To all the lunch-packers. Laundry-folders. Carpool drivers. Goodnight kiss-givers.

To all the tear-wipers. Summer camp finders. Memory makers.

To all the parents who’ve shown up at work with someone else’s snot on their shirts. To all the stay-at-home moms who cringe at the question “So, what do you do?”. To all the single mamas holding down the fort at work and home.

I see you.

And I'm here to help you become the kind of parent (and person) you've always wanted to be.

Charissa helped me find confidence and fulfillment.
​
​​Charissa helped me find confidence in knowing how to be efficient, productive and have a feeling of fulfillment in my work hours. The plan we came up with seems really simple! Change can be simple, it doesn't have to be complicated.

​Hi, I'm Charissa.

​I coach parents with nonstop responsibilities who just need a break. They’re overwhelmed and secretly feel guilty for not enjoying every moment. 

I help them make time for themselves, do things they love, and handle hard situations with confidence so they can become the kind of parent (and person) they’ve always wanted to be.

​One of my favorite clients told me, "I am a completely different person from who I was three months ago."
​

Let's do this!

Discover whether self care coaching is right for you. I can't wait to talk!
I regularly hear from clients that my genuine and compassionate presence puts them at ease and makes a safe space for them to share their biggest worries and deepest hopes.

I’ve worked with hundreds of parents across two continents and 17 cities as a speaker, workshop facilitator, and self care coach.

Tl;dr? You’re in good hands.

"I heard my heart say: You are here and you are worth it all"

Each conversation I have with Charissa provides an amazing opportunity for me to SEE my OWN heart with clarity.

​I could literally feel the protective armor around my heart melt away as I hear my voice and my heart say: You are here and you are worth it all.
​

You love your kids to the moon and back.


But you’re taking care of everyone and your days are packed from the sound of your phone alarm (or the elbow-in-your-ribs of kids invading your bed) to when you pass out for the night.

You’re desperate for a break, but feel like you can’t do anything without making arrangements for your family (so it’s easier to keep doing it all yourself). 

I understand.

​That's why I'm passionate about helping you make time for yourself, do things you love, and handle hard situations with confidence.

I help my clients set goals they’re excited about and break everything down into doable steps so they can become the calm, present parents they want to be.

"I had no idea we would get this far!"

​​​Wow! We got a lot of work done! With every elusive idea I tossed out, Charissa came back with the right questions to unpack those ideas and dig deeper into what they meant to me and how I could make them a reality. I had no idea we would get this far in our FIRST session. We did it, and I can’t wait to see where we go from here!

Are you ready to STOP yelling and START being
​the calm, present parent you want to be?

​I can help you:

  • Wake up ready for the day so you can handle whatever life throws at you

  • Have the reserves to respond when hard things happen with your kids

  • Finally have space for the idea that’s been brewing in your mind so you can pursue your dreams (not just handle your responsibilities)

  • Have energy and brainspace to feel good and take great care of your family
    ​
  • Give yourself permission to start doing the things you want to do, guilt-free, so you can stop feeling resentful and start feeling like yourself again​

Wondering when it's YOUR turn for a break?


Let's make it happen! We’ll talk by phone or video call so you can meet with me from anywhere in the world.

Sound good?

Basically, there are two ways to work with me.

I'd recommend Charissa to anyone feeling stuck.
​
Charissa followed up beyond the scheduled coaching sessions. That truly encouraged me to keep at it. I'd recommend her to anyone feeling stuck with where they're at and wanting to pursue personal understanding and growth.

I made a personalized goal instead of a one-size-fits-all idea from a book or magazine.

Charissa incorporated exactly how I work into the goal. I made a personalized goal instead of a one-size-fits-all idea from a book or magazine. I'd recommend her to new moms and career moms like me who are struggling with how to balance all the things in life.

I'm happier with myself, my family and our rhythms.

Self care coaching is a regular focused hour to talk with a wise listener, an asker, a synthesizer. There's truths, or gold, in all of us, but it's buried so deep. We need this process to get to the gold. It's like, I got to the gold! 

Ready? I've got you.
