Conscious Parenting Coaching
Clinical psychologist and psychotherapist Dr. Shefali Tsabary, founder of the Conscious Parenting Coaching Institute and NYT bestselling author, created this groundbreaking parenting and coaching method back in 2010. Oprah Winfrey has in fact deemed her the 'best parenting expert on this planet' and praised her work as revolutionary - and she's right! Dr. Shefali's methods turned the traditional parenting paradigm on its head:
More specifically, Conscious Parenting focuses on raising parent consciousness and supporting their evolution rather than trying to fix and control the child. CPC combines Western psychology with Eastern philosophy so you can harvest the best of both worlds. It's a highly transformative and impactful practice for a wide variety of challenges parents face.
Dr. Shefali directly trained and certified Gabriela through her Coaching Institute.
Gabriela successfully completed the alumni reboot program in 2025, acquiring additional life coaching skills.
"There is nothing wrong with our children; they are our mirrors, reflecting back at us what we refuse to see. And so, the best way we can help our children is to raise ourselves. Parenting is about the child within you, not the child in front of you. It is really our children who heal us."
Dr. Shefali
Stronger Connection
Can you really see, feel and hear your child? And perceive things as they are rather than how you'd like them to be? Learn how to better understand and bond with your child, supporting them best and letting the relationship bloom!
Bad Behaviour
Bad behavior can be so triggering for us parents, whether it's tantrums, lying, stealing, disobeying... You name it! We'll take a look behind the behaviour and spot the real need to work out the best remedy.
And yes, we'll also investigate your own triggers as a parent, perhaps surprising you as you learn where it all started!
Healthy Boundaries
Setting boundaries can feel extremely unsettling for most parents, who try to avoid this and instead scold, yell or suffer in silence. Doing this does nothing to reach your goal. Find out how to set effective boundaries for your children with respect to electronic devices, bedtimes, curfews, sweets etc.
Learning Challenges
If your child is facing a learning challenge of any kind, we'll delve into possible reinforcing factors and work out a plan for how to best support them. And yes, CPC will also prompt us to look at your own learning history ;-)
Given my experience working as a private teacher for children with learning disabilities, we can always extend the coaching to work with your child as well.
Anti-bullying Training
My mission for the last decade! I'll lead you behind the curtain to discover patterns and predispositions and share my dos and don'ts so your child can step out of this vicious cycle: using quick-wittedness, NLP, body language, psychodrama and other practical tools along the way. We'll also shine a light on your own past, digging into it and creating more serenity for you in the process.
Role Play / Psychodrama
We'll use role play and psychodrama to talk to and raise our inner child, rehearsing boundary-setting with your child(ren) and other family members. Speaking firmly yet kindly to your spouse, teenager, mother-in-law.
You'll be amazed to learn how much awareness and expertise you'll gain in role playing. Let's do it together!
Mindfulness/Meditation/Breath work
Get to know yourself better, calm your nervous system, self-regulate and self-soothe, and have more energy to parent - or simply be more Zen around your children or generally in day-to-day life.
Learn meditation and breathing techniques to quickly step out of fight-or-flight mode!
Self-care
We all know it from flying: put on your oxygen mask first before helping others! Learn how to connect and nurture yourself from within so you can be more present, patient and loving with loved ones: a must for leading a life of freedom, growth and joy!
Ancestral Healing
Did you know that unhealed affairs or trauma from your ancestral line can greatly impact your present life, even though you may have never met the relative responsible? Thanks to experiments with mice, science has proven this same impact. Let's explore your family line with its gifts and shadows to heal your own life and that of your child(ren).
