Parenting the First Years
with Katie DaMota, MAS, LC
My passion is helping you connect with your internal parenting compass. We'll work together to identify solutions rooted in your values, hopes, and expectations. This often involves reframing challenges, practicing radical acceptance, and always keeping the developmental needs of your child and the well-being of everyone in mind.
Embracing Parenting Circles
Welcome to the heart of The Nest, where we offer focused, compassionate parenting support for families with children from birth to four years old. Our virtual groups provide a safe and nurturing space to navigate the profound transformation of parenthood. We understand the complexities of parenting decisions and offer a platform to explore various approaches, particularly responsive, respectful, and conscious parenting.
Above all, we prioritize listening to your stories and fostering genuine connections with fellow parents. We acknowledge the self-compassion and grace essential for intentional parenting, embracing your unique journey.
