The Calming Roots Nest
You're not doing anything wrong in your parenting...You've been doing it ALONE.AND that's the problem.
Women were never meant to mother alone. We are meant to do it in community and alongside other women.
The Nest is an online monthly membership for moms of babies to kindergarteners, with a parenting course, live Q&A calls and a judgment free community of moms who get it. Led by Kierstin, an Early Childhood Educator and certified sleep and potty training consultant.
$55 CAD a month. Cancel anytime.
For babies to kindergarteners
Everything you need, all in one Nest.
Think of me as the Costco of mom support. 1 monthly membership = everything you need. No running around to five different specialists for behaviour, sleep and potty training.
- The Parenting with Confidence & Kindness Course. Sleep, behaviour, potty learning, big emotions and the everyday stuff like whining, hitting and mealtimes.
- 2 live Q&A calls every month. A little YOU time to start, then bring me anyyyyything mom related.
- A private group chat with moms who truly get it. Ask questions, share wins, vent about the hard moments.
- A printable resource library. Guides, scripts, charts and checklists for the moments you need them most.
- Seasonal extras and wellness support for YOU as a mom.
Help in your back pocket.... right when YOU NEED IT
How many times have you been in the thick of it with your child and thinking "Noooo, not again. I wish someone could just come help me. What on earth do I do now?!"
Then the moment passes. Everyone calms down, life keeps moving, and you forget about it… until it happens again... tomorrow.
Inside the Nest, you will never need to figure it out alone.
REAL SUPPORT = IN THE MOMENT.

You're not a bad mom. Your child isn't a bad kid.
You're a loving, exhausted parent who has been handed a hundred conflicting opinions and ZERO real life support. That's not a you problem. That's a support problem.
You don't need more information. You need someone beside you while you actually do it. So let's build you one ❤️✨
Not harsh. Not permissive.
Respectful, with real boundaries, and REAL LIFE SUPPORT.
One small 1% change at a time, so nobody gets overwhelmed and the new habits actually stick.
Respectful
Learn new ways of communicating with your little one so that they ACTUALLY LISTEN IN THE MOMENT.
Responsive
Become a behaviour detective (not a drill sergeant) and get to the root cause of the behaviour so we can make it STOP.
Reinforcing
As parents we sometimes accidentally reinforce the negative behaviours. In the Nest you will learn how to start reinforcing the behaviours you want to see more of and watch your child's attitude CHANGE for the better.
The Nest is perfect for you if…
- You're a mom of a baby, toddler, preschooler, or kindergartener, and you're bone tired in a way sleep alone won't fix
- You're dealing with sleep struggles, tantrums, power struggles, aggression or potty resistance (or all of the above)
- Cry it out has never sat right with you
- You've tried the books and courses and need someone beside you while you put it into practice
- You want to stop yelling
- You want to be a part of a community of moms who get it, where you can say the hard & unhinged things out loud without being judged
It isn't a fit if…
- You're looking for a quick fix or a one size fits all script
- You want strict, punishment based methods or cry it out sleep training
- You're not open to looking at yourself and being responsible to start and make a change for your family
Hiiiiiii, I'm Kierstin ✨
I spent 12 years as an Early Childhood Educator, giving 100 percent of myself to other people's children all day. By the time I walked through my own front door, I was running on fumes. That's why I built the Nest.
I'm a mom too. I have hard mornings. Some days I lose my patience before we've even had breakfast. I'm just a few steps ahead of you. I've got snacks, I've got the flashlight, and I know which way the trail goes from here.

Wondering if I can help with your little one?
Book a call with me. Bring all your questions, tell me what's been hardest lately, and we'll figure out together if the Nest is the right fit for your family.
Book a call with KierstinYou've got questions. I've got you.
"I don't have time for one more thing."
I know. That's exactly why the Nest is built the way it is. The chat is there whenever you have five minutes and a free thumb, even at 2am. Most moms spend 15 to 30 minutes a week, because we focus on one small change at a time, not a total overhaul. And honestly? The time you're spending on power struggle battles right now is far more than this will ask of you.
"I can't afford it right now."
I hear you, and I'd never want you to stretch past what's right for your family. That's why the Nest is month to month with no contract. At $55 a month, it's the most affordable way to get ongoing support from me, far less than private consulting and you can cancel anytime.
"How is this different from other programs?"
You get ongoing support from me and a community of moms while you actually do the work. Instead of purchasing a course and never logging in again... the Nest will help you to stay accountable and make the changes in your parenting that you are desperately searching for.
"What if it doesn't work for me?"
Every child is different, so there's no one script here. We start small, figure out what's really going on for your child, and adjust. If you ever need more personal help... you can add on private text support with me so that I am right in your back pocket for alllll the hard moments.
"How soon will I see results?"
Many moms notice a shift in the first few weeks. Bigger changes in behaviour usually start after 2 to 3 months, depending on how consistent you're able to be. Remember... it's a 1% change every day. Small steps add up faster than you'd think.
"Is this sleep training? Will I have to let my baby cry?"
Never. I don't love the term "sleep training" for exactly that reason. I think of it as sleep learning. Most little ones aren't bad sleepers, they're stuck in a pattern, like being fed or rocked to sleep, and they need gentle help learning a new one. I will teach you how to do that in small, doable steps so that you and your little one are never overwhelmed in the process and so that the results and changes ACTUALLY WORK!
"My child is not neurotypical or has diverse abilities. Will this still work for us?"
As a certified Special Needs Educator, this matters a lot to me. Strategies inside the Nest can be adjusted for your child's diagnosis, sensory sensitive kids and children who need a different approach. Everything inside the Nest is tailored for YOU and your family so that you can crush your parenting goals.
"What ages is the Nest for?"
Babies through kindergarteners. I am a mother to a teenager so if you love the Nest you are always more than welcome to stay inside for as long as you need. My expertise will just move from an early childhood expert into 'real life moments' if your child is older 😅
"How does billing and cancelling work?"
You're billed $55 CAD monthly on the same date you joined. Cancel anytime and you'll keep access until the end of your billing cycle with no further charges. Payments aren't refunded once processed so take a moment to read through everything on this page and make sure it feels right for your family.
"How do I get 1:1 support with you?"
Private text support is available only as an add on for Nest members = $400 CAD for 6 weeks. Join the Nest first, and you can add it anytime from inside our private community.
Every week you wait is another week of tantrums, 2am wakeups, another week of bracing yourself and counting down until bedtime, another week of going to bed feeling like you fucked up and desperately wanting to change how you are handling things. You deserve better than just surviving your motherhood journey.
I WANT YOU TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE ENJOYING IT.
