Find a Coach Options

Thanks for checking out my bio! I am the founder of Wildroots Parent Coaching, a PCI Certified Parent Coach®, and I have worked in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 15 years.  I love my work as a coach because of the powerful changes I see each week in my clients through our focus on using personal and family strengths to address areas of concern. When I’m not coaching I can be found adventuring in the Sierra Nevada with my family, line dancing, or carpooling kids around town! I bring my professional background as well as my own experience as a mom of two lively kids to our coaching sessions. The joys and struggles of being a parent are real and I look forward to collaborating with you on your parenting journey!

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

I felt very honored to get parent coaching from Emily right off the bat but thought I had a ‘leg up’ because I have a health coaching background. I wasn’t sure what the outcome of our sessions would unveil! Emily was incredibly easy to talk to and most importantly, felt very safe and non-judgmental. She kept me on track and guided me to quite a realization! By our last session, Emily reviewed and summarized our work together; she had eloquently noted a theme to all of our sessions. It was this ‘theme’ that gave me the insight I needed to make some very positive and hopefully life-long changes in my parenting style. I am forever grateful for her guidance! Parenting books and classes can be helpful but aren’t made for every child, working with Emily provided tailored guidance to improve everyone’s life in the family. Thank you Emily!

I was fortunate to work one on one for a number of sessions with Emily as my parent coach. Emily has a special way of connecting and communicating, and listens in a sincere and thoughtful way. She is insightful and creative when helping find solutions. I intend to look to Emily for parent coaching in the future as life brings new challenges and adventures to me and my kids.
