Hi there! I’m Allyn

Allyn Miller, founder of Child Connection, smiles warmly, wearing a bright orange tank top. The soft background enhances her approachable demeanor, embodying a calming presence for parents seeking nervous system resets.

I'm a Master Certified Parent Coach and the founder of Child Connection.

After a stint in corporate accounting and a decade in early childhood classrooms with my master’s in early childhood ed, I found my true calling: helping parents achieve lasting success in their parenting goals.

I’ve completed my certification at the Jai Institute for Parenting;
I’ve completed coursework in interpersonal neurobiology with Dan Siegel;
and I’m a graduate of SmartBody SmartMind with Irene Lyon.

I see parenting as one big, ever-changing experiment. By embracing this mindset, I've learned to lighten up on myself and show my children that mistakes are just stepping stones to growth.

I try to embody my three core values – Acceptance, Curiosity, and Joy – in every aspect of my work.

With that, plus a healthy dose of humor, and a knack for breaking down complex concepts, I help parents navigate their unique journeys
