About me
Hi, I’m Betsy. I can't wait to support you on your parenting journey.

I am a single mother to an incredible young son and deeply passionate about supporting parents and caregivers on their journey of conscious parenting. There is a paradox of modern parenting, where so much of the focus is on the child, and the fact that a child's well-being is inextricably linked to their caregiver's is pretty ignored. I want to change that.
I am a certified facilitator of Shanker Self-Reg®, which was developed by one of the world’s leading authorities on the science of self-regulation, Dr. Stuart Shanker. Self-Reg® takes some of the most complex science of neuro-biology and polyvagal theory and breaks it down into five fundamental steps that can be executed in real life to help manage the energy and tension of not only our children, but also ourselves. Self-Reg has made me a more embodied, mindful and confident parent and I want to share it with you.
New Roots Parenting
Helping Parents Forge New Paths
I created New Roots Parenting to be a resource for parents and caregivers on their journey of conscious parenting.
If you are committed to learning the science of well-being for yourself and your family then New Roots Parenting is for you.
Now, more than ever, the modern family is incredibly diverse. My courses are designed to include all parents on this journey; fathers, single parents, mothers, foster parents, step parents, and grandparents, queer and non-conforming parents. From diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, all are welcome.
