Positive Parenting through Separation and Divorce
Divorce is hard—especially on children, but with the right support, your family can thrive.
I’m Heather — parenting consultant, certified educator, co-parenting specialist, and mum to three young adults. I help separating parents, and the professionals who support them, find clear, practical ways to work together as co-parents, strengthen family bonds, and create security and stability for children.
๐For Parents
Separation changes your family, but it doesn’t end it. With calm, connected parenting, you can provide your children with the security, love, and guidance they need to thrive.
Through individual coaching and courses, and the six core principles of our Co-Parenting Partnership Model, you’ll learn how to:
- Build strong, secure connections with your children
- Understand and respond to their changing needs (from toddlers to teens)
- Develop a “good enough” cooperative relationship with your co-parent
- Communicate better as you set and keep healthy boundaries
- Create an environment where your children feel safe, seen, and supported๏ปฟ
๐For Professionals (Lawyers, Mediators & Practitioners)
Supporting separating families means more than resolving legal and practical issues — it means safeguarding children’s emotional well-being. I provide workshops and talks that equip professionals with:
- Research-based insights on children’s needs through divorce
- Practical tools to share with clients to reduce conflict and stress
- Strategies for guiding parents toward child-focused, cooperative co-parenting
