Hi there, I’m Jesse Nattamai.

So nice to meet you!

I’ve struggled with parenting and felt lost like so many parents do. Through my respectful parenting training and experiences as a teacher and mom, I now approach parenting with a unique perspective and have supported families for over a decade (with hard days too because #momlife is like that). Together, let’s pave a new way that helps you create the family life you’ve dreamed of.

This is my story, if you'd like to read more... 

I had worked with parents and children as a teacher and a social worker, and so I thought parenting for me would be a breeze. I put on a smile, but in reality, I struggled every day. I tried to follow the well-meaning advise from others who seemed to thrive with attachment parenting practices, and read a book on how to get my baby to be the “happiest on the block.”

None of it felt like the right fit.

While up with my baby in the wee hours of the night, I scrolled my phone and stumbled upon a parenting approach that truly opened my eyes.

It's called the Educaring®Approach (RIE) which was founded by Magda Gerber, a child therapist who believed that babies are worthy of our respect as whole people from birth, and learn best through child-led play and soulful caregiving. 

After making shifts in my parenting, I began my RIE® training which included classes, conferences, and a year long practicum working with diverse families and needs. I gained my own parenting coach to talk to.

I felt motivated to start meaningful self-care rituals and discovered my own unmet needs. Each passing day, I could see and feel my family and personal life transform from anxiety and frustration, to much more ease and delight.

I wish the same for you too.
