ABOUT
Parenting is way harder than anyone expected; and each stage seems to get more difficult. It's hard on your self-esteem and can be hard on your marriage. When it comes to resources and help, there's a lot more bad information than good out there.
At Moon and Back, we believe validation and discussion are two of the most important things for remaining sane while parenting and that's the space we want to create for you. You've never parented through what you're parenting through right now, so let's make it easier. You may love your kids to the moon and back, but that doesn't make parenting them any less of a challenge.
Hi. I'm Dalton Renick. I'm a dad of 2 and a husband. My family is the best thing about me, and I know how many of you feel the same. A lot of hard lessons learned have led to this opportunity to coach and counsel parents and I'm ready to talk.
My experience and training have created a unique understanding of what children need from parents to thrive. I'm here to listen to you and help fill your toolbox with exactly what's required to parent your kids in a way that you're proud of.

WHAT WE DO
Individual/Partner Sessions (50min)
Everyone worries they're going to negatively impact their kids' future; it's not just you. Some parents need validation while others need a game plan.
