Family coaching and positive family dynamics
A family is a sum of personalities, desires and goals that rarely align perfectly and simultaneously. And it is normal. Family coaching will help you understand the dynamics of your family and how to make them work together.
As a parent, you are responsible for the health, safety and well-being of your children. It is overwhelming and it can make you forget your owns. Positive family dynamics ensure that all the family members have their needs fulfilled.
Taking into account your family's history and specificities, we can work together and help you reach every parent’s goal: happy, self confident and respectful children and serene, in-control parents.
