Brighter Bond Parent Coaching
Empowering Your Parenting Journey
Supporting parents toward confidence, compassion and connection with their children
Meet Jennifer Barton – Certified Parent Coach
​Welcome. I am Jennifer Barton, a certified parent coach through Anu Family Services with ten years of professional experience teaching in a preschool setting and more than 26 years of real-life parenting. I have walked through the many joys and challenges of raising children with a wide range of developmental and diverse needs. I understand that parenting does not come with a manual, and no two families are the same.
​
My passion for supporting parents is deeply rooted in both my personal journey and professional work with children and families. I approach every parent and child with empathy, patience, and a strong belief in the power of connection. I am here to walk alongside you, offering practical tools, personalized guidance, and honest encouragement to help you feel more confident and connected.
​
When I am not coaching, you will find me enjoying family time, playing with my dogs, walking with friends, reading a good book, or soaking up sunshine whenever I can. I believe in finding joy in everyday life and I bring that same spirit into every session.
​
Parenting does not come with a manual - but with the right support, you do not have to do it alone. I am here to help.

Virtual One-on-One Coaching
Parenting doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why my virtual one-on-one coaching is tailored specifically to your family. In these private sessions, we’ll explore your unique parenting journey, growth areas and objectives. Whether you're managing the ups and downs of daily life or seeking to strengthen your relationship with your child. Together, we’ll create realistic, effective strategies that align with your family's values and rhythms. With flexible scheduling and the convenience of meeting from home, you’ll get personalized support, clear guidance, and a trusted partner on your parenting journey.
Workshops
My workshops offer a welcoming, interactive, and non-judgmental space for parents to come together, learn, and grow. Each session focuses on practical, real-life parenting topics like regulating emotions, building routines (morning, bedtime, etc.), smoother transitions (daily or new experiences) and any topics that interests you as parents. You’ll gain valuable insights, easy-to-implement tools, and the chance to connect with other parents who are on a similar path. Whether you're attending a single session or a full series, you'll leave feeling more empowered, informed, and supported in your parenting role.
Ongoing Support
Parenting is a journey, not a one-time event. That is why I offer ongoing support to help you stay grounded, encouraged, and informed every step of the way. Through regular check-ins, email follow-ups, and access to helpful resources, I will be there to celebrate your wins, talk through challenges, and support you as your family's needs evolve. You are not in this alone—and I am here for the long haul.
