Conscious Fathering Instructors

Eric is excited about inspiring new fathers to form a direct relationship and bond with their new child and believes the greatest benefit to children is achieved when both parents are prepared with the necessary skills and knowledge and are committed to creating a healthy, nurturing environment in which their child can thrive and grow.

Jessup is passionate about childbirth education, and facilitating the whole family in being involved in their child’s life from birth on. He brings an emphasis on how to support breastfeeding/chestfeeding, family mental health, and infant safety. He firmly believes that when a child receives great support from both parents, they have the greatest chance at improving the world around them.

Jose is excited about stimulating new fathers to grow with their families and share the many benefits that come from creating a consistent, predictable and reliable parenting team for each individual family. He presently lives in Maple Valley with his wife, elementary school teacher Danielle and is learning daily from his two growing daughters, Delilah and Carmela.

After taking the Conscious Fathering class while anticipating the arrival of his third child in 2015, Mark found he loved the content of the class and mission of Parent Trust and decided to become an instructor. He presently lives in the Beacon Hill area of Seattle with his wife, Nolana, and three children, daughter Safiyah, son Omar, and daughter Maris.

Having an opportunity to combine his passion for teaching and joy of being a father with expectant dads is truly a blessing and privilege for Matt. Matt is excited to continue expanding the Conscious Fathering program, helping redefine the changing role of fatherhood in today’s society and creating more parental balance between partners in the road ahead.
