Our Story

Hi, I'm April. 

I have been working intimately with parents and caregivers for many years and in many capacities, including spending the past ten years supporting families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

During my work in youth mental health, assessing parenting capacity and providing parent education; I saw firsthand the magic that happens when parents are guided to be reflective of their own lives and in their parenting.

Working in youth mental health and with parents under pressure has given me a unique lens into the struggles families face, but it also opened my eyes to how much change is possible when parents lead with compassion and understanding, starting with compassion and understanding of themselves. The work I have completed over the past decade has been immensely rewarding but I knew I could make a more profound impact by connecting directly with parents like you.

And so, The Introspective Parent was born.

It’s about understanding not just your child, but also yourself. I’m not here to give you a quick fix.

Parenting is complex, emotional and downright exhausting at times. But I promise you, the reward of seeing your child grow into a well-adjusted, compassionate, happy human being? That’s worth ever sleepless night and frustrating moment.

I get it – parenting isn’t for the faint hearted. It’s messy, emotional and there is no manual. Parenting is a complex puzzle, one that often feels like you’re missing a few pieces.

That’s where The Introspective Parent steps in.

I bring not just my professional experience but my passion for empowering parents to the table. And that’s a game changer. Whether you’re drawn to the intimacy of 1:1 mentoring, reflective parenting courses or the welcoming support of a community, we’ve got you covered. So, if you’re ready to take a more introspective approach to parenting – finding joy in the highs and learning from the lows – I
invite you to join our community. Because, honestly, every parent deserves the chance to unlock the deep, meaningful connections that make family life not just bearable but beautiful.

Ready to make a positive impact in your family’s life? I can’t wait to guide you on this journey.
