Each workshop is built around a specific stage of your child's development — not because the milestones are the point, but because the challenges are different at every age, and so is the support you need. What does not change is the through line: staying connected, through all of it.
Each workshop meets you in the reality of your child's current stage. Not theory. Lived experience, grounded in science, facilitated by a clinician with twenty-five years of pediatric expertise and her own reckoning with this exact terrain.
You will feel different in your body by the end of the first session. That shift — not the information — is what changes how you show up with your child.
Sessions run live on Zoom. Two hours each, with open Q&A. I am there, every week, in the room with you. This is not pre-recorded content. This is clinical contact.
After each workshop closes, you keep access to the cohort community and all materials for one year — and you may repeat the workshop the next time it runs.
The early months of infancy are a neurological event — for your baby, whose brain is developing at a rate it will never again match, and for you, whose nervous system is responding to sleep deprivation, identity rupture, hormonal upheaval, and the relentless demand of a human being who needs everything from you, all the time.
Your nervous system and your baby's are in constant conversation. The way you regulate — or cannot — shapes the environment your infant's brain is developing inside. This is not a judgment. This is developmental neuroscience.
This workshop gives you the tools to find your ground inside the hardest moments — not after them. So you can be present with your baby in the way you both need. So the delight, which is real and waiting, has room to surface.
This is the founding cohort. This rate will not be offered again.
The toddler who says no is not defying you. They are discovering that they are a separate person — with their own will, their own preferences, their own enormous feelings — and they have exactly one word for all of it.
This workshop is for the parent who loves their toddler completely and is also losing their mind. Who knows the boundary-setting advice and cannot make it work in the moment when everything is loud and nothing is landing. Who wants to stay connected to this small, fierce person without losing themselves in the process.
Join the waitlist. This cohort runs after the Infancy workshop closes — fall 2025.
The preschool child is doing two things at once that feel contradictory: pushing away and reaching back. Testing the edges of independence while needing to know, in every moment, that connection is still there.
This workshop is for the parent navigating that minefield — who wants to honor their child's growing autonomy without losing the closeness that makes everything else possible. Who knows that connection is not the reward for good behavior. It is the ground everything else grows from.
Join the waitlist. This cohort follows the Toddler workshop — fall 2025.
When the Workshop ends, you do not lose access to the community you built inside it. Your cohort stays with you — a group of parents who moved through the same season, did the same work, and understand where you are in a way that most people in your life cannot.
Dr. Frances remains present in the community throughout your year. The monthly live Zoom continues. Questions get answered. The practice deepens. The relationship — with the work, with the framework, and with the parents alongside you — has room to grow.
At eleven months, you will receive a quiet note about renewal. No pressure. No urgency. Just an open door for those who want to stay.
"Each stage brings different challenges. The work is always the same — staying connected, through all of it."
"Her baby doesn't need her to be perfect. Just present."
