1-1 Parent Coaching

Create immediate shifts in the specific areas of parenting that matter most to you right now.

My individual parent coaching will give you the support you need, to grow closer to your children (and yourself) through the hard times.

“I recommend working with Gabriela as a coach if you struggle with feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities of being a mother/father because she will give you the tools to delve into the core issues, and she has the patience and listening skills to provide advice to complicated parenting dilemmas. My husband and I have benefited greatly and we are tremendously grateful!”

- Cinthya, Registered Nurse and Mother

I also guide folks (with or without kids) who are reparenting themselves.

“As an abuelita, I feel the skills I am learning are helping me reparent myself and cultivate true generational healing for my family.”

I didn’t realize I could go deeper in my healing until I met Gabriela. I have a counseling degree. I also experienced a childhood filled with trauma and chaos. I was really good at emoting. This soft spoken human taught me to truly feel. Her quiet questions and focused attention created bursts of insight. Awareness, worth, and boundaries organically emerged as she made space for all my parts to be honored and heard within a framework of individual toward collective liberation.”

Hi! I’m Gabriela, founder of Healing Parents

I love supporting parents as you show up for your families with greater confidence that calms, care that empowers, and love that is truly felt.

My Healing Parents Approach combines Hand-in-Hand Parenting principles, Internal Family Systems and other compassion-based healing modalities.

I help parents like you to embody your truest capacity for caregiving through all of life’s ups and downs.

Why I love 1-1 Coaching:

  • "Gabriela honors everyone's experiences & she offers a perspective on parenting that is deeply inclusive of not only our child's needs, but ours. Gabriela brings a more tailored, nuanced understanding of equally evidence-based practices and mindsets that offer so much more compassion and space for my child and I without asking us to be anyone else than exactly who we are."

    Mother & Coaching Client

  • "I have tried many therapists/coaches in the past some years. They all felt like the wrong fit for one reason or another. Sometimes it felt like it was too technical, sometimes it felt miss attuned, sometimes it felt like there was no progress being made. Gabriela’s approach, her ability to reflect on information I share, and her ability to connect in a meaningful and genuine way has helped me make several breakthroughs in my life. It reflects in relational breakthroughs with people in my life and breakthroughs in my understanding of myself and how I operate in the world. I look forward and feel excited about the possibilities that will open for me through future sessions."

    Daniel, Father & Coaching Client

  • "The tools Gaby has given me have given me the courage to turn inward and observe, accept and honor the parts of me that I used to feel shame around. My favorite part about working with Gabriela is that I love myself more after every session."

    Candice, Mother

  • "Embracing my own humanity as essential to seeing, nurturing and embracing my children’s humanity is etched in my heart. It has also impacted my work in supporting the families I work with (at two elementary schools), in a big big way."

    Client & 2021 Course Participant

  • "I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much I appreciate you and all the effort you put into helping other families on this journey. It means a lot to people like me who don't really have anyone in our family/friend circles that parent in this way. Your support and advice has truly helped our family and has changed our lives for the better."
