Coaching
I offer coaching sessions virtually on Zoom, or locally in person outdoors in West Marin’s wilderness.
I coach clients once a week for a minimum of three months. This allows for a solid container to really dive in and do some deep work together.
Coaching can include:
Temperament Assessments (for both children and parents). A person’s temperament is the natural way they move in the world and respond to people, the environment, and ideas or requests. Understanding temperament helps in building healthy relationships with the children and family members in your life. A temperament assessment will help you understand your child’s unique style and behavior and how it interacts with your own temperament traits.
Strategic coaching for behavior challenges specifically with “spirited” children. Perfect for the “I’ve tried everything and nothing is working” scenarios.
Nature Art Experiences - these are ideal for marking a parenting rite of passage, a big event in your life, or a new chapter (more info on this in the “Art” tab).
Cost: Coaching is $200 per one hour session.

Creative Project Consulting
I offer sessions where I consult with you on a creative project that you’d like to birth into being!
This is for the times when you need some extra hand holding or focused attention on you or what you’re up to in order to take it to that next level, but aren’t wanting the longer arc of an ongoing coaching relationship. This is shorter and more project specific.
Together we can dust off the little gems inside of you, polish them, and offer them up to the world. Sometimes all it takes is someone to patiently sit with you, see your creative brilliance, and hold space for you while you steward yourself back to your beat.
It is possible to revive, revamp. reinvent.
It is possible to have the muse of inspiration visit you again.
It is possible to breathe life into those creative ideas that have been waiting quietly in the wings until you had more time, more inspiration, more of…something! Perhaps now is the moment!
This could be in person or virtual, your choice. I’m all yours to brainstorm, create, and make it happen!
Cost: Consulting is $300 for 90 minutes of laser focused attention on pushing your project(s) forward.
Consulting
My approach
If you are feeling alone in the challenges of parenthood…
If you are exhausted and overwhelmed by your spirited child…
If you long for a village for yourself and your kids and don’t have one but want to build one and aren’t sure where to begin…
If you are struggling with your kid’s behavior and feel like you’ve tried everything and don’t know what to do…
If you would rather have deep moments of connection with your kid than a tidied up home…
If you crave to build a deeply connected relationship with your children and you’re willing to prioritize that connection over your to-do list, as compelling as checking those boxes can be…
If you have a sense that I could be a good person to support you along the way…
Let’s chat! I offer a free 30 min chat to anyone who is interested in coaching.
I am an imperfect parent and I don’t claim to have it all figured out. My house is often messy, and I have moments getting in and out of the car with the kids everyday that I’m not proud of.
I am a work in progress as we all are, and I approach coaching as a thought partner, a fellow parent, and someone with a purpose devoted to the health and well being of the relationship systems between parents and their children.
My approach to coaching is that I come as a human and I bring my realness, my gifts in connection and in understanding people, my clear seeing of relational systems, and my open heart and infinite compassion for the parenthood journey.
I don’t love the “expert” model. Or a top-down hierarchical model. Coaching is very different than teaching. I believe in your knowing and if we work together, I will always do my best as a coach to guide you toward what you believe is true and right for you and your family.
Kind words…
“Lani Yadegar is BRILLIANT. I have a daughter who's 6 and a son who's 3, and my marriage has been very challenged by parenthood. Lani is incisive, asks excellent questions, and helps guide me to the root cause of the issue. She gives me clear and helpful 'homework' assignments, and then follows up on them. She ends our sessions by inviting me to 'harvest' my insights, so that there's learning and growth. She draws from a wealth of personal and professional experience in relationship counseling and parent coaching. Going further, she has us do our sessions outside, with the added power and wisdom of nature. If you're struggling with the monumental shift to parenthood, I can't recommend Lani more highly!”
