Melissa has been a Godsend. She has helped me get perspective on my children- what they need to be successful and how to best guide them to that. She reminds me of the long-term goals and what's realistic in the short-term. She's sympathetic and compassionate when I share my parenting failures and excited for me when I share my successes. She approaches parenting support from a holistic lens that considers the whole family's needs, family dynamics, environmental, financial, and psychological limitations. She's non-judgmental and recognizes that parenting is hard under the best of circumstances and even harder when there are challenges. In just a couple of months, I'm starting to recognize improvements in myself and my parenting as well as in my kiddos behavior. It's a journey, but it's nice to know there is someone who can help me navigate it more successfully.

Melissa is a fantastic parent coach. She really helped us through a tumultuous time, as two exhausted parents with a baby and a preschool-aged child. She is kind and encouraging and takes an individualized approach, focusing not just on parenting frameworks and methodologies but also on really getting to know our family, including our and our children's temperaments and our priorities and realities as a family, so that her recommendations and guidance were grounded in what we needed and what was realistic for us at the time. We're so thankful for her!

Melissa helped our family tremendously as a phenomenal parenting coach, most notably in the transition from 2 to 3 kids. She offered practical advice on all things from navigating challenging behavior and setting expectations to the right language to use and positive approaches. We are grateful that Melissa offered us tools grounded in her expertise in education, in a way that was customized to our needs. Working with Melissa is refreshing and her energy is contagious.
