About Kathy

Welcome to Hope for Parents. I'm Kathy Thomas and I'm glad you logged on.

I could start with my credentials but instead thought it more beneficial to tell you why I became a parent coach in the first place. So here goes...

As a young mother of 2 small children, I struggled with the same challenges that you may be encountering today. Unlike today however, parenting help was sparse twenty years ago. I felt alone, frustrated and anxious. My kids were seriously acting out and my partner and I fought about everything. What I was doing just wasn't working and I was at my wit's end! Sound familiar?

You Can Have a Calmer and Happier Household

I eventually found the parenting help I so desperately needed and let me tell you - IT REALLY WORKED! Suddenly, I was no longer alone, my partner and I learned how to accept each other's different parenting styles, and my kids began living in a much calmer and happier household. I was so convinced there was a BIG need out there for parenting help, that I took the training and became a certified parent coach.

Recognizing the parent-child relationship as one of the most important and complex relationships in a parent's life, I offer hope, dedication, and, in some cases, a safe harbour to the many parents I've coached along the way, helping them stay close with the ones they love while keeping their sanity at the same time! I've combined all the strategies and techniques I've learned into a practical and effective process to provide a modern resource for today's parents.

in a Thoughtful, Positive Way.

My passion and purpose is to empower you as parents AND as individuals. I offer a set of strategies and techniques to help you learn the skills that make it possible for you to handle any parenting challenge, present or future, in a thoughtful, positive way.
