Transform how you relate to emotions and stress

Balance boundaries and compassion

Testimonial

It is overwhelming with so many opinions and strategies [about] how to be the best parent. I am so very grateful for Karleen and Kathy's guidance. They hone in on a different teaching each month and we get to discuss with other parents how to integrate them into our lives.  

The members of the group share what's working and what's challenging them on their parenting journey.  I find it helpful that our children are a range of ages so I can understand exactly what they are going through as well as see forward of what's to come. 

Truly life changing insights are gained from Karleen and Kathy's topics, teachings and the sharing of their experiences! They also share home practices for us to play with throughout the month and valuable resources. 

I do not feel so alone on this mindfulness parenting journey because of the depth of Kathy and Karleen's caring and nourishing [Parenting as Practice] group!
