Attuned

Parents

Hi, I’m Matthew Mannion, founder of Attuned Parents

The truth is that most parents are overwhelmed…and it’s no wonder! Parenting is one of the most important roles we’ll ever have, yet it comes with little to no training. Without support or tools, it’s easy to fall into patterns that — if we don’t address — get passed down from generation to generation.

At Attuned Parents, I support you in the real, everyday work of parenting, helping you build emotional awareness, address boundaries and disciplinary struggles, and find steady ground when things feel overwhelming. 

Through conscious parenting methods, I help you deepen the connection to your kids and the connection to yourself, creating stronger relationships and changing the whole family dynamic for the better.

My journey to becoming a parent coach

I’ve spent my entire career supporting children and families, first as a toddler and preschool teacher, then as a nanny for nearly a decade. Along the way, I began to notice a pattern. While kids needed consistency, connection, and co-regulation, many parents were overwhelmed and unsure how to provide it. 

As a remedy, I started creating simple, values-based plans to help caregivers and parents bring more structure and ease into their homes — and saw firsthand how that support made a difference.

As a parent myself, I’ve lived the occasionally messy, often exhausting reality of raising kids. I know what it’s like to feel talked over and totally drained by the end of the day. I reached a point where I knew something needed to shift — not just for my child, but for me too. I wanted to feel more grounded, more present, and more connected with both my partner/co-parent and my child.

Through the practice of attunement, I learned to set boundaries with compassion, bring playfulness to hard moments, and hold space for my own emotions, so that I could better support my child with theirs. As a family, we’ve experienced more peace, connection and flexibility in our home. If you’re desiring the same, I’d be honored to support you.

Why I started Attuned Parents

In 2023, I started Attuned Parents after becoming certified as a conscious parenting and life coach and completing training in Collaborative Problem Solving through Think:Kids. This work isn’t just professional for me — it’s a personal calling. I know what it feels like to want better for your family and I’ve seen how possible it is to create lasting change.

Today, in my role as a parenting coach, I support and guide parents to find curiosity, compassion, empathy, and play within themselves so they can, in turn, provide it to their kids. 

When you feel more at ease, your kids do too — and that’s when the real change starts. One moment at a time, you’re creating a more peaceful home and breaking the cycle for the next generation.

My approach as a parenting coach

We all deserved to feel seen, heard, and loved—not fixed.

As your parenting coach, I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore what’s feeling out of alignment and start making gentle, meaningful changes. I'm your accountability partner, helping you build motivation not from fear, guilt, or scarcity, but from a place of confidence, calm, and compassion. 

As the parent, you’re teaching your child how to relate to themselves, to family, to friends, and to authority. As your parenting coach, I support and guide you to build the respect, confidence, and independence you want for your child — while becoming the parent you want to be.

You are your child’s greatest teacher.

Let’s connect and see how I can support you and your family.

Attuned Parents offers parent coaching, groups, and workshops to help caregivers build emotional awareness, strengthen relationships, and develop self-regulation skills. I provide practical tools and reflective support tailored to each family’s values, helping them navigate parenting with greater clarity and connection.

Stronger communities create better parents

Parenting doesn’t happen in a vacuum. My vision at Attuned Parents is to co-create a supportive community for parents that’s grounded in honesty, vulnerability, and emotional and intellectual growth.

Because the truth is, parents model relationships for their kids. When we prioritize connection, we show our kids what it means to belong. That’s why I’m passionate about expanding beyond the traditional nuclear family model and reimagining the “village” we so often say it takes to raise a child.
