1.Get Curious About Your Dynamics

This part involves a brief and super gentle overview of what values and ideals you have for your family as a result of your own childhood experiences. We’ll explore what areas in parenthood you feel the most confident in, as well as what areas you find are the most challenging for you.

2. Empower Your Innerchild

With this next part we turn inward with compassion towards the parts and areas you find the most activating and challenging within the parent-child relationship. Using various somatic tools, Cecily guides you towards building a deeper connection with your inner child, widening your window of tolerance and learning how to find moments of mindfulness amidst the challenges of parenthood.

3.Raising Secure Kids

What People Are Saying

  • "Cecily is so knowledgeable about family systems and how our past has shaped who we are and how to change unwanted behaviors in our family dynamics. I learned so much from her about healthy parenting too! I saw mothers in the audience taking an excessive amount of notes as she was speaking and I overheard them saying how much they related to her story and loved her tips. If you’re looking for a speaker to deep dive into the role family dynamics and parenting plays in one’s personality and results, I recommend Cecily!"

    - Angela Barnard, Life and Career Coach, Event Organizer & Communications Consultant


  • “Working with Cecily has helped me become a calmer, more compassionate parent. I am able to enjoy parenting more, and be annoyed less. Behaviors that used to irritate me have shifted and I look on the same behavior with much more understanding. Before I worked with Cecily I felt there was a disconnect between the parent I wanted to be and the parent I actually was. Now, through our work together, I am proud of the mom I’m becoming."

    -Laurel A, client

  • "Cecily Shares how her own childhood lit her path & passionate work in the area of personal and family dynamics. Cecily uses her experiences and training to help assist people that may be dealing with similar situations and provide insight and relevant recommendations. Cecily is an example of how the pain of one’s past can be used to propel them into a healing mindset for themselves and others."

    -Jesslyn Senecal, Breakthrough Coaching & Consulting

When we heal ourselves, we heal the future.

Offering a more compassionate world for the younger generations to witness.

I will not label, diagnose, or judge you for lived experiences, feelings, opinions, beliefs, or any behaviors you may wish to deconstruct, better understand, become more mindful of, or work towards healing from. I understand that much of how we operate, react, and communicate as adults is subconsciously influenced by our unique childhood experiences. It often takes exploring, witnessing, and validating lived experiences that are deeply rooted in our subconscious before we are able to unlearn and relearn relational skills and tools. I am empathetic and patient with each client as they embark on this unique and empowering journey. As your coach, it is my role to be a source of knowledge, encouragement, and support, while offering resources when needed; as well as holding space for you when you feel overwhelmed.

I have witnessed firsthand while implementing the IFS model into sessions with others, as well as with my own inner work how when we compassionately witness and hold space for our inner-child’s unique experiences, we move towards healing and growth; gaining the ability to hold onto an internal sense of clarity, connection and calm even when in  the face of external chaos. Essentially building a foundation of emotional safety from within, allowing us to connect more effortlessly to those we care about the most.
