Owner/Creator of Sustainable Parenting
Flora McCormick
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor & Parenting Coach of 12 years, and mother of 2 young children, I saw a gap, where struggling parents are left feeling alone, confused & overwhelmed (I felt that way too!).
I saw a great need for a system that effectively wraps around parents - giving support, validation & education that is DOABLE & EFFECTIVE in a fast-paced life.
Parent coaching is the newest state-of-the-art approach to improving family dynamics & relationships. Counseling often requires leaving your home, taking your child out of school, and only supports you 1 hour/wk.
Parent Coaching is 100% virtual, with evening and morning coaching
“Some people take tennis or violin lessons. I take parenting lessons….The value I get from it is priceless.” – Parents.com
How much of a time commitment is it?
On average – it’s an investment of 2 hours/week, with a ton of flexibility for when you fit those 2 hours in.
This program offers 1:1 Coaching, Group coaching and self-paced learning, so that it can be customized to fit each family’s schedule.
What if my partner doesn't want to do it?
Those that are able to have their partner involved enjoy the benefits of improving teamwork and parenting on the same page. However families where just 1 person completes the mentorship have still seen dramatic changes.
Who is this NOT right for?
The Sustainable Parenting Mentorships are NOT best if you are seeking support for:
Abuse, Neglect, drug/alcohol abuse in the home.
Children over Age 12.
Do you offer a guarantee?
When you step into this support, you are taking full responsibility for your own success, by committing to attend coaching, and listen to recordings and lessons.
After surveying 100’s of families who have completed the mentorship programs – Sustainable Parenting has a 96% satisfaction rating from all clients!
What if I have more questions?

She offers this call to be sure to learn more about your family, answer any questions you have, and recommend other modes of support if those seem appropriate, based on her 12 years of clinical experience and training.
