Services
Caring for children isn’t something we’re meant to do alone—and it certainly doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all manual.
That’s why I offer a range of support services rooted in neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical tools that meet families, schools, and communities right where they are.
Whether you're seeking personal coaching, professional development, or an inspiring speaker for your next event, I’m here to help guide and equip you every step of the way.
Transform your parenting from the inside out.
Through personalized coaching sessions, we’ll dig deep into your family’s unique dynamics, your child’s needs, and your parenting goals. Together, we’ll explore nervous system science, connection-based discipline, communication, and boundaries. This is a safe space to unpack inherited patterns, rewire your responses, and discover the tools to parent with more intention, empathy, and confidence. Offered as a 6- or 12-week program.
You're not alone—find growth and connection in community.
Join a supportive cohort of like-minded parents and caregivers in a 6-week group coaching experience that blends education, reflection, and real-life application. Each week, we dive into topics like emotional regulation, respectful boundaries, child development, and breaking generational cycles. You’ll walk away with new tools—and a village to cheer you on.
Equip the parents, caregivers, and leaders in your community.
I offer practical, interactive workshops that give parents, teachers, and community leaders a deep understanding of children’s behavior, emotional development, and nervous system needs. Workshops can be tailored to your group’s unique challenges and goals, offering real tools that foster stronger, more compassionate relationships with children.
Support educators to better support children.
With training grounded in interpersonal neurobiology, trauma-informed practices, and the Montessori approach, I help schools cultivate environments where both children and adults can thrive. Trainings include practical strategies for co-regulation, managing challenging behaviors, fostering secure attachment in the classroom, and creating inclusive, emotionally safe learning spaces.
Inspire and inform with science-backed insight and heart-led stories.
Looking for a dynamic speaker to bring parenting, childhood development, and trauma-informed practices to life? I bring warmth, clarity, and real-world experience to every stage. Whether you’re hosting a parenting summit, a community event, or a podcast, I can offer keynotes, breakout sessions, and interviews that leave your audience empowered and equipped.
"Kayla's approach to fostering loving and consistent boundaries with children was as developmentally informed as it was full of heart. We appreciated her empathic way of advocating for children while also supporting the families who care for them."
- Jake Cohen, director at Clover Montessori School
"Kayla’s Parenting Toddlers with Confidence workshop targeted all the necessary issues that parents of this age group face. The topics were very informative, but not too much lecturing. She added her personal experiences appropriately and professionally."
- Amy Mickel, director at Tiny Tots
"We had a great time with Kayla rethinking what a tantrum is, what it means for us as adults, and what it is for children, making it easier to know how to deal with it. It was clear and we loved the examples she gave us!"
- Nahema Ghaziri, Director at Montessori Lab
