BEGINS WITH YOU.
Raising
Our Future
Helping you raise confident, compassionate kids by starting with the one who leads them—you.
If you're a parent, caregiver, or educator who wants to lead your family with more intention, presence, and peace—this space was created for you. Through transformational coaching, I support you in reconnecting with your values, your vision, and the kind of family culture you want to create.
TRANSFORMATIONAL PARENT Coaching
This is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and build a home rooted in trust, clarity, and emotional safety. Parenting doesn’t have to feel like something you’re just trying to get through—it can become a deeply meaningful, grounding, and joy-filled chapter in your life and legacy.

Hi, I’m Castilia - Parent Coach, Community Leader, Mother of Two, and certified pun enthusiast.
For over 13 years, I taught art to middle and high schoolers, raised two kids of my own (often while learning right alongside them), and found myself drawn to the moments that shape how families grow. My approach is grounded, honest, and rooted in emotional intelligence—with a touch of creativity and humor to keep things human. Parenting has been the most meaningful journey of my life, and it’s what led me here. I created Raising Our Future to offer the kind of thoughtful support I wish every parent had: a calm, compassionate space to reflect, reconnect, and lead their family with intention.

Parenting is one of the most powerful and transformative roles we’ll ever hold. But it’s not just about raising children—it’s about raising ourselves as we do.

MY mission
Whether you had children at a young age like I did (I had my first at 21—and as my daughter likes to say, I was pretty much growing up with her), or you became a parent later in life with more years and wisdom behind you—parenting asks all of us to meet ourselves deeply. It invites us to slow down. To reflect.
To heal old patterns and rewrite the stories we want our children to carry forward. My mission is to create a space where you feel supported in doing that work—with grace, intention, and compassion. Because the way you lead your family now has the power to shape not just your child’s future, but your own healing and growth as well.
HOW I SUPPORT YOU
I work with families in all stages of growth—from parents looking to reconnect with their children, to teens navigating their own identity, to educators and caregivers seeking more grounded tools for connection.

KIND WORDS
I used to parent from guilt and guesswork- now I lead with confidence, clarity, and connection.
Before working with Castilia, I felt lost, frustrated, and unsure how to stay calm during stressful parenting moments. I worried I’d be judged or told I was doing everything wrong—but from the very first conversation, Castilia made me feel safe, supported, and seen. Her guidance changed everything. I now have practical tools that actually work, more peace in my home, and a deeper connection with my child that I didn’t know was possible.
I feel like the parent I’ve always wanted to be.
I was juggling work, two young kids, and just trying to make it through each day without blowing up. I didn’t realize how much of my own childhood was still showing up in how I responded to my kids. Castilia didn’t just give me strategies—she helped me understand myself. Her warmth, humor, and honesty made it feel like I was talking to a wise friend who gets it. I’ve learned how to regulate myself, which has completely changed the way I show up at home. We’re all a little calmer now, and that’s everything.
I thought something was wrong with my kid—turns out, I just needed a new lens.
I came into this thinking I needed help fixing my child’s behavior. What I got was so much deeper. Castilia helped me understand what was really going on underneath the surface—myself and my child. I was reacting out of fear and frustration without even realizing it. Her coaching gave me practical tools and emotional insight. Now, instead of feeling like my child and I are on opposite teams, I feel like we’re in this together. It’s a completely different energy in our home, and I’m so grateful.
KIND WORDS
I didn’t grow up with emotionally available parents but Castilia showed me how to become one.
Honestly, I didn’t know where to start. I knew I didn’t want to repeat the cycles I grew up with, but I also didn’t have a blueprint for anything different. Working with Castilia was healing in ways I didn’t expect. She didn’t make me feel ashamed—she made me feel seen. Every session gave me a little more clarity and courage to try something new. Now, I’m not just parenting my child differently—I’m parenting myself with more care and compassion too.
Our mornings used to start with yelling. Now they start with connection.
It sounds small, but it’s not. I used to dread getting everyone out the door in the morning. Everything was a battle—shoes, teeth, backpacks, all of it. Since working with Castilia, I’ve learned how to slow down, regulate myself, and actually connect with my kids before rushing through the day. She gave me the tools to shift our routines and the mindset to approach parenting in a way that actually feels good. It’s not perfect—but it’s better. And that matters.
If you could do anything to infuse your family with more connection and calm, then work with Castilia!
I was hesitant. I didn’t know what to expect or if it would really help. But from our first call, Castilia made me feel safe and supported. She’s not here to judge—she’s here to walk with you. I’ve grown more in a few weeks than I did in years of reading parenting books. I feel stronger, more equipped, and honestly just more hopeful. My relationship with my child feels lighter, and I’m learning how to lead with love, not pressure.
