At Parenting Works, our mission is to empower parents and caregivers with compassionate, practical strategies that reduce overwhelm and build stronger family connections. We believe every family deserves tools that honor both the child’s development and the parent’s well-being. Through personalized coaching, interactive workshops, and community partnerships, we guide families toward calmer routines, resilient relationships, and a deeper sense of confidence in parenting.
Parent education is a service that empowers you with the tools to help you have more capacity for parenting. Through in-person classes, virtual workshops, and personalized coaching, you get the concrete skills you need (and the support necessary to master them) to make real changes in your parenting--experiencing less stress as well as increased effectiveness and enjoyment.
Parents and professionals can enhance their understanding of how neuroscience and attachment directly impact development and behavior while learning to set limits effectively, foster emotional intelligence and life skills, and use play therapeutically. Whatever parenting concern brings you here, I can help!
Many parents reach out and say, "I read this great book/listened to this inspiring podcast, but I still can't seem to do something different in the heat of the moment!" We live in an age where there are lots of resources for parents (many of which I actually recommend), but there is a big difference when you are working with a skilled parenting coach. An obvious benefit is that tools and support are tailored specifically to the unique needs of your family. The principal benefit, however, is that you learn how to identify and heal the attachment wounds and triggers you brought to parenthood so you can parent in the present rather than from the past.
Sheena Hill is a Responsive Parenting and Holistic Sleep Coach. She is a passionate advocate for children, families, development, attachment, and trauma. She is honored to have worked with families for almost 20 years. Sheena holds masters degrees in Social Work and Education and trainings/certifications in SPACE, Neuroscience, Strengthening Families Program, The Nurturing Parenting Program, Hand in Hand Parenting, Child Passenger Safety, and babyproofing.
After nearly a decade in the non-profit world, Sheena made the shift to private practice in order to begin homeschooling. She is honored to help parents across the world over the past few years. Thank you for trusting Sheena with your most precious cargo--your family!
Sheena is committed to methods that build on your existing strengths and enhance the relationships in your family. Sheena's work is deeply rooted in attachment theory* and informed by neuroscience and trauma-informed research because she recognize that focusing on child development is the key to understanding and reaching children.
Through this developmental approach (instead of a behavioral one), Sheena help families identify the root cause of undesired behavior. Understanding the essential needs and skills underneath helps better address concerns in ways that cultivate relational safety and authenticity. This lens enables the most productive and sustainable growth for both children and parents because it anchors all tools in the inherent goodness and wholeness of children (and parents) and their capacity to learn and meet (or exceed) expectations when they have the tools and support to do so.
*Not necessarily attachment parenting, which can often feel like a list of things to do rather than a route to secure attachment.
