Welcome
Hello mama!
Are you tired of being stuck in chronic survival mode? Do you feel like you have lost yourself somewhere along the way? Are you trying so hard to do all the things right but still feeling like you are doing them all wrong? As you may have discovered, there is an infinite amount of parenting advice out there, and some of it can leave us feeling guilty and ashamed, – whoops there goes another year of therapy, am I right?! You deserve a motherhood that is simpler, slower, and more soulful. The kind of motherhood that weaves joy into the fabric of your days.
Luckily, you don’t have to spend years diving deep into all things parenting, or learning things by trial and error. I have done that for you!
I’m Sara!
Wife, mama of three, and slow parenting enthusiast! Before becoming a stay at home mama, I pursued my masters in Child Advocacy and Policy while I worked full time at a Child Advocacy Center.
I have always loved children and found immense joy in helping families recover from trauma, helping them heal, become more resilient, and strengthen family bonds.
That was why it was SO hard for me to navigate my own motherhood and parenting with my middle child. I was at a complete loss, it seemed like everything I knew was being put to a test, and it was. Little did I know then, but he was here to teach me the biggest lessons.
The past six years, I have immersed myself in all things parenting (conscious, gentle. intentional, peaceful, simplicity) and while I have taken all the things that worked for me, I have also left behind those that don’t. I don’t like to fit myself into a box, and my guess is that neither do you.
Instead, I call my method Osmosis Parenting – or quite simply- be the human that you want your child to be. Why? because our kids don’t always seem to be listening but they are always watching. Our littles are unconsciously assimilating from those around them how to show up in the world. Let’s make sure that what they are learning is what we want, it begins with us.

Where this all began
Let me tell you a little story here
My middle son Lukas was almost 3. We had just left the developmental pediatrician’s office, whom we had gone to visit for a second opinion. As I had suspected, his ADHD and high functioning autism was confirmed. I felt validated and heartbroken at all once. We now had some “answers” as to the why for his behaviors but I still sat there thinking “how am I going to parent this child”?
I had been stuck in survival mode, feeling completely isolated and burnt out. Parenting him was exasperating. I felt guilty and ashamed, often neglecting my oldest daughter as Lukas needed ALL of me. Things got even harder with the birth of my third son, Jaxson.
My relationship with my husband was also suffering, and our entire family dynamic was in complete upheaval. I knew deep in my core that there had to be a better way. I decided that I was going to take charge of my motherhood, even if it meant doing hard things. I knew that only I had the power to build the family culture I wanted.
One night, after a long and tiring day, I sat there thinking about how I still hadn’t found a magical parenting solution, even after consuming parenting book after parenting book.
That’s when I realized something that transformed my life. Sometimes the only way forward is to go back. Back to what? To the beginning. I realized that in order to show up for my kids I had to show up for myself. I had to reclaim my motherhood. What unfolded next has transformed my life and I know that it can transform yours too!
