Empowering You

Welcome to Sahā Parent Coaching. I am Daphne McCorkle, a former educator and full-time parent coach.

​

The Sanskrit word sahā (सह) has multiple meanings, including "together," "enduring," "patient," "able," "vanquishing," and "equal to"

​

These meanings are similar to the foundations for the work I teach parents, caregivers, and others who wish to improve or learn more about creating strong bonds with children. Together, we can make that happen.

​

As a former Early Childhood Educator and mother of a child with strong feelings and sensory issues, I have encountered countless parenting situations. Having taught children for 12 years and focused on child development degrees,  courses, and certifications, I have strived to be curious and respectful of children and how they view their surroundings.  

​

I am also focused on emotional regulation and practical communication skills. In 2013, I became certified in utilizing Nonviolent Communication. After practicing this type of communication, I was delighted to find the Jai Institute for Parenting. This institute uses the same materials and knowledge to help coaches, families, educators, and anyone who wishes to make powerful and impactful parenting efforts or meaningful connections with children. 

​

The tools that I learned not only support families and people in need but have been helpful for my own family life as I struggled with significant life changes like divorce and cancer. If I could help my child through a difficult time and have them feel seen, supported, and heard, I want all parents, caregivers, educators, and people in the community to have these tools to implement in their lives and their children's.

​

I aim to show my clients that they can be in meaningful, calm, and respectful relationships with their children, find solutions to power struggles, and have adults feel comfortable and empowered in their parenting or relationships with children.
