Hi! My name is Adrienne Crenshaw. I am a certified Parent Support Specialist based in Perthshire, Scotland. I am trained through the Jai Institute for Parenting, with additional certification in Early Years Neuroscience.

My job as a Parent Support Specialist (sometimes called a coach, if that doesn’t sound too “clipboard and whistle” for you) is to support you on your individual parenting journey. Through guided study and one-to-one sessions, we work together to shed unwanted patterns and mindsets, relieve stress, and build sincere curiosity, connection, and compassion for you and your child.

As a mother of two, I am deeply passionate about my work and highly aware of its impact and importance. At the same time, I am incredibly aware of how challenging it is to uphold your ideals as a parent in the face of daily life. Parenting is perhaps the most profoundly clear mirror we ever face, and because of this, it also offers us the most priceless opportunity for growth. My job is to help you on this path of growth with practical, insightful, confidence-giving tools that will help you be the parent you always hoped to be.

A bit About Me

Parenting has nothing to do with perfection. Perfection isn’t even the goal, not for us, not for our children.
Learning together to live well in an imperfect world, loving each other despite or even because of our imperfections, and growing as humans while we grow our little humans, those are the goals of gentle parenting.
So don’t ask yourself at the end of the day if you did everything right. Ask yourself what you learned and how well you loved, then grow from your answer. That is perfect parenting.
