Bedside Table Staple!
As a mom of three, I’m ALWAYS seeking new ways to live a more grounded and harmonious family life. I’ve been a fan of Chinyelu for years and I’m excited she finally put her wisdom on paper in such an easily digestible way. Whether through her podcasts or parent coaching, her guidance always makes me feel supported and nurtured as a parent, so this is a two for one in that my kids are benefiting from it just as much as I am. This book is not leaving my bedside table since I’ll be referencing it often!!

The wealth of skills provided can help the development of children's true potential--and our own as parents."

I have guided hundreds of families in parenting, and I've seen the same struggles time and time again: the daily challenges, overwhelm, self-doubt, and most of all, the desire to raise happy, resilient children in a joyful, harmonious home. The Little Book of Parenting is my answer to these challenges.
Over 30 years ago when I had my first child, I knew I wanted to parent differently than I had been parented.
From the very first Waldorf parent-child class that I enrolled in with my son, I was immediately drawn to the philosophy and immersed myself in the community.
I learned a great deal in these early years parenting my children and this transformative experience allowed me to parent my children with greater consciousness, connection, understanding, and kindness.
Parenting no longer felt draining or challenging as I embraced the principles I learned from Waldorf to create harmonious and joy-filled days with my little ones.
My Waldorf teaching journey began at a Waldorf school in southern California where I found immense joy in teaching parent-child classes for a few years.
Shortly after I had my third child, my family moved to Vancouver, Canada where I continued to teach parents of young children in my home based parent-child program while at the same time I opened a Waldorf inspired store that I ran as the sole owner.
5 years later, my family moved to Pennsylvania and my journey led me to become a lead teacher at a Waldorf school where all three of my children attended.
After completing numerous early childhood trainings, attending countless workshops and conferences, and leading in the classroom for over 15 year, combined with the joyful experience of raising my own children, I felt called to support parents in a different way and this led to the creation of We Nurture Collective.
