The first three months will be all about you, parents:

You will assess your wellness as you are now, your hurts and resilience from early childhood, and your past experiences that make you, well, you.  This will include assessing your regulation skills, attachment and parenting styles, and adding to your personal adulting toolbox. Goals?  There will be goals that you can customize for your best life on your personal greatness path. Together, we will connect in our parenting community; grow, heal, share, and transform old or undesirable narratives into the ones you choose for unfolding into your present-day family life. 

After three months, you will be exploring and learning about the intricacies of your child(ren):

What happened in your child's early years?  What experiences do you know or suspect? You will assess physical, emotional, and spiritual strengths and evaluate areas of delay, lagging skills, and unmet needs across all domains.  This is the time for a deep-dive investigation into the real mind, body, soul of your children from difficult beginnings. This Love Matters  Community is full of wise parents and caregivers who have gathered some incredible real life experiences at home, school, church, and in the community along their parenting path, so you will want to ask a lot of questions and seek advice and support at every turn, as you pull back the curtain and take a closer look at your hurting and sensitive child.

After six months, you will seriously get down to cracking the Therapeutic Parenting code for Greatness (notice how I keep saying that?):

You will have weekly therapeutic parenting information to digest, as you practice daily becoming a true, coached, and skilled therapeutic parent.  These are life changing habits that will transform the trajectory of your family from surviving, exploring, learning...to thriving. Yes, you can. Yes, you will. You will be Parenting with Greatness before you know it.

Finally, you will hone all that you have been working toward and walk along the path to your THRIVING Love Matters Family Life:

You will be mastering regulation and pumping up the volume on joyful living, closeness, dynamic friendships, and peaceful, playful, healthful living. Play. Love. Laugh. Rest. Delight. Desire. Thrive.  You will arrive at Therapeutic Parenting Greatness by the end of this incredible journey.  

The second year--Love Matters and Beyond--will knock your livin' lovin' socks off.  Stay tuned.

The Love Matters Parenting Society is a large part of my therapeutic work and I see all of you in the same way as I do those who enter the doors of my office.  I’m in the Society every day posting and supporting along with everyone else in the private community. 

You can ask questions in the whole group, submit questions or come to the weekly Facebook Lives and ask directly.

Additionally, there are monthly office hours for coaching. 

I’m committed to your success.  If you have done the activities in the weekly Resource Guides, participated in the Q & A's, engaged in coaching, and you still struggle to make progress, I’ll be in touch with you to help unstick you and move you forward.  Just keep swimming.

I experiment with offering hardship discounts often in my office and the one thing that I have learned is that most people who pay a deeply discounted rate rarely participate fully, cancel often, no show often, and don't get the true benefit that the work offers.  We all probably need some skin in the game to see the value that doing this kind of parenting can bring.

That said, I would never want the membership to be truly inaccessible to someone who feels it will benefit them and they simply can't make it happen.  If joining would strongly benefit you but the price would starve your family, then please email me at [email protected] to share your situation and I’ll do what I can. This is much to my office manager's consternation, but I am who I am.

Shame free zone. This Society is all about loving each other, our children, ourselves, and our lives. This is a safe, judgement-free space--I promise.  Some members will be happy with how things are at home and are looking to refine their tools, while others are in a hot mess and need a whole new approach.  Either way, you’ll find support, wisdom, advice (if you ask for it), a virtual hand to hold and a shoulder to lean on.  Love matters here in all that we do.

Parents and caregivers of children from difficult beginnings of attachment trauma, abuse, neglect, or adverse circumstances. Raising traumatized children is a journey and at times parents may find themselves at different stages, anywhere from surviving in their daily lives to thriving in their lives full throttle. You might be drowning and reaching for help for the first time or you might be further along on your therapeutic parenting road. You could be down right skillful at the therapeutic part, while feeling lonely and looking for a path to living your best life with a healing child. Everyone here is learning, loving, giving, growing, healing, sharing, vulnerable, and moving forward toward thriving in their best curated life. No matter the stage at which you enter, you are welcome here to become the resilient, resourceful, responsive parent you always wanted to be and the joyful person you know you are.

This is your path to therapeutic parenting greatness. 

If you purchase a month-to-month membership, you get one extra bonus membership for one other person of your choice. Yay!

No! Because this membership is laser-focused on your personal growth, exploration, and implementation, there will be no reading, only listening material.  Everything is optional.

I might refer you to a resource now and again.  However, the majority of our time in the group will be spent thinking through how you engage with your child, how you want to engage with your child, writing your thoughts and ideas in the materials, spending time on a monthly coaching call, watching optional Q & A sessions, and actually implementing the strategies we discuss. 

This membership is designed to move you forward, but not to overwhelm you. Go at your own pace.  Just keep moving forward.

I 100% believe you are going to love this membership.

If you don't for some reason, any reason, in the first month that you join, there is a money-back guarantee.
Easy Peasy.

The membership is risk-free, and you can cancel at any time.  Once you cancel, you won’t owe another monthly payment, your access to downloads and resources will be closed at the end of the month, and you will be removed from the group at the end of the current month. 

Your annual membership payment is 100% refundable within the first month. After that time, there will be no refunds, your access to downloads and resources will be closed at the end of the month, and sadly you will be removed from the group.
