About Morgan

Hi, I'm Morgan Coburn, M.Ed, early childhood and family development specialist and founder of Haven Family Consulting. For more than a decade, I have worked in the homes of families as an educator, nanny, and family consultant. I believe that a child develops in the context of relationships, and the most important relationship is that with their parent. If we nurture that relationship with understanding, boundaries, and compassion, home truly can be a haven.
I help parents understand what their child’s behavior is communicating, so they can respond in ways that support regulation, connection, and long-term development. I specialize in supporting families with young children (ages 0 to 8), but also support older children, especially if they are experiencing developmental delays, neurodivergence, or an underdeveloped ability to self-regulate. I believe a child's relationship with their parent is the foundation their development is built upon. My work is to help improve the parent-child relationship through understanding, boundaries, and connection. This often includes helping parents navigate tantrums, aggression, anxiety, defiance, and emotional dysregulation with clarity and confidence, without relying on fear, shame, or power struggles.
I have my Masters in Early Childhood Education and I am currently pursuing advanced certification in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH). My approach is grounded in early childhood development, attachment, and nervous system regulation, helping parents understand not just what to do, but why it works. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all parenting strategies. I am here to help bring families together and support parents in finding joy in parenting and a haven at home.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me at home on my homestead surrounded by my animals: two dogs, two goats, and several chickens. I spend my free time reading, playing piano, or being outside in nature. I love mushroom hunting, sun bathing, and watching the bees work hard on on the flowers on my property. I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and it is possible for everyone to have a life they enjoy. That's why I started Haven Family Consulting -- to bring joy back to parenting and caregiving.
