PARENTING SUPPORT
A proven roadmap in raising respectful, resilient humans who thrive - inside and out - without punishments, threats & fear-based parenting.
Create the Peaceful, Playful Home you’re longing for.
Yell Less. Connect More. Calm the chaos in the home.
Michelle Gracey, Certified Parenting Coach + Educator
Parent coaching is about so much more than just managing behaviour. It’s about deeply understanding your child, yourself, and what’s happening beneath the surface causing their behaviour and your reactions. Together, we’ll build practical tools to help you confidently navigate big behaviours, reduce power struggles, deepen your connection, and create a calmer home where both you and your child can thrive - inside and out.
Imagine your home feeling like this.
Fewer Meltdowns
Feel confident knowing what to do in the hard moments so you no longer feel on edge, bracing for the next big meltdown.
Less Yelling, More Cooperation
Loving boundaries that work, without yelling, punishing or threatening.
Deep Connection
A close relationship where your child feels seen & safe coming to you for the hard things
You love your child fiercely - and - You are also exhausted of the daily tantrums, power-struggles and not being able to show up how you want to in the hard moments. You feel like you’ve tried everything and not sure how else to get through.
How you respond today - shapes who they become inside
Fear & control-based parenting can give you the behaviour you want. But it comes at a real cost, and it’s important to know what that cost is.
Fear & Control-Based Parenting
Wires the nervous system for fear, anxiety and hyper-vigilance
Shapes an internal belief system and self-esteem built on “I’m not enough”
Keeps the brain stuck in the lower survival parts more often
Stunts development in the rest of the brain—like the prefrontal cortex, where executive functioning lives
Can create anxious, avoidant or disorganized attachment: the lens they see themselves, others and you through
They learn to hide from you instead of coming to you—when it matters most
Respectful & Connected Parenting
Teaches emotional intelligence, emotional regulation and communication
Wires the nervous system for a sense of internal safety
Wires the internal belief system for self-trust, resilience and expansive beliefs
Builds frustration tolerance and capacity
Optimizes brain development, skill-building and executive functioning
Creates secure attachment, built on trust, understanding and authenticity
This isn’t to shame or blame. This was the parenting literature most of us were raised with for compliant behaviour but the research is now clear the impact this has and change is absolutely possible and every bit worth it.
What parents say.
“For the first time, I feel empowered to hold my boundaries with love and confidence”
“Before working with Michelle, I struggled to hold firm rules with my daughter, even when I knew they were necessary.~making it hard for me to confidently say no to my daughter.
Michelle helped me uncover the deeper reasons behind this struggle, guiding me to see what was blocking me from standing in my values.
Through her support, I gained clarity on what truly matters to me as a parent and, for the first time, I feel empowered to hold my boundaries with love and confidence. If you’ve ever questioned why any aspect of parenting feels so hard, I highly recommend going through this program!”
~Chloee Teng
“I walked away feeling more confident, and equipped with tools I can actually use every day.”
I truly cannot say enough good things about working with Michelle. The information was practical, relatable, and applicable to real parenting situations.
I walked away feeling more confident, and equipped with tools I can actually use every day. I love how the course was broken down with certain topics at a time.
Michelle created a space that felt safe and welcoming! Michelle also was able to help break down the content and was so supportive through the whole process!
So much positive has come from this course and my little one can even verbalize her feelings now, such a big win!
~Confidential, Mother to two girls under 4
“Her deep understanding of children’s emotional needs, regulation, and development—combined with her ability to help us better understand ourselves as parents—made an extraordinary impact on our family.”
Michelle’s attunement to our family’s unique situation and what we were navigating with our son was truly beyond helpful. Her deep understanding of children’s emotional needs, regulation, and development—combined with her ability to help us better understand ourselves as parents—made an extraordinary impact on our family.
Michelle didn’t just offer parenting advice; she provided thoughtful, grounded coaching that helped us more deeply support our son while also shifting how we showed up as parents. Her guidance gave us tools, awareness, and a level of clarity that created meaningful change in our home.
