Hi, I’m MELYNDA O’BRIEN.
Joyful Connection - A Little About Me
As a parenting coach, I’m passionate about helping moms walk in freedom because I know what it’s like not to. I’m all too familiar with the rollercoaster ride of parenting - from those heart-melting newborn moments to the dreaded public meltdowns that make you question everything. But thanks to some serious soul-searching and a lot of help and training, I’ve been able to find my way through the chaos and I’m going to help you do the same.
I do my best work at the intersection of faith and neuroscience to help moms build joyful connections with their children. Whether you’re struggling to find your footing or just need a little extra support, I’m here to help you tap into your own strengths and values.
I live in a small town south of Seattle with my husband and two kids. We’re big fans of outdoor adventures - weather permitting, of course! I am at my happiest when I am walking through an indoor plant shop and taking care of my garden at home.
I can’t wait to navigate this wild ride of parenthood with you!
My Approach
In my approach to parent coaching, I integrate my Christian faith with evidence-based techniques rooted in neuroscience. While my beliefs guide me to embody the principle of "love your neighbor," I work with individuals of diverse backgrounds and belief systems, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all. My coaching philosophy emphasizes the universal values of empathy, compassion, and understanding, regardless of religious affiliation, fostering healthy connections within families
