"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 (12) and daughter (10), wife to my best friend, and a Parenting, Family, and Relationship Coach.
Before my children arrived, I vowed to raise them differently than I was raised. Yet, as work pressures and daily demands piled up, I found myself overwhelmed and often short-tempered, leading to cycles of shame and regret.
Determined to change, I turned to The Jai Institute, where my coach guided me through the Transformational Parenting Process. This experience shifted my focus from conflict to genuine connection, helping me identify and break harmful patterns from my childhood.
Now, I approach parenting with Mindful Intention™, fostering empathy, trust, and deeper relationships with my children. Inspired by my journey, I became a parenting coach to share this transformation with others.
Let’s embark on this parenting journey together!
Many were raised with a 'power-over' approach,
which can lead to harmful behaviors during times of stress.
This often results in methods that damage relationships
and present ongoing challenges in parenting.
By addressing past traumas, we open the door to breaking negative patterns
and fostering meaningful change.
Many parents aspire to raise their children differently,
and with guidance and support, they can achieve that vision.
Next Steps:
When you book a connection 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.
