A new program and a dedicated space supporting parents and caregivers of trans young people, is here when you need it most.
Welcome! If you are new to Simply Good Form, we’ve been here for you since 2019. Now, we are here even more.
I am excited to now offer coaching services for parents and caregivers of transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive young people. We are based in Nova Scotia and deliver services across Canada.
I’m Cynthia (she/her) and I’m the founder of Simply Good Form, and have also walked, hiked…climbed, my own parenting gender journey. I recognize the profound challenges experienced by primary caregivers searching for gender affirming resources and navigating support systems. My services embed compassionate guidance in a world often clouded by misinformation and harmful rhetoric.
By empowering parents, caregivers, and transgender individuals with coaching that builds resilience and confidence; and the tools and resources they need, we foster belonging, affirm identities, and help create a world where every person can thrive as their authentic self.

A Gentle Guide for Parents and Caregivers Navigating a Gender Journey
The First 30 Days
I created this FREE guide to support parents and primary caregivers during the first 30 days of their child’s gender journey. It’s a simple, step-by-step downloadable booklet that will help you with the “What now?”
Learn 3 positive things you can do in the first 30 days, what to say, when you don’t have all the answers, and more! You’re not doing this alone 💛
What happens once you click to get your Guide?
- You’ll be directed to my Coaching website where you can download the Guide for free – no obligation.
- I ask for your email, but of course, you can unsubscribe any time.
- Along with the guide, you’ll receive 5 emails in total. These emails deliver additional support information, tips, and resources straight to your inbox. This occurs during the first 30 days.
- That’s it – I will not spam you – your time is too important. If my coaching can support you meaningfully, I would be honoured. I would gladly walk alongside you on this journey. I have navigated our own pathway since my child was in elementary school.
