Heart Centred Parenting and Teaching

About Us

Kylie Johnston is a Certified Parent Coach and Teacher Coach, who lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband Rhys and their three children (two of whom are neuro diverse – One with Aspergers and one with Dyslexia). She helps parents and teachers all over the world to gain a deep connection with the children in their lives. Kylie is incredibly compassionate and empathetic. She has a deep understanding of the struggles some parents and teachers face and has a natural ability to truly hear the needs of a child, helping parents and teachers to support children and their own resilience.

Working Together

Working with parents and teachers directly, so that they can coach the children in their lives to gain better emotional regulation, less anxiety and an overall calmer, more harmonious home life/classroom.

Through the 10 week coaching programme parents gain an understanding of their children and how to nurture them to thrive.

During the 6 week coaching programme teachers are supported in the classroom with students who learn outside the bell curve, how to remain clam among the storm, how to introduce mindfulness into the classroom without adding more to the ‘to do’ list.

Physical environment

We work either 1:1, in group coaching, via online courses or in speaking workshops/seminars.

Unless Kylie is at an event, she is in her office speaking to you via Zoom, (an online platform) this means calls are recorded and you can listen to them whenever you like. Or you can work at your own speed through the online courses.

Atmosphere

Children feel understood, truly heard and valued. Parents feel like they are less in the trenches and more parenting alongside their children, they see the joy in parenting again. Teachers are helped to find their joy and passion in teaching again.

Kylie looks forward to working alongside you to become the most compassionate parents/teachers you can be.

“Our house is a much calmer place; we both feel better connected to our kids, more aligned with each other, and generally better equipped to deal with the ups and downs of parenting. Kylie was really insightful, while also challenging us and supporting us along the way. We cannot recommend Kylie and the Becoming a Compassionate Parent course enough.”

“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Kylie as our parenting coach. She has a wonderful natural ability to interpret our complicated family dynamics and come up with practical solutions for us to move towards a more positive, conscious style of parenting. The holistic approach she takes, working through all the experiences that have led us to this point in our journey, has been enlightening and positive for us in so many aspects of life, not just parenting. There has been a huge amount of learning around how to create connection in our family, and now when we face frustrations we have fantastic tools to work through in a way that encourages that connection. The benefits are also evident in our relationship as husband and wife, as we learn the best way to communicate with one another, and have some perspective on why we react the way we do at times! We can’t recommend Kylie enough, her intuitive and gentle style of coaching has been an enormous blessing to our family, and we are looking forward to continuing our parenting and family journey of growth alongside her.”

“Parenting nowadays can be confusing and exhausting, even when you feel you are doing okay there’s very little support out there for you as a parent whatever age or development stage your child/children are currently at.

Is there a better way to get out the door in the morning? Am I okay at this? Why is my child behaving in this way? That’s where Kylie and Heart Centred Parenting comes in, through her 10-week coaching course tailored to your unique needs and circumstances, you will learn a new way of parenting and way of being with your children that is incredibly positive and transformational. Kylie’s compassionate and nurturing style will allow you to gain new insights about yourself and your relationships with your child/children. We’ve found the 10-week course has led to subtle but powerful shifts in, not only how we parent, but also how we communicate with each other and within our work places and wider networks. It has led to deeper, more loving connections with our children and with each other. 10-weeks is not a huge investment for a job as important and rewarding as being the best parent you can be. Make this investment in your children, your family and most of all your-self – we’ve discovered a much more relaxed, tranquil and fun-filled family life has come out of doing this course. We completely and whole-heartedly recommend Kylie and the Heart Centred parenting courses to you.”
