As you try your best to make a wise decision about whether to become a parent or choose to be childfree, it’s completely understandable that you’d feel stuck.
It’s so hard to figure out what you really want, especially when it seems like everyone is so quick to offer their opinions.
In addition to your own fears and unconscious beliefs, outside influences that can cloud your decision include your partner or relationship status, parents, other family members, and cultural traditions. They can also come from well-meaning friends who insist you’d be a great parent, the pull of your career aspirations, concerns about global issues (like the climate crisis, war, and energy prices), your age, and so much more…
You’re not alone in this. More people than you know are sitting with the exact same questions — and the same pressure to just already know the answer.
There is a way to break through the noise and decide what’s right for you…
Join Ann Davidman, Parenthood Clarity™ Mentor for a special 1-hour event, and start moving toward the clarity you've been looking for.
She’ll introduce you to her trailblazing Parenthood Clarity™ Process — and you’ll experience a taste of it for yourself as she leads you through a guided practice to help create the internal spaciousness you need so you can start exploring what you really want, even when it can feel like our society has already chosen for you.
Discover what you truly want — to become a parent or choose to be childfree.

In this 1-hour event, you’ll:
- Identify the societal and family influences that are impacting you — including the views our culture tries to impose on all of us.
- Walk away with tools — including guided visualizations and meditations — you can use immediately to help you move toward the decision that's right for you.
- Discover the value of choosing not to know (only temporarily)... for now.
- Experience a guided visualization designed to create the internal spaciousness you need to hear your own voice — beneath all the noise.
- Get a real taste of Ann's proven Parenthood Clarity™ Process — and how it can help you uncover your inner truth.
- Bring your questions and get Ann's direct insight into your particular situation — and learn from others in the same place you are.
When you join us for this special hour, you’ll also learn how you can continue working with Ann in an in-depth weekend workshop, if you’re feeling called.
Ann has been helping people find their personal clarity since 1991, and has taken everything she’s learned and put it into a comprehensive, in-depth exploration of the deep-rooted pressures and expectations associated with parenthood. She’ll guide you step-by-step, to arrive at the confident clarity you desire and deserve.
Psychotherapists Ann Davidman and Denise L. Carlini created the programs, Motherhood - Is it for me? and Fatherhood - Is it for me? in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1991 to provide a resource to women and men experiencing ambivalence about parenthood. So often, these women and men felt shame or judged about their indecision. Ann and Denise created support groups that allowed them to explore the issue free of judgment and discover their heart's desire about whether they wanted to become parents or live childfree. Ann and Denise led the groups together for 10 years.
In 2000, Ann Davidman began helping individual women and men find clarity about whether they wanted to be parents through her private psychotherapy practice in the San Francisco Bay area. She now offers her Motherhood
Clarity™ Course and Fatherhood Clarity™ Course to individuals and groups in her online course.
Ann Davidman, MFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Parenthood Clarity™ Mentor, and author. She received her master's degree from San Francisco State University and is a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).
"I was so relieved to find this program. Intuitively, I knew I couldn't be the only one struggling with this decision, but after years of searching, I couldn't believe how hard it was to find resources to help guide me. Ann was wonderful to work with. I felt 100% supported, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, from our very first conversation. The biggest revelation/blessing I received was the understanding that deep down, I really did know the answer. It was just that there were some blocks in my life that I had to work through in order to get to the clarity and wisdom that was already there. Ann helped me work through those blocks and a year later I can say I have the clarity I had so desperately been searching for. I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling with the decision to become a parent." — E. T.
"Ann provided such a safe space for me to work through my questions and doubts, and to learn that I wasn't alone in my journey. I'm thrilled to have come so far and to be certain about the choice I've made to become a mother." — Mary
"I went to Ann because I was at a crossroads — after 3 years of infertility, I was considering adoption, but was plagued with ambivalence the entire time about whether to parent at all. I was 50/50 and just couldn't decide. The program helped me get to clarity on what my truth really was — that I had wanted a child, but now in my mid-40s starting a family no longer felt like the right path. The program helped heal childhood wounds and identify my true desires amid a confusing array of societal expectations, hopes, fears, wants and needs. My decision feels right and good, and it has freed up tons of energy that was going into a daily see-saw over this. I am embracing my childfree life with my husband, doggie, enjoying the many kids of our friends and living a fabulous life." — Nora S.
"I gained invaluable self-awareness and insight and started on a road to self-healing that went far beyond the decision around whether to become a mother. I realized that my ambivalence and doubt is rooted deeply in issues of self-esteem and confidence, which was a revelation. I have viewed making decisions differently since the program. I have found more confidence in making decisions.... I have given myself permission to enjoy my life as I want to live it." — Sally V
