I am a child development specialist, education entrepreneur, and school administrator with 25 years experience in Education. I create strategies, tools, and programs that empower adults to create interactions and environments that encourage children to be curious, compassionate and capable.
Empowering Confidence & Independence & Self-Advocacy in Birthing people, Parents, Teachers and Children
Consulting Services
I work with parents and teachers to find their own voice while working with children. We work collaboratively to find solutions that fit your family, classroom, or school community. As a way to give back to the community I thrive in, I have a sliding scale. No parent needs to feel isolated.
One on one with families: $150/ hour: includes a 15-minute introductory conversation, in-person conversation covering top two concerns, and follow-up email with additional resources, summary, and strategies. This is most effective if your team of humans can attend: all involved parents, as well as in-home caregivers.
School Consultation: $200/hour: includes 3o- minute observation and 30-minute conversation and follow-up email with resources, summary, and strategies.
School/ Company Workshops: $500/presentation (1.5-hour presentation/30 min q/a): Tantrums, Emotions, Toilet Independence, Montessori In the Home, Transitions, Success with Siblings
Positive Discipline Workshop Series: a 6-week workshop to radically increase your toolbox of successful behavior-changing strategies while understanding the root causes of the behavior and connecting more deeply to your child. $200/family with a minimum of 6 families.
