I don't wanna say your household is bland...but I don't detect too much heat at this point!

Your child is a pretty easy-going human (most of the time) who’s comfortable with transitions. They allow you to be the leader even if you don’t always know what you are doing.

And it seems like you’re pretty chill yourself!

I’m Mary Van Geffen, and I’d love to help you grow your connection with your child.

Since 2011, I’ve worked with more than one thousand parents to help transform how they show up for their kids — and themselves.

I’m all about helping you practice the foundational parenting disciplines of staying calm, kind, and firm with your kids.

Many parents — even chill ones — struggle to keep cool in tough situations. Most of us weren’t taught how to regulate our emotions under stress growing up.

Why does staying calm matter as a parent?

The cold, hard truth is that all parenting techniques and scripts are useless if the adult using them is dysregulated, angry, and scary.

I can help you become the calmest person in the room.

I’m proof it’s a skill that can be learned. Thousands of parents have taken my course and learned, too!

In this 90-minute class, I’ll help you:

  • shift your thinking to better prepare for conflict and triggers

  • rehearse physical practices to regulate your nervous system

  • design the exact steps you’ll take to ground yourself

You can become the peaceful presence your child needs in the midst of chaos, defiance, and uncontrollable emotions.

“Such useful tools! The Gentle Parenting space feels so lonely — so few people acknowledge how effing hard it is to stay calm and be the “Mother Teresa” parent they model online. Mary feels much more real…she acknowledges the messiness of it all.”
