Parent Coaching is for you - and your family
Parenthood can rip us apart in ways we never expected - showing us that old hurts that we thought were under control were actually just waiting to explode out.

And your kids’ behavior can seem confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming.

Does parenting have to be this hard?

Does life have to be this hard?

Parent coaching brings an outside perspective to help you understand and address your children's difficult behavior, without rewards, punishments, or yelling.

You'll also find effective strategies to meet your needs - because you're a whole person, not just a parent.

What is parent coaching?
 

A child and an adult are crouched down examining something on the red desert ground. A child and an adult are crouched down examining something on the red desert ground.
Most importantly, parent coaching is not therapy.  We aren't going to treat or diagnose any specific illness.

In a coaching relationship, you are a creative, resourceful, whole individual.

There is nothing 'wrong' with you - or with your child.


We'll listen to you perhaps more deeply than you've ever been listened to before, so we can understand the root causes of the challenges you're facing.

Together we'll identify effective strategies that fit with your values and your life.

"Jen's coaching is life-changing.  Her work has positively impacted my parenting in ways that I had never thought possible.

She has enabled me to get close to parenting in ways that align with my values, and given me incredible insights into my children's (and my own) behaviors, feelings, and needs.  I highly recommend working with her!"

Is parent coaching right for you?
 

Your Parenting Mojo offers lots of ways to make the shifts you want to see in your parenting.

We have self-paced parenting classes online like the Setting Loving (& Effective!) Limits workshop and Right From The Start (for expecting parents and those with babies under 1).

The Parenting Membership helps parents who are struggling with their children’s behavior, while my signature Taming Your Triggers workshop helps you to understand why you feel triggered and feel triggered less often.  These options open periodically, because there’s a lot of value in processing new learning with others.

But sometimes private parent coaching is a better fit, especially when:
        
An issue is urgent, and you can’t wait for the next cohort-based offering to open
      
        
You learn best through conversation about your specific situation  
      
        
You’re highly motivated to learn new tools, put them into practice, and fine-tune them within a short period of time  
      
        
You or your co-parent aren’t willing to share your struggles in a community
      
        
You want a focused, personalized plan with direct accountability to help you stay on track

“Working with Denise helped me understand time with my kids differently. I still remember when she told me: "The amount of time you spend with your kids doesn't determine if you're a good parent" which I kind of knew, but also didn't before she spelled it out for me.

Denise helped me understand what things are non-negotiable for me to feel good each day (my own self care needs) and have enough of myself to give to my children. She also helped me figure out how to really connect with them, during the time I do have. As a mother of four children, this has been so helpful!”

 Jen Lumanlan founded Your Parenting Mojo in 2016.  She holds a Master’s in Psychology (focused on Child Development) and another in Education.  She’s a Co-Active Coach, and has been trained in Levels 1 and 2 (of 3) of The Gottman Method of working with couples.

Sessions with Jen are attuned to your emotional needs - whether you’re looking for nurturing  validation, just the practical strategies or something in between - you’ll leave feeling ‘held,’ empowered, and confident of your next steps to take.

Jen particularly enjoys supporting individual parents and couples who believe that they have ‘already tried everything’ to address their children’s behavior challenges.

When working with couples, she uses an adjusted version of the Gottman Method tools which overcomes two critical flaws in the method.  Parents who have experienced Gottman Method therapy and have observed Jen’s coaching have said in amazement: “That wasn’t the Gottman Method I did with my partner that didn't work for us!”

Jen has worked with:
  • Individual parents (both single parents and those who are partnered but attend the sessions alone)

  • Couples who are focused on their children’s behavior

  • Couples who are separating/divorcing and want to improve their communication about the children

  • Couples who want to focus on their own relationship, because this is impacting their relationship with their children 
Jen’s rate is $900 for a package of three 50-minute sessions, which works best for 1:1 coaching or a couple discussing challenges with one child.  
For couples wanting to work on communication between yourselves, please book a package of three 80-minute sessions for $1,440.

We came to coaching with Jen feeling beaten down and exhausted because we'd tried a lot of different strategies to help one of our daughters with behavioral and anxiety issues.

The sessions were so valuable...we've done bits of therapy here and there, and Jen is so much more results-oriented.  We had run out of tools, and now we have new tools to work with.  We feel more positive, because we know what ideas we're going to try next.

How parent coaching works

 We don’t book individual sessions because the habits and practices you want to change have taken years to develop, so they can’t be fully addressed in a single session.  We will make substantial progress over the course of three sessions.  While some clients benefit from longer-term parent coaching, most find that three sessions meets their needs for clarity and confidence on their new path.

We’re aware that the cost may be an investment for you.  You aren’t just paying for the time you’re with your coach: you’re paying for the training, expertise, and experience that allows us to help you to make significant progress in a short period of time.

You’re also paying for the time it takes to review your intake information, do any advance research and planning necessary, and summarize your outcomes after the sessions.

“Our sessions with Denise helped us to come to a mutual understanding of the foundation from which we choose to raise our family.  We got clear on our family goals and our family values, which helps navigate the difficult moments that having two kids under two can bring up.

I notice myself daily come back to our family values and this helps me stay grounded and communicate clearly with the kids. I have also found the process improved our relationship as Denise was so good at holding space for us to have conversations we wouldn’t normally have as a couple.”
