It's time someone managed this with you.
Introducing the T1D Mom Coaching Program: an 8-week live group coaching experience for moms who are done doing this alone and ready to feel confident, calm,
and in control.
The diagnosis came with instructions for insulin, but not for the weight you'd carry every single day.
The constant uncertainty. Seeing patterns in the data but not knowing where to start to make changes. Mornings that run high and then crash. Nights that swing from treating lows to giving corrections. Meals that feel more like a guess. Knowing you should be able to handle this, but still feeling usnure what to change and afraid of making the wrong move.
You are trying to balance better blood sguars with letting your child just be a kid, and it feels like every decision comes with a tradeoff. On paper things may look "okay", but the daily highs, lows, and nonstop decision making are mentally exhausting.
You want to feel confident without relying solely on brief clinic visits or being told you are "doing great" while feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
✦Sleep through the night without wondering what number you'll wake up to
✦Make dosing and food decisions with confidence, instead of second guessing every bolus
✦Understand your child’s patterns well enough to know why things are happening and what to adjust next
✦Stop googling at midnight and have a framework and coaching space that actually helps you create sustainable changes
✦Feel like yourself again, not just the person managing diabetes all day, every day.

You’re caring for more than one child. You’re a partner. You’re working. You're managing schedules, sports, meals, and emotions. T1D is layered on top of an already full life.
For many parents we support, it's not just the numbers that feel heavy. It's the constant responsibility. The pressure to make the right call in every decision day and night. And too often, you carry this all alone.

Before this group coaching program I felt like if I couldn’t control the entire situation, then I couldn’t control Owen’s blood sugars. Example- if we didn’t stick to our schedule, or if I didn’t make the food myself and measure everything out then his numbers would be chaos. I felt limited, stuck, and trapped essentially by his T1D.
After coaching, we have seen drastic improvements in being able to manage his numbers and also the freedom that comes with it. I felt like this program really looked at the whole picture. Teaches parents how EVERYTHING affects blood sugars & not just how much insulin to give for carbs. Also, being able to see patterns & adjust how we handle that has been HUGE.
As a result we now have more spontaneous play dates, we all get more rest because of better overnight numbers, have more food freedom, and I am more overall confident in my ability to manage Owen’d T1D.
If you’re on the fence about this program, all I can say is DO IT!!!!!!!
A live, hands-on coaching experience designed to change how you think, feel, and respond to T1D in real life.

The family program met and exceeded my expectations. I connected with other parents and felt so much less alone. I took my diabetes health knowledge to the next level and feel empowered that I can navigate the challenges with T1D that will undoubtedly continue to arise for my son. From the program, Henry's A1c lowered from 7.1% to 6.7% and increased time in range from 70 to 78%. My own mental health has also greatly improved just having all these new tools, knowledge and even new mom friends who "get it.”
In the family program for parents of T1D kids, it was deeply reassuring to be led by exceptional coaches who have lived with T1D for decades. We all say we’d give anything to help our child with T1D. This is hands down the best time and money I’ve spent on supporting our son...and it’s had a positive impact on our whole family. Now with 76% time in range, we have expanded the choice of food George eats, have hours of in range numbers during sports, and we are more willing to try new things with less fear.
Before going through the family coaching program, we experienced feelings of guilt around my teenage daughter's type 1 diabetes diagnosis 3 years ago. This led to the development of short and long term fears as well. After coaching, we all feel more at peace with her diagnosis and feel that there’s help for her and us. The high level of support of coaching continues to help us gain more knowledge, confidence & an overall peacefulness that we can share with our daughter.
Not at all. In fact, getting the right support early can save you months of stress and trial-and-error. The program meets you where you are — whether that's week two or year five.
No. This is coaching and education. We don't prescribe or adjust insulin doses. We teach you frameworks, strategies, and tools so you can work more effectively with your child's endo team and feel confident making day-to-day decisions.
Every session is recorded and available within 24 hours. You'll also have the private Slack community and office hours to get support between sessions. Many moms watch replays and still feel like they get the most out of the program.
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans to make the program accessible. Details are provided during the application process. HSA and FSA funds are also accepted.