Her care, insight, and ability to support both our child and us through the process made this one of the most valuable and impactful parenting coaching experiences we’ve ever had. We are incredibly grateful for Michelle and highly recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, intuitive, and truly transformative support.
~Natalie Dick
“Within one session bedtime went from 2-3 hours nearly every night to less than an hour!
Michelle helped me understand what was happening for my children (and myself) at bedtime and gave me a few ideas on how to approach it differently, I was amazed at how fast it actually worked!
Not every night is that easy but when I can actually slow down, be present and help my child when they are getting out of hand, it really does work! Thank you Michelle!”
~Catherine, mom to 3 kids under 8
“While working with Michelle, I learned so much about neuroscience, brain development, co-regulation, and dealt with a lot of repressed emotion.
When I agreed to join the Parent Transformation program, I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it was 100% exactly what I needed. Finally understanding these feelings I had suppressed for so many years; feelings and situations I had experienced as a child. I had no idea the impact they were having on me as a mother today.
The triggers, the anger, the shame and the guilt all were brought forward and discussed which has begun to help lead me into being a more regulated, patient, understanding, and supportive mother. I had to deal with all that was going on in my body before I could truly understand how to support my child in doing the same.
I truly believe that after years and years of generational trauma, I will break cycles and change the course of my life, my daughter’s lives, for many years to come.”
~Parent + Teacher
“Before I met Michelle, I was feeling like such a run-down, unsupportive mom. I was constantly reactive to my toddler’s behaviour in a way that didn’t sit right with me and with a new baby in the house, I knew things had to shift for their sake and mine. I was frustrated that no matter how many times I would wake up in the morning and say to myself, ‘I’m not going to yell today’, by 8am, I already had.
Fortunately I had the opportunity to meet Michelle and working with her had been weighing on me for a few months. I finally decided that I needed things to change and reached out.”
~Mother, 2 kids under 4
“This morning I arrived to the session buried in an avalanche of guilt, shame, and self-blame. Michelle held space for me with such grounded compassion and clarity.”
She didn’t just listen, she helped me see what was truly happening beneath my child’s behavior: unmet needs, both hers and mine.
During the session, Michelle has also offered me two supportive tools that brought immediate relief. By the end of the session, the dread in my chest had softened into calm and clarity. When I picked up my daughter, I used the tools Michelle gave me and felt an instant shift: more connection, less resistance.
Michelle’s coaching is transformational. She helps you see beyond the behavior and reconnect with your child from a place of attunement, not tension. Her work is the support every parent deserves.
~Confidential, Mother to Highly-Sensitive 7 year old
“I was hesitant at first if this would work but I was shocked how quickly it de-escalated my son mid tantrum.
What would normally be a 30-45 minutes outburst was over in 2-3 minutes.
10 out of 10 would highly recommend working with Michelle when parenting feels hard. She will help you understand what’s happening for your child and yourself too and guide you with how to shift things in a realistic way that works for your family.”
~Andrew, dad to 2 kids under 6
“My family has recently gone through some major changes that has had a big impact on everyone.
After meeting with Michelle, last night was the first night in over a month that my son was mostly in a good mood and not crying for hours in intense hysterics.
I felt completely helpless not knowing how to help him. I know we still have a long way to go but I feel more hopeful seeing some progress already and knowing a few things that can help him settle when we’re having a hard night.”
~Rob, father to 4 year old son
“Times where I once felt incapable of reacting now seem a little more manageable. I’m more able to take a step back and get curious about my child’s behaviour and try to make sense of it so I can support her.
In those hard moments, I’ve been able to think about how I would have felt as a child in her position and support her in a loving, nurturing way, and from a place of understanding.
My child has started to identify how she is feeling in situations. She recognizes ways she can help her body feel more calm and how to receive support even when things feel overwhelming for her.
She consistently shares her frustrations and hurts and stands up for herself without worry of feeling rejection, and she knows that her mommy will always be there for her, by her side.
Our connection has gotten so much stronger. There are things I once dreaded doing with her that I look forward to now. I finally feel the joy that motherhood brings!”
~Mother, 2 girls under 4
