Meet Mary 

Hi I am Mary Dravis-Parrish and I am on a mission! I am on a mission to take parents out of the classic mold that has been used to raise kids for centuries. I want to empower parents to be able to use their own unique way of being to parent their children.

My first step in this mission is to let parents know that it is okay to step out of the mold, especially if it isn't working. The traditional mold that has been passed down is more about keeping kids and parents in a box of judgment and expectations rather than allowing both to bloom into the awesome beings they came here to be.

Many parents are doing their best to try to meet and understand their kids, and yet still feel frustrated, confused and even angry that they aren't getting the results that they expected.

I know I was there and I did all the things that the experts, our society, school systems and culture dictated. None of it helped me to know my children as well as I would have liked. None of it helped me to know what I was bringing to these relationships and how I was helping or hurting my kids through  my own judgments, conclusions and expectations. 

I had been searching to be an empowered parent and I have finally found the keys that take parents out of the box and into freedom and joy of parenting. I want this for more parents so that they too can experience true bliss, harmony and confidence as they raise our future generations. 

More about Mary...

Families today are not just traditional families but they now include single parents, parents of the same gender, as well as grandparents raising grandchildren.

I believe that regardless of the structure of a family, families can thrive, be happy and successful in today's world. I know that the world will be a much better place when family life focuses on empowering parents and kids to be the unique caring beings they are meant to be.

​ I provide simple strategies and techniques that allow each family to raise happy children that feel confident stepping into their unique gifts and talents to offer to the world.  It is my joy to utilize my own learning and teaching experience along with my natural talent for getting to the root of what is causing distress, discord and dis-ease in family living. 

Being a child, living in a home of eight children, I discovered many styles of living, learning and coping, which lead me on a path to teaching children and working with parents to create more ease in family living. My own parenting experiences include being a teen parent, single parent, co-parent, step-parent and a  grieving parent after the suicide death of my 19 year-old son.  I do understand the varied needs, demands, and dynamics that parents experience.
