Coaching
As a parenting coach, I help parents of teens and young adults improve their relationship with their kids so they can have greater joy and peace of mind.
The teen and early adult years can be incredibly angsty and painful. But they don't have to be! There is so much you as a parent can do to increase your communication and enjoyment with your kid. You don't have to do it alone.
What you’ll get from working with me: greater peace of mind, practical tools for navigating bumps in the road, enhanced self confidence in complex interactions, and greater self regard and self respect by approaching your relationship with your kid in a way that aligns with your values. Feel great about yourself as a parent!​
​
​In coaching, we'll explore what you've been doing and experiencing, what you want to be doing and experiencing instead, and how specifically to get there to meet your goals as a parent.

COACHING TESTIMONIALS
​
"Our sessions with Ruchi were deeply valuable. She guided our time well and provided such thoughtful and professional understanding and guidance. We learned so much, and it really made a practical difference for us. Ruchi helped completely shift our mindset about what was happening and what we were trying to accomplish as parents. We will definitely take her guidance forward with us as we continue on our parenting journey."
"Ruchi is a wise, thoughtful, engaging, experienced coach who greatly helped me more effectively communicate and resolve parenting challenges. Any parent would be fortunate to work with and learn from her!"
Through Ruchi’s coaching I was given the gift of clarity, not just on what we were working through, but also on how to take meaningful steps to improve my relationship with my daughter. Ruchi has a very real and calming approach that gives room for growth without judgment. It’s nice to have some grounding on this journey.

My husband and I worked with Ruchi to help us navigate parenting and to support our relationship which was impacted by our daughter going through a difficult stage. Ruchi’s compassion and direction were comforting, validating yet directive and helped to give us the confidence for how to handle difficult parenting situations. I found working with Ruchi far more effective than working with a therapist (who often provides empathy and asks questions) because we were looking for concrete direction and feedback, and would for sure reach out to her again!

I have just completed a three month coaching program with Ruchi. It was a life-changing and transformative experience. She heard me, supported me, and gave me 100% of her focus during our sessions. She helped me change my mindset, which was not a simple or easy task for me as it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks! She provided me with mantras, strategies and life lessons which helped me achieve my goals. I am a calmer and less judgmental person, and have improved my primary relationship and other relationships significantly. It was the best money I have ever spent. I am beyond grateful our paths crossed a few years ago on an Israel trip.
