Parenting Alchemy
for kids strugling with mental health and addiction
ONGOING GUIDED WORKSHOPS
From Control to Connection
​
Parenting a teen who’s struggling with anxiety, disconnection, substance use, or risky behaviors can feel overwhelming and isolating. If you often find yourself afraid, exhausted, or unsure of what to do next, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
​
My workshops offer structured, facilitated support grounded in Conscious Parenting, and drawing from other tools such as the Center for Motivation and Change's Invitation to Change approach.
Each session brings clarity, steadiness, and practical tools for moving out of fear and back into connection with your teen — and yourself.

About Me.
I am a parent like you who has two teenage daughters, 19 and 15. My struggles with my older daughter have brought me into intimate contact with most of the issues that often bring families into crisis, including substance misuse, eating disorders, high-risk behavior, self-harm and depression. My journey led me to certify as a Conscious Parenting Coach, as well as to a year-long program with Dr. Gabor Maté which strengthened my understanding of what it takes to heal, and my skills in using somatic, mind, body, spirit approaches for personal transformation. I'm a dedicated student of wisdom teachings, including those of Thomas Hubl, Tara Brach to the truth about themselves and their lives in order to bring about greater consciousness.

Here are what others have said about my Conscious Parenting workshops.....
"The tools and resources provided a very helpful framework for understanding the importance of our own traumas so that we can better support and parent our kids in ways that honor who they are"
"It was so helpful and supportive to connect with other parents around conscious parenting , learn the main principles of Conscious Parenting, and hear other's stories and learn from them."
Catherine’s knowledge, experience and passion for teaching conscious parenting creates a safe place to learn and share. Her teaching is full of wisdom. Her resources and materials were helpful and worth reviewing for class and for life. I highly recommend her course.
"So much more than conscious parenting. As someone who is exceedingly self-aware and has already been working for years on resolving issues, I wasn't sure what I would get out of these sessions. So grateful I was so wrong! The sessions were not only incredibly helpful in terms of my parenting, but I can apply the tools to every challenge in my life. Having guided support from Catherine and the other participants made a huge difference. I am excited to continue to be a part of this supportive community!"
Catherine introduced Conscious Parenting in such a thoughtful, powerful way, seamlessly guiding our group discussions and activities, empowering everyone in the group to process and implement the practices right away. She created a warm, safe, open, environment with so many interesting perspectives and loads of positive energy. She also carefully curated a terrific collection of resources!
"It was an incredible resource to hear from other parents going through the very similar situations to my own. It’s such a sensitive and personal topic that very rarely would this opportunity be presented"
