  • My husband and I really wanted a baby. It was very difficult for this to happen for us so we relied on the support of fertility treatments. First round, and bam! We were pregnant. We were SO excited. We took every class, read every book, watched every app. I was ready for nursing, car seat safety, and how to put on every baby carrier on the market. We were ready to feel tired. We weren’t prepared to teach sleep skills because that wasn’t offered by anyone, anywhere. All we heard was “get ready to never sleep again” and we were ready for that! Being tired isn’t a big deal. We got this…

    I felt awful. I felt sick. I felt guilty and ashamed and my anxiety was out of hand. I even needed to go back on anti- anxiety medication. I couldn’t live like this. My son Navy turned 4 months and we started sleep training. The decision to do so completely changed my life. I didn’t dread my time with my son and I was able to get back to spending time with my husband. My mental and physical health improved drastically.

    Prior to taking the plunge into the wonderful world of sleep training, I spent about 15 years in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I oversaw many cases of children with Autism and other behavioral needs, while offering support and parent training. As a team, we focused on the teaching of positive behavior and decreasing the need for children to engage in maladaptive behaviors. This behavior modification was data driven and implemented with the full support of the team. With my extensive experience in the field of ABA, sleep training spoke to my heart! I not only loved being able to see the progress through daily data collection, but I felt as though it was a team effort to teach my son one of the most important life skills. My goal is to ensure every family feels as though they have a team behind them from start to finish.

  • Claire is a PCI Certified® Parent Coach and Positive Parenting Educator, helping moms struggling with frustration, anger, and yelling become calmer and confident and creating more connected families for almost ten years. She’s also a stepmom/mom of 4 young adult children and lives in Santa Barbara with her husband and fur baby, Bella.

    Early on in her journey as a mother of four, Claire found herself experiencing frequent conflict, overwhelm, and anger. However, through years of personal work, Claire changed the parenting patterns that were not serving her or her family and became the calm, confident mama she knew she could be. Her kids needed her to be, creating the strong, close-knit, deeply connected family she has today.

    This journey is what brought her to parent coaching today. What took her years to accomplish, she now shows other families how to do it in a much shorter period of time using her C.A.R.E.S. Approach and proven Positive Discipline Tools and Techniques.

    C.A.R.E.S. is an approach that incorporates positive parenting, mindfulness, and awareness. Claire used all of these in her own journey, which allowed her to move from being stuck in chaos, conflict, and power struggles to being IN a relationship with her kiddos and seeking resolutions with them from a place of connection instead.

    Parenting is hard, but it doesn't have to be miserable. To yell-LESS is more about skills than it is about will.
