"I cannot speak highly enough about how much [Michele’s] coaching and the program has changed my parenting. This is the first parenting-help experience that I have had where the work actually focuses on the parent and our own journey of healing and awareness, which then translates to our children."

-Nicole P.

I understand how difficult it is for parents to ask for support.

It certainly was for me...

Hello!

I'm Michele McGonigle De Young

Mom to a son and daughter, and the wife of my best friend, and a Certified Parenting Coach through The Jai Institute for Parenting.

Before my children were born, I promised to raise them differently than I was raised.

However, work pressure, daily demands, exhaustion, and feelings of inferiority

drained my patience and empathy for myself and my family.

In moments of stress, I became short-tempered and angry,

leading to screaming, crying, and withdrawal.

Nights were filled with shame and grief, and I'd vow to do better the next day,

but the cycle continued.

I knew I needed help in becoming the parent I wanted to be,

but seeking support felt overwhelming and disheartening.

Determined to make a change, I found The Jai Institute for Parenting,

where my coach guided me through the Transformational Parenting Process.

This process shifted my parenting from conflict to genuine connection.

My coach helped me identify toxic patterns from my childhood that have negatively impacted my relationships as an adult, parent, and partner.

While imperfect, I’ve learned to manage my emotions and discovered that

Parenting with Mindful Intention™ fosters empathy, trust, and respect,

leading to deeper connections.

I became a parenting coach to share this transformational experience with others.

Many were raised with a 'power-over' approach, which can cause us to revert to harmful behaviors when stressed.

This often results in harsh methods that damage relationships and create ongoing challenges in parenting.

If we don’t address past traumas, we risk repeating negative patterns despite wanting change.

Many parents want to raise their children differently but need guidance and support.

Next Steps:

When you book a discovery call with me, we will discuss what is going on for you and your family so I understand where I may offer support.

I will describe my approach and the options we have for working together. You may ask any questions to determine what type of support best fits your life and schedule.

If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it is not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support wherever possible. There is no pressure; it is simply an opportunity to see if we are a good match to work together.
