I help Moms of High School Seniors in the “Season of Letting Go”
I’m a Certified Life Coach as well as a Matrescence Coach/Facilitator the ONLY ICF-recognised coaching program focusing on the ground-breaking insight of Matrescence.

I was the one who “had it all together”- yet I was secretly hiding deep feelings of grief and sadness about letting my kids go.
Are you shocked and surprised that your child’s impending departure already hurts like hell, even though this is what you have always worked towards as a parent?
I was there too… all alone in my grief, dreading the end of motherhood as I knew it.
People teased me for being so emotional: “You worked so hard do all the things to get your child into the college of his choice. This is what you wanted, so what’s the matter with you?”
I worked with a therapist who got me through my first son’s senior year, but I was desperate for a portable “toolkit”, to help myself on the road, not only on her couch.
Then, I had a “parking lot moment”…Keys in hand, I asked myself, “when will I get the tools to do this myself?”
That’s when I found out that COACHING can do that!
Through coaching I learned how to respect my feelings without judgment and to find joy in the proud moments of Senior Year, dropping him at college, and returning to his empty room.
I know you can’t imagine that now, but I’m here to help you!
How I went through it
During my son’s senior year, it became a running joke with friends and family that I was suddenly “The Cryer”...I cried at all the “lasts”...the last prom, the last sports banquet, the last concert (and don’t even get me started about graduation). I felt ashamed, like something was wrong with me. The intensity was not something I could have ever imagined. (I even asked my sister to fly home with me after dropping my son at college because I was sure I was going to completely lose it on the plane.)
I know how it feels to feel like you’re falling apart...
And to be an expert at hiding it
But I have great news… it doesn’t have to be this way… it’s OK to mourn the end of motherhood as you’ve known it AND still proudly celebrate your child’s move to a new adventure.
How? Through life coaching.
I learned how to manage my brain and process what felt like waves of emotions as my sons moved on to their next chapters. And I dropped the “should-shame”, because there isn’t any “right” way to let go.
I started looking at myself with curiosity and love and I realized that healing starts when you stop hiding and talk to somebody about what you’re going through. I found a friend in my coach.
So, take those tissues, it’s OK to be “the Cryer”. (Just be sure to take enough for you and all the other moms...because there’s a whole lot of mothers who’ve been hiding their grief and confusion).
