Whether you’re navigating big feelings, setting boundaries, or managing sibling battles, I’m here to make parenting your spirited child a little easier. With practical tools, relatable stories, and a sprinkle of humor, I’m all about helping you feel confident and supported—so you can focus on what really matters: building a stronger connection with your child and finding joy in the chaos.

Raising kids should feel good, not full of stress.

THESE KIDS NEED A DIFFERENT APPROACH, SRSLY

Certified parent coach, m.ed education, mom of 3 wild ones, and your go-to guide for all things spirited kids and tough parenting moments.

I know just how tough parenting spirited kids can be—from the 'am I handling this right?' moments to the endless battles over intense feelings and pushing boundaries.

My goal is to take the pressure off and give you practical tools and support that work for your child's unique temperament. Because every parent deserves to feel confident and enjoy their child—no matter how challenging the journey.

Kirsten's Thriving Together community saved me during some HARD months. The workshops were so easy to follow, and it felt like having a friend explain everything step by step.

Having a 1:1 coaching call got us back on track and gave us a blueprint on how to respond to backtalk and hitting. A month later, we are in a much better place as a family. 

"Her down-to-earth advice and support made all the difference!"
