Independent Parenting, Reunification, and Family Coaching Services

Sandylu Guerrero, through her independently operated coaching practice, provides non-clinical, educational, and supportive coaching services designed to complement therapeutic, legal, and reunification processes when families are navigating parental alienation, estrangement, and high-conflict co-parenting.

Born and raised in Boyle Heights, Sandylu’s personal experiences with trauma and disrupted family dynamics shaped her commitment to helping others restore connection and emotional stability. In 2012, she founded Sandylu Guerrero Life Coaching, an independently operated practice focused on parent coaching, reunification support, and family guidance.

Her coaching blends compassion with structure, offering emotional regulation tools and reunification-aligned strategies that help families move from disconnection toward healthier communication and reconnection. She also leads empowerment programs for women and provides workshops and speaking engagements on emotional intelligence and relationship healing.

What Is It Like Working With Me?

With over 14 years of hands on coaching experience, I am passionate about supporting individuals and families as they grow, reconnect, and move forward with intention. As a Life Coach and Family Reunification Coach, my work is rooted in empowerment, mindset development, and relational support for families navigating conflict, high conflict co parenting, or estranged relationships.

When you work with me, you step into a supportive, purpose driven space focused on personal responsibility, emotional awareness, and skill building. My coaching helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, shift limiting beliefs, and develop healthier communication tools to support reconnection and stronger relationships.

I offer non clinical coaching support and practical strategies designed to help parents and individuals move forward with clarity, confidence, and intention. My role is not therapy or mental health treatment, but structured coaching that supports growth, accountability, and relational insight.

My goal is to help clients build a foundation for more conscious communication, healthier boundaries, and long term relational stability. If you are ready to show up differently for yourself, your children, and your future, I am here to support your next steps forward.
