Big changes.
Big emotions.
Big parenting moments.
When your kid comes out as trans
and you feel overwhelmed,
I help you find The Way Forward.
Parenting wasn’t supposed to feel this hard.
Are you:
➡️Supporting your child after they came out as trans/non-binary?
➡️Parenting a sensitive, strong-willed child with big emotions?
Do you want:
✅to stay grounded
✅to keep your connection strong
✅to parent with calm confidence, even through the hardest moments
✅your child to feel safe, loved, and truly understood
Right now, it feels like too much.
You’re not failing; you’re parenting through challenges you never expected, without a plan for how to handle them.
I’ll help you find the way forward.
🌈 Your kid just came out and you weren't ready for it
Maybe they told you they’re gay, trans, nonbinary; or used words you’re still learning.
You love your child. You want to get this right. But inside, you might be scared, shocked, or afraid of saying the wrong thing.
That doesn’t make you a bad parent. It makes you a human one.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
This changed everything for our family
"Ingrid will help you realize that all is not lost: you are better than you think you are, and there is a lot you can do to build and maintain loving and respectful relationship with your kid."
Coaching Client (Kitchener, Ontario)
Who I Am, and Why I Do This
I’m Ingrid, a certified parent coach, former teacher of 30+ years, and a mom.
I’m the mom of a transgender child. That experience reshaped everything I knew about love, identity, and supporting an LGBTQ+ kid through uncertainty.
It’s one thing to support someone else’s child.
It’s another to sit with your own fear and still be their safe place.
This work is personal. I offer parenting support and coaching for parents of transkids and deeply sensitive kids because what we model, how we lead, and how we repair shapes generations.
You don’t have to do it perfectly. Just be willing to do it differently.

FAQs
Do you coach just moms, or dads too?
I work with all parents and caregivers: moms, dads, stepparents, grandparents; anyone facing parenting challenges.
Does my partner need to be involved?
No. One parent can create real change. If your partner joins in, that can be helpful, but you can start on your own.
Will you meet with my child?
I coach parents, not their kids. Real change starts with you feeling supported, steady, and confident.
My child just came out, but they’re an adult. Will you still work with me?
Yes. Parents are parents no matter how old their kids are, and supporting your trans child matters at every stage.
