Shifting the Parenting Paradigm
Online coaching for parents, children, teens and young adults with Vanessa Hubbard Previsic.
Is your child reactive, socially anxious, resistant, withdrawn, shut down, or losing interest in school? Are you going through a big family transition – divorce, struggling to adjust to a post-COVID rhythm, or simply questioning whether there’s a better way to live and relate during these intense times?
You're not alone.
We are in an era of radical change – as a planet, as communities, as parents, and in the very fabric of our family structures. In order to meet these changes consciously, we must learn how to respond instead of react, how to feel our feelings rather than suppress and avoid them, so our children can see what being “grown-up” really means: Present. Responsible. Open. Trustworthy. Connected.
Let's teach our children that it’s ok – in fact vital! – to feel. As we embody a new level of trust and resilience, we become the guides we wish we’d had as children – and the parents we truly want to be.

“Vanessa has been the most intuitive and transformational coach I have ever worked with. She gently and effectively supported my journey from a stressed out no-time-for-herself mom to someone who can tap into my inner wisdom, connect on a deep level with my children and honestly communicate my needs with my partner and family. This work is extremely challenging, but Vanessa has given me the tools to work through my emotional resistance and truly live the life I want to lead.”

“What I appreciated most about working with Vanessa is that she was willing to say the hard things that other people in my life avoid. She offered a rare blend of empathy and kindness + fierce honesty that helped me finally start seeing myself more clearly. Vanessa held my hand through the process of coming home to myself and provided a safe container and helpful tools to start making real changes in my life. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
- Rebekah
Most of my life I’ve been lonely. I made up elaborate stories as to the reason for this loneliness, many of which boiled down to my being unlovable. Vanessa helped me to see that this fundamental belief is untrue. That instead, I’ve held people at a distance – held myself at a distance – perpetuating my self-deprecating beliefs. She’s helped me to see that the only limiting factor in my life… is me. I’ve started to make connections that formerly felt impossible. I’ve begun to do things I formerly thought myself incapable of. My family reaps the benefit of this openness ten-fold. With Vanessa’s help, I’m healing my own trauma… as well as my ancestral trauma. I’m filled with gratitude for the space that she holds.
