HOLD Parenting Framework

Heal, Open, Listen, Deepen.

HOLD is a framework designed to educate and empower parents to create the harmonious relationships with their children that they’ve always dreamed of. Through this program, parents are guided to heal their own inner child while fostering deeper connections with their kids.

Often unknowingly, parts of our upbringing lead us to question or undermine how we show up as parents, pushing us into unconscious patterns rooted in how we were raised. The "I Am" Sessions offer parents the opportunity to see, understand, and heal these wounds. This transformative process shifts the way parents view behaviour—not as defiance or attention-seeking, but as a communication tool. It allows them to hold their child in a space of compassion and understanding, ultimately breaking free from intergenerational cycles and nurturing authentic connections.

The journey begins with the Safe & Sound Protocol, designed to help parents regulate and feel safe in their own bodies, expanding their capacity for connection. As parents experience this shift, their children naturally respond, leaning into the safety and co-regulation offered. This renewed connection deepens through participation in the Paradigm Shift Parenting Group, where parents bravely explore new ways to communicate. By holding space with regulation, validation, and curiosity, parents replace fear and punishment with understanding and authentic relationships.

Family sessions bring the entire family into a therapeutic sand process, uncovering safe connections, challenging blocks, and identifying repeating patterns. Children naturally lead through play—their most innate communication tool—with a trained interpreter creating a safe space to surface and release what needs to be witnessed. Individual play therapy sessions may also be recommended, giving children the opportunity to process deeper traumas or blocks.

HOLD equips parents with tools to heal, connect, and lead their families with intention and love.
