About Us

As Mothers and Grandmothers our passion has been exploring and discovering new ways of enjoying and navigating the journey of parenting. Our focus has been on bringing forth the best in our kids, while also bringing forth the best in us! We have learned that parenting can be easier and more enjoyable when we let go of any preconceived ideas of what parenting “should” be. 

Over the past 45 years we have had the privilege of supporting parents who were looking for new and expansive ways of perceiving and embracing life. Parents who knew there must be new and better ways of living and supporting their kids in having happy, healthy, empowered and loving lives. Parents who embraced the thinking that heart felt unconditional love and listening is one of the most important gift we can give our kids.

We have appreciated the  power of community that has supported us in all the ins and outs of our day-to-day experiences of parenting. Grateful for the parents and friends who have been inspired to get to know our kids, seeing and supporting them in fulfilling their wants and needs. While also reminding each other that we have want and needs too!

We are founders and facilitators of a live event called Freedom at the Core, which is now an online course. We also facilitated events for the kids whose parents who participated with us. We decided to create an illustrated “Freedom at the Core for Kids” manual for the kids to enjoy. Many parents told us that when they looked at the illustrations and read the manual they “got it” on another level. With that in mind, we are presently creating a series of kids books reflecting what we keep learning from our own parenting and all the wonderful parents, grandparents and others along the way.
