Mindful parenting coaching is a service that helps parents cultivate a mindful and conscious approach to parenting. It involves working with a trained coach who provides guidance, support, and tools to help parents develop and enhance their mindfulness skills in the context of parenting.
The concept of mindful parenting draws upon the principles of mindfulness, which is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with non-judgmental awareness. It encourages parents to bring this mindful awareness to their interactions with their children, their own emotions and reactions, and the overall parenting experience.
A mindful parenting coach can assist parents in various ways, including:
Developing mindfulness skills: The coach can teach parents techniques and exercises to cultivate mindfulness, such as meditation, deep breathing, and body awareness. These practices help parents become more attuned to their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, enabling them to respond to their children in a calm and non-reactive manner.
Parent-child communication: The coach can help parents improve their communication with their children by teaching active listening skills, empathetic understanding, and effective ways to express emotions and needs. Mindful communication fosters a deeper connection and understanding between parents and children.
Managing parental stress: Parenting can be challenging and stressful at times. A mindful parenting coach can provide strategies and coping mechanisms to help parents manage stress, regulate their emotions, and prevent parental burnout. They may also guide parents in creating self-care routines and setting boundaries to prioritize their well-being.
Cultivating compassion and acceptance: Mindful parenting emphasizes cultivating compassion, both towards oneself and one’s children. The coach can guide parents in developing self-compassion practices and teaching children empathy, kindness, and acceptance.
Conscious discipline and behavior management: The coach can assist parents in implementing conscious discipline techniques that prioritize respectful and positive discipline approaches. They can help parents understand their children’s behavior, respond effectively, and promote healthy emotional development.
Mindful parenting coaching is a collaborative process that tailors the coaching experience to the specific needs and challenges of each parent. The coach provides support, accountability, and guidance as parents navigate their parenting journey with mindfulness and intention.
There are numerous benefits associated with practicing mindful parenting. Here are some key advantages:
Enhanced parent-child connection: Mindful parenting fosters a deeper bond and connection between parents and their children. By being present and fully engaged in the present moment, parents can truly listen to their children, understand their needs, and respond with empathy and compassion. This strengthens the parent-child relationship and creates a sense of trust and emotional security.
Improved emotional regulation: Mindful parenting helps parents develop greater emotional awareness and regulation. By practicing mindfulness, parents become more attuned to their own emotions and reactions, allowing them to respond to their children from a place of calmness rather than reactivity. This leads to more effective problem-solving and conflict resolution, reducing the likelihood of impulsive or harsh reactions.
Reduced parental stress: Parenting can be demanding and stressful, but mindfulness can help parents navigate these challenges with greater ease. Mindful parenting techniques, such as deep breathing and self-compassion, can help reduce stress levels and prevent parental burnout. By taking moments of self-care and cultivating a more relaxed and accepting mindset, parents can approach parenting with more resilience and a positive outlook.
Positive modeling: Children learn by observing and imitating their parents. When parents practice mindfulness, they serve as positive role models for their children. By witnessing their parents’ calmness, emotional regulation, and compassionate behavior, children are more likely to internalize these qualities and incorporate them into their own lives.
Improved communication and conflict resolution: Mindful parenting emphasizes effective communication and empathetic understanding. By practicing active listening and non-judgmental acceptance, parents create a safe space for their children to express themselves. This leads to better communication and conflict resolution within the family, fostering healthier relationships and mutual respect.
Increased self-awareness: Mindful parenting encourages parents to cultivate self-awareness and reflect on their own thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior. This self-reflection allows parents to identify and address any personal triggers or areas for growth, leading to personal development and more intentional parenting choices.
Enhanced well-being for the whole family: When parents prioritize their own well-being through mindfulness practices, the entire family benefits. By taking care of their mental, emotional, and physical health, parents can create a positive and harmonious environment for their children to thrive in.
Overall, practicing mindful parenting offers a range of benefits that contribute to a more positive and fulfilling parenting experience, improved parent-child relationships, and the holistic well-being of the entire family.

I have been taking session with Bhagyashree Sharma since 6 months now.
I was struggling with low self-esteem and confidence issues. I had actually slipped into anxiety so much that any small thing affected me. But after taking the sessions with ma’am I could see a very different change in my way of thinking, decision making and handling everyday situations. My anxiety and panic attacks had started affecting my married life. But ma’am used to patiently listen to all my griefs without giving any judgemental opinions. Her techniques helped me alot to overcome my fears and anxiety. Thankyou ma’am

To my coach and confidant,
I can’t comprehend the words to explain the growth I have experienced from my sessions with you just a few times. I used to feel anxious, sad and angry about the things that affected my career, relationship with myself and love life. I am becoming the better version of myself. The techniques that I did with you during my session is out of the world that I would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat!
You are one of the most caring, kind, and above all, unbelievably intuitive. I cannot wait to continue having sessions with you and to be able to grow as a good person to myself. My words don’t do justice for the sessions that you have done to me. You deserve nothing but the best. I can consider myself very lucky to have met you as my coach. Sending you endless love and happiness.
Love you ♥️

Feedback = I thank Bhagyashree for providing proper counseling and guidance at a crucial point in my life when I needed it the most. She helped me find my anchor and love myself once more. I was facing serious infidelity issue with my spouse and was very depressed and totally devastated. She taught me different techniques and methods to deal with the issue and love and respect myself once more and regain the confidence I had lost. I thank her with all my heart.

I was going through one of the worst phases in my life; also, I was reluctant to go to a psychologist. However, I took the first step in filling out the intake form from Brainstorm International and now realize it was the best decision. The sessions taken by Bhagyashree were beneficial, and she tracked the progress of improvement in every other session. The EFT technique was something new to me. However, during the sessions, I was guided well and made comfortable, which helped the technique gradually make me feel better. The sessions were always taken on time, the counsellor was approachable if I required sessions other than the scheduled ones, and guidance was provided off sessions too. Overall, it was a great decision and within a month, I was able to start getting back normally to my daily routine life. I thank Brainstorm International for their support in this healing journey and encourage others to contact them in case they require mental health support.
