Support for moms of extra needs children.
Support for moms of extra needs children.
As a passionate life coach, Brave Parenting Journey Life Coach focuses on helping Moms with children on the Autism Spectrum, PANDAS/PANS, and all exhausted Moms. With years of experience, Brave Parenting Journey Life Coach Melissa understands the unique challenges you face and is committed to providing tailored support.
Hi, I’m Melissa, your Life Coach, former Children’s Social Worker, and mom of three (one with higher needs). I help moms move out of survival mode, drop the guilt, and finally feel good in their motherhood again.
But before I teach these tools to anyone else, I lived them myself.
I started my life coaching journey back in 2013, long before I fully understood how powerful this work would become in my own life. When my son was born in 2009, I stepped into full-time stay-at-home mom mode with six children at home. By 2016, it was becoming clear my youngest child had extra challenges and, at the time, undiagnosed PANDAS/PANs, as well as high-functioning autism. Motherhood felt like one long loop of exhaustion, overwhelm, and self-criticism.
Every night, I would lie in bed replaying all the ways I believed I had messed up.
All the moments I wasn’t patient enough.
All the ways I felt like I was failing.
I loved my kids deeply, but I didn’t love how I felt in my life.
Something had to change!
I finally decided to choose myself again. I wanted to feel better—not someday, not when the kids were older, not when life “calmed down.”
Right now.
I went back to my roots in life coaching, hired a coach who changed everything for me, and eventually pursued certification through The Life Coach School. As I learned tools to help struggling moms transform their lives, I found myself transforming too.
I didn’t just become a better mom.
I became myself again.
A calmer me.
A more grounded me.
A me who could show up for my kids without losing myself in the process.
As a former children’s social worker and a mom to three—including one with higher needs—I understand the emotional load that moms carry. The guilt, the fear, the pressure, the constant pouring out with very little pouring in.
I know what it feels like to:
• Wake up already overwhelmed
• Judge yourself for being human
• Wish you could slow down, but don't know how
• Feel like you’re losing yourself inside motherhood
And I also know what it feels like to rebuild.
My work is simple and deeply personal:
✨ Help moms feel better
✨ Release the guilt and shame
✨ Reconnect with themselves
✨ Create a motherhood that feels nourishing instead of draining
✨ Build emotional tools that last
This isn’t about being a perfect mom.
It’s about becoming a supported one.
You deserve to feel peaceful.
You deserve to feel proud.
You deserve to feel like yourself again.
If I can rewrite my story, you can rewrite yours.
If I can feel better, so can you.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Let me show you what’s possible.
I take a collaborative and solution-focused approach to coaching. By working together, we can identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a plan of action to help you achieve your own goals.
Because motherhood doesn’t come with breathing room.
Because you can’t heal what you never slow down long enough to notice.
Because the tools you learned to “get through the day” aren’t meant to be your forever.
Coaching offers a safe, structured space to explore your thoughts, release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying, and learn tools that actually help you feel better—even on the hard days.
It’s not about fixing you.
It’s about supporting you.
It’s about helping you reconnect with the version of yourself you’ve been missing.
I specialize in helping clients with stress management, time management, and self-care strategies. I also offer coaching for those going through significant life transitions, such as divorce and single parenting.
