No parent starts off knowing what to do...
Without conscious effort, our parenting methods can create conflict instead of connection. The authoritarian way most of us have been taught to parent, creates conflict and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children.
When we parent our children without working through our own history, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different.
It’s Never Too Late to Turn Things Around
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We imagine how things would be, then get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.
No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope. Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is! I am here to guide you toward more connection, cooperation, calm, and ease with your children!
Hi! I'm Erika Mathur
I became a Certified Parent Coach because I was inspired by the many different parenting journeys and struggles witnessed around me, including my own with my two children, which humbled me in profound ways. Once I realized how it is possible to build a relationship with children based on mutual trust, understanding and care, I became deeply passionate about supporting other parents in this life-changing work.
I believe we all have the capacity to learn and grow as parents. Committing to this work is the most compassionate act we can do for our children and our families. Given my professional and personal experiences, I am uniquely positioned to hold space and create optimal conditions for you to explore areas that hold you back from being the kind of parent you would like to be. I am ready to meet you exactly where you are, and I offer to walk along with you without any judgment, with utmost compassion, respect, and gentle yet skilled guidance.
My professional experiences and qualifications include years of training in education and working closely with families with children of all learning styles. These experiences allow me to be highly attuned to each family’s unique situation and needs.
I am ready to offer my expertise to support you in identifying and working toward YOUR parenting goals!
“Erika gave me the confidence and feeling of safety to learn and feel guided to identify better ways to communicate with my children, and to believe once again that I can be a great parent. Erika is an outstanding parenting coach who will go above and beyond to ensure your questions get answered.”
-Kate, mom of 2
“Erika has been an extraordinary resource and support for me. She showed incredible compassion, listened without judgment, asked clarifying questions, and offered perspective and guidance with practical tips I could try. I have children at different ages and stages, and I truly don’t know how I would have navigated this parenting journey without her insights. She’s helped me become a better parent and person, more aware of the individuality of myself, my partner, and children.”
-Jill, mom of 3
"This parenting coach is a game-changer! She boosted my core confidence, offered innovative engagement strategies specific to us, and fosters deep parent-child connections. Expect 'ah-ha!' moments and a path towards intentionally creating a bond with your children that seeks to grow stronger over time. Highly recommended for any parent seeking to enhance their parenting journey."
-Rheya, mom of 2
The traditional authoritarian model of parenting isn’t working in the long run.
Which makes you feel like you’re going to spend the rest of your life struggling with your children and continue to feel like you’re just not doing a good enough job as a parent.
I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
I understand how hard it is to ask for help as a parent. Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
Here's How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
