Lorena Seidel
PARENT COACH
About Lorena
I’m a Mindset and Emotional Intelligence Coach, a certified Montessori teacher, a trained Positive Discipline Parent Educator, a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction {MBSR} teacher, and a mother of three.
I walk families through a Joyful Family Framework that helps create the invincible mindset, unshakable sense of self, and unbreakable sense of connection needed to create everyday harmony and joy at home.
I dream of a world in which all children grow up in emotionally healthy homes and I'm committed to helping parents raise a generation of amazingly emotionally fit human beings who can finally heal humanity.
CORE VALUES
Harmony, Connection, Joy, Love, & Forgiveness
What is it like to work with me?
In each session I’ll walk you through a Joyful Family Framework: A 4-step process combining mindset exercises, positive discipline strategies, progressive methods of education, and emotional intelligence to break cycles of negative parent-child interactions and replace it with a positive and healthy family dynamic.
Our sessions will be a mix of parenting coaching, hands-on practicing and tweaking of new strategies, troubleshooting everyday challenges you (and/or your children) are experiencing, and accountability and implementation with a practical and actionable “game-plan”. From rewiring your parenting mindset, repairing parent-child relationships, to developing social-emotional skills for your whole family. These 90-minute sessions will be packed with everything you need to become the parent you always wanted to be or wish you had.
Why this work?
Despite vowing to be a good and calm mom, I was easily triggered by my child's behavior. I was losing my cool and falling off the "intentional parent" wagon again and again. I worried I would damage the kids and ruin my relationship with them- especially since I had an unhealthy family dynamic growing up. So I got to work. I've read hundreds of books, taken dozens of parenting classes, mindfulness classes, created a "Montessori-like" home, and more. But nothing worked until I figured out how to break the negative cycles and bad parenting habits I had inherited. I was determined to find a way or make a way! An unhealthy and negative family dynamic was not an option. After cracking the code for myself, I helped others. And now this has become a framework tried and tested by hundreds of families.
