Conscious Family Team
Parenting with Purpose, Presence and Peace
The Conscious Family Team is a team of professionals in York Region who support, guide and aid those who want to do their best each day to love, cherish and respect their children, and who want to learn and grow from their roles.
Giving birth and raising a family consciously used to be a matter of instinct. We trusted our bodies and our feelings to do the right thing. We learned from our families, and our communities how to care for and raise our children, and we just knew it would be okay. We had the support of those close to us - the village helped us to raise our children. There was no internet, no 24-hour medical centers or helplines, and no bookshelf stocked with 50 or so of the latest advice books from “the experts”, usually celebrities. Mum was at home during the day to lend a hand with the washing, or your neighbour would pop by with a casserole when times were tough.
These days, we are lucky to know our neighbour’s first name. And if we need advice, we’re more likely to consult Google than our brother or sister. The village is truly gone.
Here with the Conscious Family Team, we want to bring the good days back by being your village and helping your village grow.
We believe that in order to accomplish these tasks, parenting must be a conscious endeavor, meaning that we are willing to examine ourselves, our background, beliefs, motivations, behaviors, and how these aspects affect the way we parent. Let’s find the positives in the way we were parented, recognize the lessons we learned and empower ourselves to trust our own intuition and emerge as the parents we want to be.
Decisions made prior to conception, during pregnancy and in baby’s first year of life provide the
foundation for the creation of a conscious family. After attending this series, you will be inspired to take initiative to choose the style of caring for yourself and your infant that resonates with you and you’ll be connected to the tangible tools and resources to support you on your journey.
