Experience more ease as you navigate the complexities of raising children in today’s world
Parent with more confidence without resorting to yelling, threatening, bribing or punishments
With so many families hurting in our world today, our children need us to be the best versions of ourselves as parents, more than ever. Without intending to, our parenting methods often result in conflict, frustration, and power struggles instead of the harmony, ease, and connection we crave.
When we learn how to be the parents our children need us to be, our families thrive. We feel more peace, love and connection with ourselves and our children. It’s never too late to be the parent you want to be.
I have been supporting parents and helping them navigate the complexities of raising children for over 20 years. In my former positions as a School Psychologist and the Director of a Family Support Center, I observed first-hand the impact that parent-child relationships have on the success and well-being of children. When parents are empowered with the knowledge and tools of peaceful parenting, they experience fewer power struggles, more ease and harmony, and stronger connections with their children.
I became a certified parent coach to share what I have learned with other parents and to support them in this life-changing work.
“Julie walked us through the 12-week parent course with kindness, understanding and NO JUDGMENT. Her insight, personal experiences, and years of practicing empowered, peaceful parenting helped us improve our connection with our kids. Long story short, Julie has helped us become better parents.”

“Julie’s coaching is incredibly refreshing. She is kind and compassionate and her flexibility with scheduling lowered our anxiety as busy parents of 3 children. As a parent herself, she was able to make relevant connections to help us better understand the curriculum. Our time with this program improved our relationship with our children and strengthened our marriage. Communication and self-reflection are hallmarks for this program that make it different from anything else we have tried. It all starts with the parents, and we are so very grateful for Julie’s leadership. ”

I believe the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be, so we end up slipping into the patterns that were modeled for us in our own childhoods.
I started Hearts and Pines Parent Coaching to show parents another way; a way that gives you the tools and information you need in order to parent with more calm, clarity, and confidence resulting in less struggle and deeper connections with your children.
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. My approach is based on establishing a supportive, collaborative relationship where we work together to create an intentional parenting plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Start experiencing more ease, calm,
and connectedness in your family!
