Hey, Mama. I'm Tina ...
& I am here to support you along your parenting journey.
Parenting is one of the most challenging things you will ever do. When you first became a parent, you likely had an idea of the type of parent you wanted to be. And maybe during the first year or so, it was easy to be that parent.
But then somewhere along the way, parenting became more of a taxing job than a nurturing relationship. You’re overwhelmed and exhausted, and at the end of the day, maybe you feel like you’re turning into your mom - you’re parenting in all the ways you swore you never would: you yell. You bribe. You’re controlling.
You wanted so much more for your relationship with your child, but you just can't seem to figure it out.
I spent nearly two decades as a middle school educator where I got to see how parenting techniques played out in the lives of teens nearly every day. I saw how our expectations and demands on our kids play out in real time. Over the years, I realized that our role as a parent is not to tell our children who they are, but to sit back and allow them to show us who they are.
I started The Healing Parent to help moms like you: mamas who want something different for their parenting and lives, but continue to find themselves repeating the patterns of their own childhoods. Mamas who know they can do better, but just can't seem to figure it out.
Motherhood is exhausting and demanding and when you are so overtaken with your emotions and out of control with fear, anxiety, worry, anger, or rage, you are disconnected from a relationship that can bring you the most joy and unconditional love.

Motherhood is not only a chance to raise little humans, it is a chance to uncover your deepest wounds and heal so you can become the most authentic version of you - and genuinely love parenting.
