Do I need a parent coach?
Every parent with children from all ages will benefit from having a parent coach. The coaching process will be focused on your journey as a parent and it is also a time where you can share openly in a judgement free space. Your children are not participating in the coaching sessions so this is also a time to reflect and focus on you. Parents who participate in the coaching process will often rediscover the joys in parenting, build a stronger bond and find more enjoyment in their time spent with the children. Osmanthus coaching aims to help parents find calm, joy and serenity in their parenting journey.

Do we need to be in the same city?
No. All coaching sessions will be done online. You have an option to choose video conferencing or voice calls. This allows you to have the freedom to choose a time that works best for you. Voice calls also frees you up to multi task (errands, chores, etc) if you choose to. Face to face sessions are possible if preferred and we are in the same city, but it is not necessary.
