Hello there, I’m Jami Kirkbride…

Friend, I remember the struggle…

Trying to manage the chaos of parenting an emotionally intense, highly-sensitive, neurodivergent child while keeping some resemblance of peace in our home.

I longed for calm, but it often felt like we were living with a ticking time bomb.

Struggling with meltdowns, emotional dysregulation, and challenging behaviors was our overwhelming issue, but I didn’t know how to handle that level of intensity. It was so different from what we’d experienced with our other kids. And even as a mental health professional, it was a challenge.

After intense research, countless prayers, sleepless nights, and working with numerous therapists and professionals, God helped us find strategies that finally made a difference.

We discovered a better way…

We discovered strategies built on understanding and connection instead of constant conflict and correction.

What started as a desperate search for help became a proven, heart-centered approach that completely transformed our parenting and family.

Now, our home is calmer. Our relationships are stronger.

And through my creation of the Calm Connection Coaching Program, I’m living out part of the purpose of that struggle. I’m helping other parents walk the same path we did, recreating the steps that helped our family move from chaos to calm, so they, too, can find the peace, joy, and connection they’re longing for.

Let’s start your journey toward calm, confident, connected parenting… together.

Cheering you on… Jami
