Soon into my marriage (with my husband of twelve years), I became a Mother to my creative and caring son and daughter (eight-year-old twins) and a few years later to my sweet and fearless four-year-old daughter. As a new Mom, I didn’t always feel like I knew what I was doing, and soon enough, I started realizing how my own triggers and expectations were getting in the way of my authentic connection with my children.  I was shocked to learn how my own childhood challenged my present life as a mother of three. Through conscious parenting, I learned to have compassion for my own experience, my upbringing, my children, and their experiences, and soon enough, I realized how my children were my very own loving gurus in life.
