"One of the best investments I've ever  made."

Your course is one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself... and I’ve made a lot of investments.

Britta Ofori-Kuragu

We have been conditioned to believe that if we give our children's emotions attention, they will become needy or undisciplined.

We've been taught that focusing on feelings coddles children and leaves them vulnerable to the cruelties of the “real world.”

The truth is the conscious parenting model shows us how to nurture empathy, creativity, self-discipline, and intuition in our children so that they grow into independent, socially competent, flexible adults who feel a sense of purpose and motivation in their lives.

There is a distinct and growing body of research to support emotionally intelligent discipline rooted in attachment. We can change the future of our world by raising children who feel valued, connected, and learn to problem-solve cooperatively.

"Transformative, powerful, and nothing short of amazing."

Thanks to Lori and the TEACH model, I have learned the tools I needed to shift my parenting from unconscious to conscious, from "power-over" to "relationship with." As a teacher, these tools have also allowed me to support the shift in others. In September 2012, I opened the first Teach Through Love-inspired school, Downtown Community School. My journey has been transformative, powerful, and nothing short of amazing. This is how we change the world!

Anything is possible when you follow your dream of helping others!

Changing hardwired patterns of thinking and promoting the principles of conscious parenting and communication takes a village! Together, we can show parents how much more peaceful life can be when we let go of control and punitive consequences and embrace compassion.

The program is structured to walk you through the EXACT SAME process you'll facilitate for parents.

Deepening your understanding of the root causes of behavior and the emotional needs of children, you can lead other families through the course to make long-lasting changes in their homes.



In this online, trauma-sensitive program, you'll explore:



  • The science behind behavior + relationships.
  • Child development + how to work with the stages.
  • Conscious communication strategies.
  • Steps to increase emotional regulation.
  • Mindful practices crucial to raising responsible, respectful children.

You'll embark on a journey of healing old wounds so you can practice the core values of empathy and compassion in your relationships and help others apply them to their parenting.

This course has changed so many of my beliefs about what our responsibility to children is, and it feels so right. Lori is a passionate teacher and always finds the time for any question or concern. The curriculum is so well thought out and interactive. I am also learning so much from the others in my class. I cannot wait to share this way of being with other parents.

"It all started to become easier."

 When my daughter was born. I didn't know how to handle myself. I was scared, so I started looking for books and trainings and many different things that could help me. I got to another program, and I trained as a parent educator. But still, I felt that something was missing because I was using the tools but still feeling the anger. I didn't know why. I found your class, and it all started to change, and it all started to become easier.
