschool and elementary mama, I felt stuck. I was overwhelmed by the constancy of parenting, I struggled with feeling isolated, and I didn’t know how to show up for both my needs and my child’s. At times I was shocked by how challenging parenthood felt, and I’m a trained therapist and teacher!
I reached out for the support I desperately needed and discovered a path of conscious, compassionate parenting that helped me feel seen and heard. Sharing my struggles and finding a community of solid, honest support was a game-changer!
I learned to listen to myself, unpack my child’s off-track behavior, and get really clear about how everyone in our family could get their needs met.
I found strategies to help me stay connected to myself and access self-compassion, even in the midst of STRESS! I learned how to be fully me as a parent.
I want to help you tune into your needs and decipher what’s behind the meltdowns and mega-power struggles. I don't want you to stay stuck or build resentment while you’re running on empty!
My greatest goal is to help you follow your instincts and tap into your good thinking.

You deserve support.
Whatever stage of parenting you’re in—toddler tantrums to pre-teen defiance—
How you anchor your family has a ripple effect.
I’d love to help you find a groove and enjoy the ride!
