My story

Hi, I’m Maggie, and first and foremost, I’m a mom. My journey into parent coaching and child psychology began with the most transformative experience of my life—becoming a mother. Like many parents, I quickly realized that raising a child comes with endless joys, challenges, and moments of self-discovery.

As I navigated the ups and downs of parenthood, I became deeply passionate about understanding the emotional and psychological development of children. This passion led me to pursue formal education in child psychology and certification as a parent coach. My mission is to share what I’ve learned and support other parents in their journey.

At Bonding Nest, I combine my professional expertise with the real-world experience of being a parent. I know firsthand the importance of creating a loving and supportive environment where children can thrive, and I’m here to help you do just that. Whether you’re dealing with everyday parenting dilemmas or looking to build stronger connections with your child, I’m committed to providing you with compassionate, evidence-based guidance.

Let’s embark on this journey together, nurturing your child’s growth and strengthening your family bonds along the way. And here’s a little twist, I also write healing stories for children that have a little something for the parents. QR codes that help you take a gentle dive into empowered parenting. Because well, stories and playing will always be our children’s language.

My approach

My approach is rooted in child psychology, neuroscience and brain development, offering you evidence-based guidance tailored to your family’s unique needs. Whether you’re seeking support in managing behavioral challenges, enhancing communication, or fostering emotional intelligence, we’re here to empower you with practical strategies that work.

Let’s create a nurturing environment where your family can thrive—together.

Combining the wisdom of neurology, brain science, and common sense that’s what empowered parenting is all about, and we will take a deep dive into the inner workings of a child’s developing brain.

We recognize that behind their innocent eyes and sweet smiles, our little ones have a deep need for love and understanding. By embracing the insights from neurology, we can respond to our children with empathy and compassion.

It’s a journey of discovery, where we aim to foster resilience and kindness in our kids. Respectful parenting is a beautiful balance of science and love, creating a strong bond that will endure for years to come.

The Jai Program approach

The Jai method will guide you through a 12 step program, that includes weekly 45 minute calls and lifetime access  with enlightening videos and templates to the Jai platform.

 

Does my family need this?

In embracing the principles of respectful parenting, families embark on a transformative journey that yields countless benefits. By integrating the knowledge of neurology, brain science, and common sense, we create an environment where love and understanding flourish. As parents, we become attuned to our children’s needs, guiding them with empathy and compassion.

This approach fosters deep connections within the family, nurturing a sense of trust and emotional security. By recognizing the importance of a child’s developing brain, we can tailor our responses and provide them with the support they require to thrive. This harmonious blend of science and love lays the foundation for open communication, cooperation, and mutual respect.

It cultivates an atmosphere where conflicts are resolved with understanding rather than punishment, fostering healthy relationships and emotional well-being. Respectful parenting not only benefits our children but also enriches our own lives, allowing us to grow as compassionate and mindful individuals.

It is a journey that transforms families, creating a sanctuary of love and harmony where everyone can flourish.
