Happy Heart Parenting Claimed

Happy Heart Parenting in Maple Ridge, British Columbia

I have had the privilege of working with autistic children and their families for over 20 years across Canada, England, Romania, and Italy. I hold an M.Sc. and continuously pursue ongoing education to provide the best possible support for children with autism and their families. My approach is rooted in strength-based teaching to empower children and bring them joy.

In 2017, after becoming a parent myself, I experienced firsthand the challenges of parenting, including the mental load, exhaustion, and postpartum anxiety. This personal journey shifted my focus to providing parental support within my practice. Happy Heart Parenting was created with the mission of offering programs and services that support both parents and their children.

Programs:

• Rapid Access Support Program: Designed for parents with a child on the waitlist for an autism assessment, providing immediate support and guidance.
• Deep Dive to Thrive as an Autism Parent Program: A comprehensive one-year program offering training, resources, strategies, and skills labs to help parents navigate the challenges of raising a child with autism.

Resources:

• The Autism Connection Toolkit: A 7-day program offering strategies to help your child build genuine connections.

How We Got Started:

Parenting can be a whirlwind. While reflecting on what matters most, I envisioned a happy heart and a full cup. Though parenting has its challenges (like the “threenager” phase), the joy of those precious moments with your child makes it all worthwhile. At Happy Heart Parenting, we are here to help you through the chaotic moments and provide support on your parenting journey, so you can cherish the joyful, heart-filled times with your children.
