When Your Child is Struggling, You Feel it Too
Big Emotions, Long Days
When your child falls apart, so does your calm. You've tried everything, but nothing seems to stick.
You Care More Than Anyone
You want your child to feel understood, and to stop feeling like you’re failing at parenting while trying to hold it all together.
That's Where We Come In
At Free to Be Mindful, we help kids, teens, and moms find the tools to manage emotions, communicate better, and create calmer days… together.
Hi, I'm Vanessa!
Licensed Therapist, Mom Coach, Speaker, and Host of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast
Parenting and family life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling work, relationships, and the endless needs of your kids. As a mom of a tween and toddler, I completely understand!
With 20+ years of experience supporting thousands of children, families, and professionals, I help moms and kids stress less, connect more, and enjoy family life with greater ease and intention.
Through therapy, mom coaching, speaking, and the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, I share practical tools and mindful strategies that help families to move from overwhelm to connection, and live with more calm and joy into every day life.
It all starts with one small step... a conversation.
Let’s talk about what’s happening in your home and create a plan that brings you closer to peace and connection.
