Stuck in the Cycle of Misunderstanding?


When communication breaks down, frustration takes over.

Without the right tools, the gap between parent and teen keeps growing.







Parents feel:


💔 conversations quickly escalate into shouting or silent treatment
💔 their kids shut down, spending more time alone or on screens
💔 helpless, questioning every parenting decision










Teens feel:

💔 parents don’t listen-feeling unheard and frustrated
💔 every little thing turns into a fight
💔 they just want space, but their parents keep pushing 


Communication and connection require

curiosity and empathy. 

Remember when you held those little feet?

I Know How Hard This Feels—

you are not alone.



Parenting a teenager can feel like a wild ride, right? One minute, they’re all about wanting your support, and the next, they’re putting up walls. It can be really frustrating because no matter how hard you try, it seems like your words don’t hit home like they used to when they were little. You’re not alone in this – it’s a tricky phase for everyone!


Let's think about it from a teenager’s perspective for a moment. It can really seem like nobody truly gets what they’re going through, right? It’s especially tough when it feels like those who are supposed to understand them the most just don’t.



I’ve seen and felt this struggle firsthand -

and it doesn’t have to be this way.


With my training in peaceful parenting, communication strategies, and emotional regulation, I’ve helped families like yours break free from constant conflict and build real trust.



Through personalized 1:1 coaching, I’ll help you navigate these challenges —so  parents can feel confident, and teens can feel heard.

At the heart of it all, you both want the same thing

- a relationship built on love, respect, and understanding



Although you can reminisce about those cherished moments when you held them close, don’t lose hope; the bond is not gone, it's merely awaiting a chance to be rekindled, and you can begin creating new memories with your teens today.


Let’s create that together.



🫶 Welcome, nice to meet you! 🫶


I’m Arlette, and I believe in finding joy in the small, everyday moments. Life is full of ups and downs—sometimes we’re gliding effortlessly, and other times we’re on a wild roller coaster! The question is: Do we let fear take over, or do we learn to embrace the ride? I choose joy—what about you?


My mission is to empower individuals to master the art of communication and build stronger, more trusting connections with their loved ones. Navigating relationships takes patience, intention, and effort from both sides. And when it comes to parent-teen relationships? The challenge is even greater, as the developing teen brain introduces a whole new dynamic to the journey.

You deserve to be heard.

What happens when we work together?

You Feel Heard,

Understood, and Respected

Parents will learn how to:


💛 truly listen -judgement free, and communicate openly
💛 rebuild trust and understanding -without the yelling
💛 create a stronger, more connected relationship


Teens will learn to:


💛 speak  their mind without fear of being shut down -feeling safe

💛 experience calmer, more honest conversations with parents

💛 build trust and independence while staying connected to family

Let's Connect

My clients are gaining confidence

"I feel so much more self-confident"

“Arlette is an excellent coach. She really cares about her clients, very resourceful, compassionate, curious, authentic, and trustworthy. She adapted herself to my needs. She has so much knowledge and coaching skills. She is an amazing soul and I feel like I gained a friend.​ We had fun in our sessions! I felt understood, seen, listened to, and important.​We created a nice bond. She gave me the space to express myself. I was able to be authentic and show my messiness and fears. She is non-judgmental and respectful. She respected my rhythm and boundaries. She listened to me and didn’t have the need to be right. She respected my point of view while still sharing her insights. I liked that we just didn’t stick to my initial need for coaching: help with my kids’ behaviours, we discussed my business and personal life too. I loved her insightful questions and with simple action steps we agreed upon, I was able to move forward.I am grateful to have gained more clarity about my business, my blind spots and my fears and I am calmer and more aware when I am with my kids. I feel so much more self-confident.”

Theany,   Mom of 4

"I was always made to feel seen, heard and understood"

Arlette was extremely kind, heart led and personable throughout my coaching journey working with her. Arlette helped me learn about gentle parenting, nutrition and picky eating. I was always made to feel seen, heard and understood. She gave me confidence and encouragement with my actions and choices I was making. She went above and beyond with following up and providing amazing resources. We had a wonderful outcome which resulted in my picky eater trying lots of wonderful new foods through the use of play and fun. Working with Arlette not only benefited myself but my entire family. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your knowledge with me. Truly priceless.

"I felt like I was talking to a friend"

Arlette is a gifted coach and her intuitive, sensitive listening skills have supported me and encouraged me to start projects and goals that I have been procrastinating. She presented herself as caring, kind, genuine, empathetic, insightful, smart, motivating, professional, and she is very easy to talk to. She provided space and structure that was necessary for my learning and growth. She provided her support by checking in on my progress and with words of encouragement. She made me feel heard. I felt like I was talking to a friend. She is gentle, kind, and trustworthy. She’s full of insights and it’s great to brainstorm with her. She is a joy to work with due to her professional manner and exceptional communication skills. I love the email summaries after our sessions with the recommendations and encouragements she includes. I found them very helpful. As a procrastinator, I benefited with Arlette’s follow through and follow up texts. It told me she truly deeply cares for my growth and progress.
