Being a parent is an amazing gift, yet at the same time, can be one of our greatest challenges. As a PCI Certified Parent Coach®, it would be my pleasure to work hand-in-hand with you as I guide you to lovingly create the family life of your best dreams and desires. I have been married for 37 years, and have parented two wonderful children who are now adults. I have worked with parents and their children as an elementary school teacher for over 20 years. I've taught Kindergarten for most of those years, but I have also taught grades 1–5. As a teacher, it has always been my joy to help families in any way I can. My PCI Parent Coach Certification® is a dynamic tool that has taught me how to combine my life experiences as a wife, mother, and teacher, with coaching skills and processes that affirm the positive things parents are doing. Through the coaching process, I can help parents discover their true and loving parenting heart.

Being a mom today isn't easy. You want to be calm, caring, and connected with your children, but then life happens! You lose your patience and maybe a little of your sanity, too. As dedicated as you are to being a great mom, you may find yourself frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed, and beginning to doubt yourself. It doesn't have to be this way! PCI Certified Parent Coach® Karen Bierdeman can help! Start closing the gap between where you are now and becoming the kind of mom you want to be. Sign up for my free e-course, "5 Secrets To Guilt-Free Mothering," and start on the journey to enjoying your kids and being the kind of mom you've always wanted.

I am the mom of a middle school daughter and elementary school son. In pursuing my studies in media theory and media literacy at San Francisco State University, I became very concerned about mass media's impact on our culture. Seeking Parent Coach Certification® from the PCI was a natural fit. I am thrilled to be a PCI Parent Certified Parent Coach® with the opportunity to help parents successfully rear their children in our challenging media age. I work with my clients to help reduce their stress load in this chaotic society and to support them to achieve their highest aspirations. Since informed healthy parenting is essential for the health of our society, I see my work with parents as part of a larger contribution that excites and inspires me.

I've worked with children and families as a direct service provider and as an evaluator for over 15 years. But I consider my most rewarding and significant accomplishment to be raising my two daughters (ages 20 and 23)—which involved "on-the-job training" to address the needs of a highly gifted child. I would love to share my insights and collaborate with you on your parenting journey. We focus on promoting your self-care, while addressing your gifted child's unique intellectual, social, emotional and behavioral needs. We will confront the cultural bias against academic ability and intellectual curiosity. By sharing stories of our parenting discoveries we identify your deepest longings, unleash your creativity, and make your dreams come true!
