No more second-guessing every response or ending each day feeling burnt out and questioning if you’re doing it right.
I see you…
You’re giving it your all, it's not easy and some days leave you wondering if you’re doing it all wrong.
I see you when your child is still having daily tantrums despite you implementing everything you’ve learned about gentle parenting.
I see you putting in the incredibly hard work of breaking the cycle of hitting or yelling that were a part of your own childhood because you are determined not to repeat them with your children.
I see you doing your absolute best even in the midst of tantrums, sibling conflict, boundary testing, dysregulation, and power struggles.
Parenting is a journey that will ebb and flow, but what if you ended more days saying “I can really do this” instead of “Today was really tough again”.
What if you could finally feel confident about how you are raising your children? What if you had the tools to improve your family's life now and forever? You only get to raise your child once, your child only gets one childhood, doing it the best you can is priceless.
You’ve done the Google searching, followed parenting experts on Instagram, and maybe even listened to an episode or two of a parenting podcast. You feel like you’re doing “all the things”
here's the thing
“Why aren’t the boundaries I set working?”
“Why is my child still having daily tantrums?”
“What should I do when my child tries to hit me?”
“Why doesn't my child listen to me?”
“Why is my child acting out all of a sudden?”
“How can I avoid power struggles with my child?”
HOWEVER YOU KEEP ASKING YOURSELF these QUESTIONS…
Imagine finally having the support to succeed in parenting without the uncertainty of wondering if you are doing it all wrong?
can you imagine?
You’ll know exactly how to create a rhythm that helps your child feel secure, with less anxiety and fewer behavior challenges. They’ll trust you more, listen without constant power struggles, and begin to enjoy independent play, giving you time to focus on yourself or catch up the thing you've been wanting to get done.
When your child throws a big tantrum at the grocery store because you said no to yet another toy, you won’t find yourself snapping or yelling. Instead, you’ll know how to hold space for their emotions while still confidently holding the boundary.
When your child’s behavior stirs up old wounds from your own childhood, you won’t repeat the cycles you grew up with. You’ll be able to break the pattern and respond from a place of calm, unconditional love.
When an unexpected meltdown arises in the middle of a busy schedule, you won’t feel like you’re losing control. You’ll know how to calmly address it, keeping your day on track while meeting your child’s needs without added stress.
That would be amazing right? Let me paint the picture
I’m Chinyelu and I can’t wait to guide you through overcoming your parenting challenges so that parenting can finally feel joyful and your family can thrive.
After working in the classroom as a Waldorf preschool teacher for 16 years, and raising 3 of my own children, I’ve discovered the exact approach to raising children without the burnout, exhaustion, and stress.
I can’t wait for you to get inside The Nurturing Circle so that you can begin the steps that will be your next, more confident, more joyful chapter of parenting.
I’ll see you inside!
With love,
Chinyelu
Her guidance was always just the help I needed as I hit various bumps on my parenting journey. Along the way, she has always made me feel supported and validated in my struggles. Chinyelu is a gem who’s filled with deep parenting wisdom. I will forever be grateful for the role she has played in my family’s life.”
"There is no way I could have navigated all the challenges of parenthood as the mom of three young children without the guidance of Chinyelu.

Have a question before joining?
There isn't a set time commitment for members in The Nurturing Circle. Depending on how much 1:1 support you need I’d recommend setting aside 30 minutes a week to post your questions and engage with the community and because I know just how busy life is, you can also choose to go at your own pace. Everything in the membership is made to be integrated into your parenting journey and implemented right away or when you are ready! So don't let it become a big pressure looming over you, adding to your mental to-do list. Something that makes it even less time consuming is the free smartphone app. I recommend downloading the app so you can pop in and out when you have a free moment. Just pop in briefly whenever you have time and you’ll stay updated with all the happenings in the community!
You will have instant access to Letters to Chinyelu, the Q&A discussion circle where you can ask your parenting questions. You’ll also have instant access to recorded group live coaching calls, and seasonal interviews as they come out.
If you join and decide the community isn't for you, no worries! You can cancel at any time. I am happy to refund canceled memberships upon request if within 7 days of purchase.
