Finding Ease After Years of Frustration

Allison's gift is to shine a light on where families are stuck, mired in conflict. As a parent coach, she has a calm reassuring presence that lets her clients know they aren't alone. She guides them to successfully move away from power struggles and old reactive patterns and create emotional well-being where peace and connection is the new norm.


The prerequisite for connection is emotional safety. Very few parents ever learned how to experience emotions in a healthy constructive way. Therefore, they stay in the old habits of communication they grew up with, which turn out to be toxic and threatening, full of shame, sarcasm and labels. 


Allison coaches how to break this cycle. Her straight forward approach is a guiding light to give parents a step-by-step plan and hope. She went through this journey from barely surviving to thriving in her own family, so she knows exactly what it’s like to feel discouraged and unsure, plus how to turn it around. She reminds us we’re all human, doing our best - we just never learned how to experience emotional well-being, so can’t model it.

The Sullivan Family  - a story of finding ease after years of frustration and conflict


The Sullivan family came to Allison locked in their separate corners. After years of intense power struggles and fighting, they were all sensitive and weary. No one felt at ease; each had their defenses up, fearing the next verbal attack or criticism. They felt powerless and battle-worn. The irony is that they just wanted to have fun and enjoy spending time with each other. 


Allison showed them how their stories about each other and their kids were contributing to their intense interactions. Their view of each other’s behavior and tone ended up entangling them. She coached them to see how their unintentional habit of directing emotions like anger and disapproval at each other in the forms of blame, criticism and judgment created an unsafe emotional environment. 


Most importantly, since they engaged her as a parent coach, she guided them in the skill of Life-Saving Listening. This form of non-judgmental listening created the emotional safety they all needed to rebuild trust and repair the hurt they had inadvertantly done to each other. This made a huge difference in their interactions. Instead of blaming and reacting defensively, they could truly hear each other. 


Is this something that would support your family’s intense dynamics? What’s stopping you from engaging Allison as your parenting coach to set up your first free insight or laser relief session?  


What would it feel like to create a conflict free, emotionally healthy home for you and your kids?
