ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Becky. I’m a mom to three boys: two living here on earth and one guiding me from the stars. After my full term stillbirth in 2019 I dove into the science of the nervous system because I was living every second from that moment in survival mode.

I came home to an almost 2 year old living child (who at the time we had no idea had ADHD) and I had to both heal myself and take care of him.

It wasn’t long into this new existence that I needed some outside insight. I started reading parenting books, listening to podcasts, taking workshops, learning the science of the nervous system, regulation practices and more.

I had a lot of puzzle pieces but nothing seemed to fit together to create a cohesive picture. As parents, my husband and I struggled to stay consistent with any method. When emotions are that high it can be hard to not keep getting swept away in the chaos of yet another 45 min meltdown.

We’d follow the scripts, try to stay in imagination land, validate emotions…until we ourselves could no longer regulate our big feelings. Once our willpower was shot, we’d go back to yelling, bribing, punishing and being strict authoritarians. We’d go to bed feeling awful and we’d vow to do better the next day. After years of this, I realized willpower wasn’t enough to parent the way I wanted. I needed skill power!

When I found the Jai Institute for Parenting I knew I was in the right place. My parenting method is backed in attachment science, nervous system regulation, childhood development and more. I’ve gone on to receive ADHD behavior management training through Impact Parents, a coaching organization recognized by CHADD.

From not only my lived experience, trainings, extensive research in ADHD, habit formation, and emotion management, the landscape of the past no longer plagues me at night. And today, our family approaches conflict in a whole new way and I am forever grateful. I look forward to arming you with your own skill power in order for you to transform the relationships in your home.