The Nurturing Circle is so much more than your typical moms facebook group. The Nurturing Circle is a transformative place for parents to feel supported, connect, learn, and grow. Here are just a few of the reasons why The Nurturing Circle is extra special:
1:1 Support: you will have consistent access to parenting expert Chinyelu who is ready to guide you through any unique challenge you might be experiencing so that you can overcome them with confidence and clarity.
Live Coaching: Join Group Coaching calls led by Chinyelu and delve even deeper into the parenting challenges you might be facing. Feel supported by Chinyelu and feel in community with fellow members in a live setting.
Private Podcast: You will have access to our growing library of podcast episodes where Chinyelu will be interviewing fellow parenting experts on topics such as yelling, sleep, and homeschooling.
Connection and Community: Connect with like-minded parents who understand what you are going through.
Absolutely, all are welcome! I have coached parents who are in a Waldorf community and parents who know nothing about the Waldorf approach. My perspective is based on the Waldorf approach but can be implemented by anybody who it resonates with.
You can absolutely find parenting information for free throughout the internet, but think about it this way. You could either spend hours going down the internet rabbit hole just to find vague tips that you have most likely tried before but haven't been specific enough to your situation for them to work. As we all know, having children leaves you with little free time. Why spend the small amount of free time you do have scouring the internet for the right advice only to try it, not see results, and have to return to square one?
Instead, you could have direct access to a parenting expert who can help you with your exact situation while also learning the steps to create a holistic home life that nurtures your children so that you can have a more peaceful, less chaotic home life with fewer challenging days.
Absolutely! My experience and expertise lies in children 7 years old and under. So much happens in the 6th year of childhood and I am here to support your family through it.
Information is delivered in a variety of ways including written, video, live calls, as well as digital downloads such our digital magazine. All of the information is available online in our membership portal plus you can also download our app and have the entire membership available right on your phone!
By actively engaging in the community and with the course content, you can expect to learn how to transform how you parent. By asking your parenting questions in Letters to Chinyelu Q & A circle, and Live Group Coaching calls, you can expect to get the answers to your parenting questions so that you can solve the challenges you are currently facing. As an ongoing member, you’ll be able to update Chinyelu on how it’s going and ask more questions as they come up.
You’ll also have the opportunity to learn from your fellow members as you’ll hear what they are currently struggling with and this is a space where you will feel less alone.
No problem! The community will still be beneficial for you as you’ll be able to read through Q&A’s with other parents, participate in the challenges, learn from the digital downloads, and connect with like-minded parents. There are so many different aspects to the community so you are more than welcome to choose to engage with what serves you most.
After falling in love with Waldorf Education while living in Orange County California, I went on to earn my LifeWays North America training certificate in Child Development, and my Waldorf Early Childhood teaching certificate. I’ve attended countless conferences and seminars on child development in the early years as well as an international Waldorf early childhood conference in Switzerland. In 2004, my family relocated to Pennsylvania where I was fortunate enough to become the lead teacher of the preschool program at Kimberton Waldorf School. Here, I gained more hands-on experience guiding children with various challenges and unique personalities. I learned the importance of meeting each child where they were in their development and supporting them to create harmonious days which fostered happy and well-adjusted children. Working in an early childhood classroom for an additional 16 years at Kimberton Waldorf school allowed me to understand the huge range of parenting challenges, as I truly saw it all.
I also have three children of my own that I raised using the approach that I now teach. This allowed parenting to truly be an amazing experience for both me and my children. Parenting was not draining, challenges were few and I fully embraced the principles I learned from Waldorf to create harmonious and joy-filled days with my little ones. It’s my mission to help other parents create this kind of homelife for their family’s.
The aim of a Waldorf-inspired parenting approach is the act of striving to live more consciously and at the center of this striving, choosing to take the path of inner development which plays a valuable role in becoming more conscious of how we are choosing to parent our children. Some key areas that are important to strive for in this parenting approach are;
Being conscious of our words, actions, and gestures.
Working on self-development.
Working on our own issues and triggers.
Modeling behavior that we want to see in our children.
Creating healthy home rhythms.
Slowing down and simplifying daily life.
Showing compassion and empathy.
Understanding & accepting our children as individuals.
Aligning our thoughts, words, and actions, essentially being authentic.
Speaking to our children with respect.
Being intentional about our choices and decisions.
Making space for our children to express emotions while feeling safe.
