The EMBODIED PARENT Coach™

Certified Synergetic Play Provider, Parent Coach + Family Dynamics Specialist

The EMBODIED PARENT Method™

A trauma-aware, relational approach to parenting that integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Synergetic Play Therapy, breathwork, and family dynamics. It invites parents into a deeper relationship with their own nervous systems, helping them model emotional resilience, connection, and regulation in real time.

You don’t have to be a perfect parent — you just have to stay in relationship with your own nervous system. The EMBODIED PARENT Method™ honors the natural rhythm of dysregulation and regulation, recognizing that both states are vital for resilience. It’s not about staying regulated all the time — it’s about returning to yourself with compassion and modeling that journey for your child.

Connection, not perfection — the heart of embodied parenting.

Parenting’s hard. This course makes it a little easier.

A 30-minute self-paced course for the moments when everyone’s melting down and you’re Googling “how to stay regulated”. Learn how to co-regulate (don’t worry, “being calm” is not a requirement), model emotional resilience, and show up with more confidence— and way less guilt.

The EMBODIED PARENT Method™

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

This part involves integrating your own internal work with a deeper understanding of your child’s own inner world and how their sense of self is uniquely developing at this stage of life. Cecily helps you (re)build a foundation within the parent-child relationship that cultivates leadership, connection, and patience, resulting in a more connected and balanced relationship.

What People Are Saying

  • "Working with Cecily was incredibly helpful during a tough season with our son’s emotional reactivity. She helped us develop strategies that started with understanding and regulating our own responses, rather than jumping straight to fixing his behavior. Her insights into the deeper roots of our triggers as parents were eye-opening, and her practical suggestions made everyday routines more manageable for both our kids (wobble chairs at dinner for the win!). We’re so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to any parent navigating big feelings and complex dynamics with their kids."

    -Kelly H, client

  • “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 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


  • "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
