Be The Kind of Parent You

Want To Be

No parent starts off knowing what to do...

Without Conscious Effort, Our Parenting Methods Can Create Conflict Instead of Connection.

The authoritarian way most of us have been taught to parent, creates conflict and frustration, endless power struggles and leaves us with broken and distant relationships with our children.

When we parent our children without working through our own history, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children, no matter how badly we want it to be different.

Harmony

It’s Never Too Late to
Turn Things Around

No matter what your relationship with your child(ren) looks like right now, there is hope.

Depending on where things are at, it can be hard to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is.

None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be and watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids.

"I have loved working with Sarah as my parent coach. She’s been non judgemental and given me space to really understand my own behaviours and how to build connection with my daughter. I have felt my whole family has benefited as a result of the support Sarah has provided me."

Hello, I am Sarah Allan

I am a certified conscious parenting coach, holding a degree in children’s mental health, with 5 years of experience working with families in social care. My mission is to empower parents with the insight and tools to overcome their parenting challenges and ultimately bring more joy, peace, and connection to their families.

My journey to becoming a parenting coach was profoundly influenced by my own personal inner work. Through extensive self-reflection and education, I became acutely aware of how childhood experiences ultimately determine our adult behaviour. Through my studies, I have learnt about attachment science, children’s brain development, nervous system science, emotional intelligence, and nonviolent communication. I believe it is my life’s purpose to make this profound knowledge accessible and actionable for parents, helping them to see transformative changes in their parenting and ultimately raise the next generation of emotionally intelligent humans.

At the start of my parenting journey I was highly strung, trying to be the perfect parent, which led me to feeling stressed out and questioning my ability as a parent. Am I a perfect parent now? No, I don’t believe there is such a thing! However, the tools and awareness I have gained have enabled me to foster a beautiful connection with my son and allow me to experience joy in my parenting. I truly believe every parent can access the joy In parenting with the right tools and knowledge. I am so excited to share this gift with as many families as I can.

The traditional

‘power-over’ model of parenting isn’t working.

It makes you feel like you’re not doing a good job.

But that's not the truth. I believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.

Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.

How It Works:

When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.

I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.

If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.

Since doing the Transformational Parenting course with Sarah we have such a happier house! Communication has improved between all of us, I feel like I understand the kids a lot better and am able to empathise with them more when their behaviour is challenging. I learned so many strategies that have come in useful, not just with the children but with other members of the family too. I'm so grateful we got to take part in this course
