About Sheila Wenger

Sheila Wenger is certified through the graduate program of the Parent Coaching Institute at Seattle Pacific University, where she is also an adjunct professor. This, along with her Masters Degree in Education from Lewis and Clark College and undergraduate training from the University of Portland provides her with a wealth of research and knowledge necessary for assisting parents in understanding the developmental needs of their children.

With sixteen years experience working with children and parents, Sheila can quickly and effectively hone in on parents' strengths and illuminate their blind spots to reduce their worry, build stronger relationships, and create true peace of mind.

Since starting her coaching practice in 2009, Sheila has helped many families across the country align their lives with their deepest core values, implement effective discipline strategies, establish healthy sleep habits for infants, and stay informed on the many important issues confronting parents today. One of the greatest gifts she provides for her clients is time—by staying abreast of parenting literature and research studies, she can save them hours they would spend reading and researching. She knows firsthand how effectively the coaching relationship empowers parents to create phenomenal families.

Sheila lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband and boy/girl twins. She enjoys running as well as taking bike rides, hiking, and playing games with her family.

 

What Parents Are Saying ...

"When I became a mother I was sure I wanted to be a good parent, but I wasn't so sure how to go about becoming one. I read a lot of books and had some great ideas, but I struggled with implementing the "right" method consistently. The first time I spoke with Sheila I walked away with new knowledge and confidence that I put to use immediately. It made an instant difference! Sheila never told us what to do or how to do it. Instead, she empowered us to choose based on our long term goals for our son and our family. Sheila used a powerful method to help us clarify the values we want to instill in our son and helped us to understand the strengths and weaknesses we each bring to our parenting. This gave us clear, confident unity in our parenting and decision making. We now have a foundation on which we can base all our future parenting decisions - what a gift!

Sheila has had a profound effect on me as a person and as a parent. My work with her has had an instant and dramatic effect on our son and our family life. We enjoy our time together more, we have far fewer battles, meal times are happier, and we are parenting from a place of confidence and knowing, rather than fear or happenstance. I can't imagine a better parent partner! And, Sheila, I can't thank you enough."
