Hi! 

My name is Kim Eisele, and I live with my husband and our 3 children in Germany. I have a masters degree in Business Administration and Intercultural Communication from the University of Mannheim, Germany. My family has roots in California, USA, so I offer my sessions in English and German.

As a mother of 3, I have often been in a place where parenting felt exhausting and frustrating. I found myself yelling, threatening, punishing and in power-struggles especially with my strong-willed child which only made things worse and left me feeling not good about myself as a mother.

While researching answers to my parenting challenges I found Dr. Laura Markham and her approach to parenting felt really intuitive to me. Instead of being reactive and responding to the “misbehavior”

I learned to be curious about the emotions that were driving the behavior in the first place which is so much more effective. 

I learned that children stopped escalating if they felt heard, safe and understood. I learned why we yell and how to not end up in “fight or flight mode” where we operate far away from all our good intentions.

I learned that empathy and connection can change any tough situation and are the key to have influence on your child in the long run.

I also learned that you can be empathic AND at the same time be a strong leader for your children who sets firm but kind limits. I learned so many things that helped me grow as a parent and as a person.
