Nurture & Nature
Parent Coaching for Brain Retrainers
As we rewire our brains, we are fostering a life of authenticity, creativity, confidence, resilience, and self compassion, all while rooting ourselves in security and love.
My goal is to help brain retrainers create family environments that will foster such a life for their children as well. My approach is to teach parents to set healthy boundaries for their children while still:
* respecting them and their age appropriate behavior
* allowing room for their authentic and creative selves
* embedding a feeling of being loved, connected, and protected
* creating a more peaceful family dynamic that balances needs of both the children and parents
________________
FREE INTRODUCTORY GROUP SESSIONS: Sessions will cover the foundation of my coaching. We will discuss how children are born wired to seek attachment, and how this drive means our parenting will influence our children's future core beliefs about different parts of themselves. I will discuss how parents can both accept their children's feelings and set firm limits on unacceptable behaviors, all while wiring our children with the knowledge that they are innately good, whole, and enough. This positive self belief is the foundation for resilient brains, and sets children up for long term success.
We will talk about how this differs from traditional parenting, which often focuses on children's immediate compliance, and how our own brain wiring may have been affected if we received this kind parenting ourselves. We will end with a discussion about how we are often "reparenting" ourselves when we do our own brain rewiring, and how doing this work enables us to show up as the self-compassionate, resilient, and mindful parents that our children need.

About Me
My name is Patty and I am a DNRS retrainer and a mother of two kids in the SF Bay Area. When I started DNRS, I had a two year old daughter. She is now six years old, and I now have a one year old baby as well. I was immersed in parenthood and DNRS congruently, finding that everything I was rewiring into myself was exactly what I wanted to wire into my children as well. I found doing so to be very intertwined between rewiring my core beliefs about myself, children, and parenthood.
In addition to practicing DNRS for the past four years, for over a decade now I have independently been rewiring my brain and studying child psychology. Examining my own childhood experiences through personal individual therapy has been particularly educational, adding immensely to my understanding of what children need in order to grow up with healthy core beliefs about themselves and their place in the world. DNRS has helped me solidify this understanding and connected me with a community that is committed to rewiring our brains with these same beliefs.
My coaching is directed towards parents in this community as I believe those committed to doing their self work are already doing the most important thing in parenthood. It is also helpful that we speak the same "language" when it comes to the brain!
