What people are saying…
Melissa is my parenting guru!! I have worked with her both in a group setting and one-on-one, and she has been an invaluable resource when it comes to raising my kids (4 and 9 months). Not only is she so incredibly smart, qualified, and passionate about her work, she is patient, incredibly generous and never judgmental. She is a mom herself who understands that raising kids is HARD and will never hesitate to say so. Her approach is accessible and her tools never feel daunting to implement and have made a big difference in our home. I am beyond thankful to have found Melissa.

Melissa has been a wonderful resource for me throughout my parenting journey. I have two boys (6&4) with totally different personalities. Melissa listens without judgement when I talk about my struggles with them and then provides practical hands on tools which help me take action in my day to day. She is so knowledgeable about the science of a child’s brain (and our own brains) and is constantly teaching me! She asks about each child separately and we come up with actionable plans, actual words to say in certain situations and I feel ready to have these difficult yet teachable moments with my boys. Best of all, Melissa is my cheerleader and celebrates my successes with me! I look forward to every one of our conversations and don’t know what I’d do without her!

Non-judgmental. Encouraging. Thorough. Helpful. These words describe my experience working with Melissa. She’s a passionate advocate for children and a supportive partner for parents looking for more connection and cooperation from their kids. She’s extremely well-versed in Conscious Discipline techniques and has a whole toolbox of helpful ideas. For me personally, having Melissa’s educated, objective perspective while discussing the nitty-gritty of power struggles with my daughter has been so helpful. Generalized advice from Dr. Google and parenting books just isn’t the same as problem solving with a live, caring human being who knows her stuff, like Melissa! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to talk with Melissa about my specific struggles and get personalized feedback and suggestions. I highly recommend Melissa’s parent-coaching services!

Melissa’s coaching has strengthened and improved my relationship with my daughter immensely. My daughter and I have gone from me yelling and her having multiple tantrums almost every day, to a more harmonious, loving, and nurturing relationship with screams and tantrums becoming fewer an farther between.
I’ve worked with Melissa in both group and one-on-one formats and her knowledge, skills, insights, and friendly approach has left me with so many invaluable tools and skills to use in multiple scenarios. Melissa listens, observes, empathizes, and helps both the parent and child learn skills to become their best selves. Her holistic approach, working with both parent(s) and child(ren) together as a team, providing both parents and children ways to better communicate with each other, building a stronger relationship.
I now feel like I have the tools, the words, the strategies I need to create a happier and healthier relationship with my daughter. If you feel like you’re having constant power struggles with your child(ren), have challenges getting them to listen to you, or are just looking for a more effective way to communicate with your child and help them grow, you need to work with Melissa!
