I started working with Sue DeCaro at a time when I was just beginning my spiritual exploration of my approach to parenting – specifically after reading two books by Dr. Shefali Tsabary; Conscious Parenting, and The Awakened Family. Our two children were in high school at the time, and I was uncomfortable with how I approached my relationship with them, and was unsure how to deepen my relationship with either of them. I began meeting with Sue regularly and over that time I learned much about myself, my own parents, my spouse, and my children. Developing a greater understanding of my reaction to what I perceive as my strengths and weaknesses, Sue’s suggestions have inspired me to extend myself to my children in a more selfless, productive way, which I have discovered to be very meaningful. She has also helped me develop a stronger understanding of myself. One thing that I have begun doing at her suggestion is sending encouraging text messages to each of the kids without an expectation of a response from either. At first, only my daughter responded, but in time, my son also began responding positively on his own, which was very surprising.

Over the past few years, with Sue’s help, I have developed a much more meaningful connection with both of my children – and it’s not just my opinion! Both of them have confirmed that – on separate occasions! I really look forward to my appointments with Sue – spending time focused on what’s happening in my spirit, and what I can learn from it, has brought me much happiness and peace as a mother, daughter, wife and woman in general.

Since working with Sue, our son has graduated from college, is working full-time in his desired field, and has a strong connection to me, his father, and our extended family members. Our daughter is a college sophomore, pursuing her degree of choice, with a strong personal direction teeming with self-confidence. My own relationships with my children, my living parent, my siblings, spouse and friends have been significantly and positively impacted by Susan. I am tremendously grateful to her for the coaching and her help, and highly recommend her as a teacher and coach. I have become a much more effective and self-inquisitive person with Sue’s advice, and I look forward to even more impactful realizations!

With the deepest appreciation.

Sue is an extraordinary coach. She beautifully combines the knowledge of conscious and positive parenting with practical solutions to empower parents to live their best self and build a strong relationship with their children. I highly recommend her and her work!

She (Sue) listened to our concerns – encouraged our efforts – helped us uncover our family goals and gave us solid tools to help us through our challenges….everything she said we immediately put into practice and it worked like a charm. Now when we face issues- we know how to plow through in a way that is compassionate – knowing her suggested approaches have a positive impact on our kid’s confidence and well-being. I can go on and on about how delightful this experience with Sue has been! We finally felt like we had that “parent instruction guide” that we all wished the hospital sent home with! Lol.

Thank you once again Sue- you truly have a gift and I’m so happy our paths crossed.

Conscious parenting gave our kids the voice we didn’t realize we were not giving them.

Its not like we weren’t doing our best as parents before, but now we have more tools, and the difference is unmistakable.

Conscious parenting gave us a healthy awareness of how easy it can be for parents to unknowingly pass along shame. That awareness and the newfound courage to include our kids in major decisions has been a game-changer.

You will be surprised when you find out that your house does not have to be a dictatorship. We now listen to our kids in ways we never thought we would/could. We have been blown away by their ideas, opinions and solutions.

Sue has wonderful insight and a gentle manner.  She has helped us as parents to understand the needs of our children and to parent them in a way that empowers them to be the best version of their true selves.

Our home now is filled with less conflict and more mutual respect.  We still love our kids to the moon, only now we love them more unconditionally.  Our house is happier and more peaceful.  Working with Sue has been
wonderful gift for us.  5 stars all around!!

Thank you for bringing a new level of beauty into our lives. We are forever appreciative and grateful for you.

We had never heard of a Parent Coach before we started this journey with our daughter. Finding the right resource for our daughter was hard…but finding a resource for us was not even a thought. We struggled desperately to say the right thing and do the right thing for our daughter.

We learned very quickly that not only did our daughter need some resources, but we did too! Having the chance to work with a Parent Coach was different and refreshing. Another parent at our daughter’s new school highly recommended Sue as an exceptional resource. We are so glad that we were introduced to her. Sue has truly been a life line for us. Sue has been where we have been, and offers ways a parent can frame a situation to move forward in a positive way. We have learned “what we focus on grows” and have trained ourselves to see the good things to love and nurture in each of our children. Anyone with a struggling child, needing to learn how to manage their own expectations to help a child move in a positive direction, is looking in the right place.

Sue has been a wonderful resource and please know she is able to bring a light of clarity in troubled times.

When I first got in touch with Sue, I didn’t think she could really help with what I was going through with my family. We had a lot of problems with communication and I could not see a solution in my future.

We met and discussed my situation and ways to incorporate new ideas. I looked forward to meeting Sue each week to discuss how things were progressing and what I could do to make my dream of better communication with my family become a reality. Positive reinforcement and better listening skills were some of the things that helped. It was amazing to see the transformation of our family and how we communicate.

She really helped me a lot and I can’t thank her enough.

Sue was instrumental in helping me with my son. He is particularly intelligent, creative, and determined. He likes to do things his way and my husband and I have had great difficulty trying to figure out how to get him to comply with our rules.

He is six years old and we have been pretty much mystified about how to reach him since he was three. We have been working on this and trying to approach the issue from different angles for literally half of his life. But, in three short months, through my work with Sue, I was able to figure out ways to get him to comply with our house rules in ways that made him feel motivated to comply without really feeling like he was complying. Through Sue’s listening skills and excellent questions, I was able to realize that I need to present things to my determined little guy as a challenge. Since that discovery, we have been able to get him to comply with all sorts of things that he did not used to comply with, such as eating only in the kitchen, not leaving food trash all over the house, etc. Sue has been a lifesaver to us. I love my little boy more than anything, but I was growing increasingly frustrated with my inability to reach him.

Now, just three short months later, I feel as if my family has been given a new lease on our relationships. We are enjoying each other more and I am so grateful for my son’s compliance. I cannot thank Sue enough for all she has done for me and my family.

With my children attending school full days, I felt overwhelmed by a strong desire to re-enter the work force in a way that would create an outlet for my creative talents.

Sue, with her compassionate wisdom helped guide me through worries of neglecting my family, doubts about my professional self and confusion where to start. She helped me to become grounded in my strengths, while creating a clear picture of my ideal, in all aspects of my life. With Sue’s support, I began to create that life, one step at a time on a path that worked just for me. Months later, I am just as enthusiastic about my journey, enjoying my family, and call on our coaching conversations when I begin to doubt.

If I were asked what was most significant in my coaching process, it was Sue’s ability to strengthen and define what I already knew deep within myself. She is a true gift

I credit my coaching process with Sue DeCaro as the single most powerful resource that has changed our course as a family and me personally.

I have gained incredible self-awareness and honest introspection about past, present, and what is possible for the future, through my sessions with Sue. I have witnessed and experienced a dramatic change in my relationship with my daughter already by implementing various tools and techniques I have learned through my coaching process.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate my coaching experience with Sue a 10….without question!
