Let me help you become the parent you want to be through parent coaching!

Hi! I’m Iris Chen, parent coach, unschooling mama, and author of Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent. I have been where you are, desperately wanting to let go of power-over strategies in my relationship with my children but at a loss as to how to start. How I wish I had had someone to coach and support me in my untigering shift!

Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. If you are looking for personalized guidance and encouragement to heal and create more trust, connection and peace in your family, I would love to support you through my 1:1 coaching.

I seek to provide perspectives and practices that are rooted in decolonization, anti-oppression, and collective liberation.

Clients I especially love working with include:

  • Asian parents who want culturally-sensitive insight & understanding
  • Highly sensitive parents or parents of highly sensitive children
  • Unschooling parents or those exploring self-directed learning

I am located in California (Pacific Time Zone) but am available to see clients from all around the world. Parent coaching sessions are about 1 hour long and take place on Zoom.

Some parents want just a session or two to help with a specific parenting or unschooling issue. Others want ongoing appointments to help them along on their journey. You can sign up for 1 session, a 6-session bundle at a discount, or an intensive 12 week program that includes:

"Iris helped me unpack years of compartmentalized misconceptions I was holding toward parenthood, family life, and myself. I got to know myself better and in turn feel equipped to be a more aligned version of myself. This will help not only serve me in my role as a mom, also as myself in community with others beyond my own home. The empathy and compassion that Iris held for me along the way is something I can now more freely offer myself."
Annie F.
"I think everyone who is on a journey of peaceful parenting (no matter where you are on the journey) should have a parenting coach like Iris! She was extremely skilled in her ability to meet me where I was at, and explore and guide me in a safe, nonjudgmental way. She helped me start to create new patterns of thinking, have more compassion for myself, and have more confidence in my process. She helped me to see more clearly how to both respect my kids AND myself. I feel much more empowered to continue on this journey after having spent these past 12 weeks with Iris."

I am not a licensed medical professional and Untigering Parent Coaching is not therapy. While coaching can supplement therapy or precede it, it is not meant to be a replacement. Instead, coaching is an educational resource for you—the parent—and the scope of the sessions will focus on your role as a parent. I will not be treating, coaching, or diagnosing your child directly.
