A parent coach shaped by psychology, motherhood and 25 years of actual family life.
Katrin helps parents return to calm authority at home, not through scripts or performance, but through clarity, steadiness and a more adult-centred way of family life.
Private coaching in English, French, German and Italian.
Why this work is personal
Six children. Every season of parenthood. No illusions.
I am a mother of six, with children ranging from early childhood to young adulthood.
I know the sleepless years, the noisy years, the teenage years, the letting-go years, and the strange moments where you realise you have somehow misplaced yourself between school emails, socks, meals, emotions and everyone else’s needs.
My work is not built on a theory of family life from the outside.
It is shaped by having lived inside it.
What changed
Modern parenting asks too much of parents, and too little of children.
Modern parenting teaches parents that good parenting means being endlessly available, endlessly patient, endlessly responsive and endlessly careful.
Every feeling is urgent. Every boundary needs an explanation.
Every ordinary decision became something to negotiate. The intention was love.
But the result, for many families, is exhaustion.
Parents lose their footing. Children lose the feeling of being led. And family life starts to revolve around the child in a way that is neither sustainable nor particularly helpful for the child.
The child does not need to be the center of adult life to feel deeply loved.
How did you get here?
Modern parenting made the
child the centre.
Many intelligent, loving parents have been taught to treat every feeling as urgent, every preference as meaningful, every resistance as something to understand, and every boundary as something to justify.
The intention is loving, but the result is exhausting.
The adult life pauses. The child becomes the centre. The parent becomes careful, watchful and endlessly available.
A family rhythm that does not collapse around every mood or refusal.
Direction
Parents who know what they are deciding, instead of outsourcing confidence to the latest parenting trend.
Backbone
Boundaries held with warmth, without speeches, guilt or apology.
Professional grounding

How Katrin works
Direct enough to be useful. Warm enough to be trusted.
Katrin’s coaching is not about telling parents they are doing everything wrong.
It is also not about reassuring them so much that nothing changes.
She helps parents look clearly at what is happening, understand where they lost their footing, and find a steadier way to lead.
The work is individual, thoughtful and practical.
You bring the moment that keeps repeating. Katrin helps you see the pattern underneath it.
She listens carefully
Not to confirm the surface problem, but to understand the structure beneath it.
She speaks plainly
Because parents who are exhausted do not need more fog.
She keeps the adult role central
Because children feel safer when adults know where they stand.
She works with your real family
Not a theoretical child, not a perfect method, and not an imaginary home.
And just as importantly
I am not interested in perfect parenting.
I am interested in parents who can breathe again.
Parents who can say no without a dissertation.
Parents who can love their children deeply without handing them the steering wheel.
Parents who can have an adult life, a marriage, a thought, a cup of coffee, a moment of silence, without treating this as a failure of devotion.
That is the work.
Not perfection.
A steadier family.
Who this is for
For parents who are capable, loving and tired of circling the child.
Katrin works with parents who are not looking for drama, labels or another ten-step framework.
Katrin works with parents who are thoughtful, ambitious and deeply invested in their children.
They want their home to feel calmer.
And they want to stop feeling as if good parenting means giving up their own adult life.
