ABOUT

Conscious Parenting Coach

Meg O'Keeffe

  • Conscious Parenting Coach
  • Montessori Parenting Trainer
  • Certified Parent Coach Practitioner™
  • Mother of two

Meg has supported thousands of parents to see that the issues with their children come from their own expectations (I need you to be a certain way), judgements (you are either being 'good' or 'bad') and projections (I know what's best for you). 

During her 30 years as a teacher, Meg's insight and approach were regularly called upon by parents and teachers alike. Her way of being with kids made it look easy. She had an understanding that looked beyond the behavior on the surface. This helped kids feel understood and validated, which Meg teaches others to do easily.

For 12 years, Meg owned BeLoved, a Montessori School in West Linn, Oregon.

While teaching and managing the school, she also led parent coaching classes on a variety of topics, such as conscious discipline, peaceful morning routine's, sleep, intuitive toilet learning, children’s need for consistency and routine, creating a home environment fostering independence, and more, She also taught 70 of the 250 required credit hours of a Infant Toddler Montessori Teacher Training program. She now teaches parents Montessori Parenting methods.

Meg helps parents (and expecting parents) to see parenting as if they are looking into a mirror, freeing their child to be who they are meant to me instead of who they need them to be. Often parents discover their children are their greatest teachers to learn more about themselves via 1:1 Parent Coaching sessions.

Always learning and growing herself, in 2020 Meg completed the Conscious Parenting Method™ Certification Program with Dr. Shefali Tsabary, a clinical psychologist, New York Times best selling author, and author of three books. Dr. Shefali’s approach to parenting has been acclaimed by Oprah, Eckhart Tolle, and the Dalai Lama. Meg has been practicing a philosophy similar to The Conscious Parenting Method™ for years, and the training brought a new depth of wisdom that she now offers to her coaching clients.

Meg is endlessly grateful for her two grown daughters and never stops learning from them.

Her oldest has managed to travel to over 60 countries and genuinely loves spending time with mom.  Her youngest daughter is following in her mom’s footsteps and has 9 years of teaching experience. She aspires to support parents one day, as she embarks on her own parenting journey. On Mother’s Day, Meg gives her daughters cards saying, “I can’t believe I get to be your mom!” The love and connection she has with her daughters is an inspiration for helping other parents find their own authentic connection with their children.

My Seven Commitments 

 

1. I commit to the path of Wisdom - Each of us has our own wisdom inside of us and I will reflect inner wisdom so you are able to tap in and liberate yours.

2. I commit to the path of Awareness - Through daily contemplation, I become more self aware - being the watcher, watching the feeler, feeling the feelings.

3. I commit to the path of Acceptance - Accepting what is happening in life as it is with curiosity, “What is this here to teach me?”.

4. I commit to the path of being Thankful – For each moment as it is, creating the momentum for transformation to arise. Complete gratitude for Whom, Where, When, How and Why.

5. I commit to a path of Cause and Effect – We are the co-creators of our own life and I am responsible for and participate in absolutely everything that happens.

6. I commit to a path of Compassion – First having compassion for myself is the only way to have true compassion for others.

7. I commit to a path of Oneness - Others are no different than me, no better, no worse. All of us are on a journey to wholeness. Judging others keeps us separate, constricted and in fear. I see others as a reflection (a mirror) for myself.
