Being a Parenting Coach is about empowering parents to raise inspired children.

Hi, I'm Annie Desantis. As a Spiritual Life Coach and Parenting Coach, I specialize in Law of Attraction Coaching, Parent Counseling, Online Parenting Classes and Parenting Courses.

My Parenting Coach Style

My Coaching and Parent Counseling style is based on the Law of Attraction. By Spiritual Life Coach, I don't mean religious. I mean empowering you to tune in to your Spirit/Essence/God/The Universe/Higher Self - what ever you call the energy that is greater than you.

I draw on a wide range of methodologies from my extensive training and background, but the underlying principle is to empower parents to take total responsibility for creating the family life you want.

Law of Attraction Coaching

Law of Attraction Coaching puts you in the driver's seat of your life - in all areas, not just as a parent. I am not here to judge or criticize you. I will challenge and support you to becoming all that you desire. As a Spiritual Life Coach/Parenting Coach, I see myself as the vision holder for you as you explore better ways of raising your children and living a joyful life.

In my practice as a Parenting Coach, or using Law of Attraction Coaching - the emphasis is on you and where you want to go. It is often useful to have someone to mentor, challenge, or teach you when feeling stuck in old ways of behaving. Sometimes just having a loving witness is the catalyst to tapping into your own inherent wisdom.

My commitment as a Parenting Coach:

• Client focused - coaching time is your time
• Judgement free, unconditional acceptance
• Honest, truthful and transparent in communications
• Challenge you to stretch yourself beyond any self-imposed limitations
• Empower you to focus on building strong, joyful family relationships
• Offer you my skills and any processess that seem relevant to help you shift perspective
• Teach you different ways of dealing with challenges
• Hold on to your vision, even if you are doubting
• Celebrate your achievements
• Facilitate you uncovering your higher vision or your life's purpose
• Clarify your values and beliefs
• Develop a toolbox of techniques you can use when the going gets tough
• Lovingly challenge you to confront your shadow or ego driven behaviours that are not serving your higher vision of yourself
• Hold you accountable for decisions you make

Now, you will have noticed there was very little mention of Parenting Coaching! My belief as a Spiritual Life Coach using Law of Attraction Coaching, is based on the premise that your kids will flourish and grow when you flourish and grow. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to help you manage behavioural difficulties or relationship issues with your children or partner, but the bottom line is, the only person you can change is you! What you learn and explore with me will not only help you be a better parent, it will shape other areas of your life. The roles we play, parent, daughter, employee, sports player, are not who we are. You are far more than the roles you play.

Do I have all the answers? No! (Sorry if that disappoints you!) I don't believe a Parenting Coach or Counselor should have the answers for anyone else! But I will use all my skills, intuition and training to help you uncover your own answers.

What is the Process of Parenting Coaching?

I do individual sessions by telephone or by email so I can work with people from all around the world. Telephone sessions are usually 1 hour. If you have worked with me before, I sometimes do 30 minute sessions with people who are well on track and just want to check in. I also offer an email package but we do need to check in by telephone from time to time.

In the initial stages as a Parenting Coach, I email you a package of information with the expectation that you will be committed to do your preparation prior to the first call, and email it back to me. This saves you money - instead of paying for a coaching call to start the basics off, we already hit the ground running. It also gives me time to tune in and be prepared for our sessions.

You will be required to do homework in between sessions. If you want to make changes you need to be prepared to try things out and evaluate them. I know as a parent, particularly if you are a working parent, time can be very precious. You need to look on your coaching time as one of the best investments for your life and family that you can make. You would find time to take your kids to the dentist, or make a trip to the supermarket. Honouring yourself and giving yourself the space to process new ideas or get lined up with your vision of yourself has to become a high priority. If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting the same results! Taking the time to try something different will be the catalyst for many changes. We work together to develop activities or strategies that are do-able. I won't be imposing 1,000 word essays on you!

I usually suggest we start with a series of 6 sessions and re-evaluate from there. It takes time and commitment to make life changes.

What Does Parenting Coaching Cost?

The first five Parenting Coaching sessions are $95 US each, payment in advance of each session, or even better, $425 US paid in a lump sum! (You've just attracted a 10% discount!).

The Sixth session is FREE!
You are already creating more abundance into your life!

The sixth session will be spent evaluating how far you have come and setting your intention for the future.
