We specialize in connection, not perfection. Here you'll find products, services and classes to help you connect and heal in your family from the comfort of home.
Are you parenting a pre-teen or a teen? Need a little guidance and support to handle the ups and downs of this special time?
Teens and pre-teens can be a lot of fun. AND they can also require a lot of you in different ways than they did when they were younger. Consciously Parenting pre-teens and teens requires lots of breathing, lots of listening, lots of realizing it probably has nothing to do with you and everything to do with what's going on for your child. And recognizing when you've made it about you and taking the time and making the space for you to see what it's bringing up for you. When our kids enter into this growing time, it brings up our own experiences (for better or for worse) and creates an opportunity for us to heal together. <3 This online course with Facebook group and live Ask-Rebecca-Anything Calls will be focusing on understanding your preteen and teen, including basic brain development, strategies to help you stay connected as you grow together, and help for handling the inevitable ups and downs of parenting children as they become teens and young adults. You'll leave with a new way of looking at what you're seeing and tools to help your children stay connected to you while they're navigating the bumpy and sometimes messy road of adolescence.

Our products and services all focus on supporting you to create, nurture and heal connection in your family from the comfort of home. Why? Because we're parents, too, and we know you want your home life to feel good. (And we know what it feels like when it doesn't feel good!) We also get that your time is limited, so we've made our resources accessible (many are downloadable) and affordable. All our information is based on the latest research in attachment, epigenetics, brain science, sociology, trauma, pre and perinatal psychology. We've read the research so you don't have to. We provide the tools, support, and inspiration to help you find your own way.
Now in our 15th year of supporting families around the globe, we've become a name you can trust to help you find your way to stay connected in your family and heal. No one-size-fits-all approaches here. Each family is unique. Each person's story is unique. When you buy from us, you're supporting families, not a large corporation, and you're helping to change the world one family at a time. Many of our services are discounted and many of our resources are available for free so that everyone has access regardless of ability to pay. Because everyone needs support. Purchasing resources here helps us continue our work creating rich content and inspiring connection and peace in homes around the world.
Rebecca affirms that she truly understands where we are, and that makes it seem more attainable when we talk about where we want to be, or what we can accomplish. Also, having conversations about what works for OUR family, not an abstract idea of the perfect family, gets me to listen.”
Rebecca Thompson Hitt, MS, MFT
Holistic Marriage and Family Therapist
The Consciously Parenting Project, LLC., was born when Rebecca found herself really struggling to be the parent she wanted to be with her first born. Despite her masters in marriage and family therapy and degree in education, she wasn't sure how to create the family she wanted and heal those things she didn't do the way she wanted. As she found her own way through a series of people who pointed the way back to connection, she was inspired to create resources and offer support for others who would find themselves in similar places. We all want our families to feel good and we need to know how to create healing spaces when they're needed.
Consciously Parenting also has expanded to include passionate parents and professionals from around the globe who share the vision of support for families. Through the Consciously Parenting training program, we are working to expand our capacity to offer more qualified support for individuals and families around the world.
Rebecca is the mom of 2 boys, ages 18 and 23 and bonus mom to two grown young adults. She's messed up plenty of things in parenting, but is here to walk beside you as you find your own way. All our resources are created with this in mind. When Rebecca isn't supporting parents or creating parenting resources, you'll find her wandering through the mountains outside of Oaxaca, Mexico, eating amazing food, and planning adventures to visit the ocean with her family.
