Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Parenting Coach or Parent Educator?
A parent educator is someone who walks alongside parents—offering support, insight, and practical tools to help them feel more confident and connected in their parenting. We help make sense of childhood behavior, bridge the gap between research and real life, and remind parents that they’re not alone. The goal is not to tell parents what to do, but to empower them with knowledge, reflection, and tools they can use to raise children with confidence, empathy, and intention.

Who is My Ideal Client?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—some parents benefit from a single session to work through a specific challenge, while others find ongoing support helpful as they navigate different stages of their child’s development. We’ll work together to find the rhythm and frequency that fits your family best.
How Many Sessions are Required?
How Do We Meet? In Person or Virtually?
All sessions are held virtually via Google Meet, so you can join from the comfort of your home or work place. This allows for flexibility, convenience, and access no matter where you live. I do ask that during our meetings, you try to be in a quiet, focused space if possible, so you can be fully present and get the most out of our time together.
What Makes You Different from Other Parenting Coaches/Parent Educators?
I bring a unique blend of Montessori philosophy, educational expertise, and real-world experience to my work with parents. As a Montessori preschool director with a master's degree in elementary education and years of classroom and leadership experience, I offer guidance grounded in child development, respect for the child, and practical, time-tested tools.
What sets me apart is my commitment to partnership over prescription—I don't hand out one-size-fits-all answers. Instead, I help you understand your child through a Montessori lens, emphasizing independence, connection, and growth. I provide a calm, judgment-free space where you can reflect, ask questions, and walk away with strategies that actually work for your family.
This isn’t about being a perfect parent—it’s about becoming a more intentional one, with support you can trust.
Yes—wholeheartedly. I actively support, respect, and celebrate people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and family structures. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community yourself, raising a child who is exploring their identity, or simply want a parenting space that honors all people with dignity and love—you are welcome here.
As a Montessori educator, I deeply believe in following the individual child and honoring each person's whole, authentic self. That includes gender identity, expression, and family diversity. My work is grounded in respect, inclusion, and the belief that every person deserves to feel seen and safe.
