A Connected Parenting Series

We started our Gather & Grow parent coaching program to support families well beyond birth, because there’s no perfect way to prepare for parenting, and no one should have to navigate it alone.

Through Gather & Grow, we offer tools, ideas, and connection in a supportive group setting, helping parents tune into their values, strengthen their relationships, and shape rhythms that work for their unique family. We love watching community form as parents cheer each other on through both daily challenges and joyful milestones.

I feel more present and more mindful/intentional about my parenting choices and my day to day interactions. If you’re looking for a supportive community of likeminded parents to grow alongside, to challenge you and support you and laugh with you, then you’ve come to the right place ❤️ Thank you both so much- I know how much of yourselves you’ve poured into creating this group and it has been such a gift to all of us ❤️

Chandler – Gather & Grow

If you feel like you want more out of your parenting journey- more connection, more love, more understanding, more patience- this group has been an invaluable resource to me and my family. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in- I thought “I’ve tried apps, books, therapy, and still this is about as good as I can get.” and it was unsatisfying for me! I hoped the group wouldn’t be a waste of time, but went for it anyway and it has been made more of a difference than anything else I have ever tried, many times over. Kate and Emily are so kind and intelligent, and are the perfect people to lead this group. I’ve never felt judged, inadequate, or “less than” for being arguably farther behind than my peers. I was shocked at the language and behaviors of my peers- I’d never been around such emotionally intelligent people who genuinely like their families and seek depth with their children in a way the families up here are. Despite not always having the right words, the right validation or responses, no one has ever made me feel behind, it’s just me. I have such a love for everyone in this group that I was not expecting to feel going into this!

Micaela – Gather & Grow

So many valuable ideas gleaned from the group. I am extra thankful for the common thread of "I trust that growth unfolds in it's own time". I want to be able to implement every good idea and every great intention every day every week all the time (!!!) and just extra thankful for the continued reminder to trust the process of growth. Kate and Emily foster an inviting and sacred space. You get to show up authentically, with your strengths and your growth areas, and know that you will be seen and heard and nurtured. It's a lovely little community of parents, cheering one another on and holding space for one another as we all grow.
