Bringing hope to families dealing with children’s challenging behaviors.
Emotionally intense children tend to have an overactive fight or flight stress response. If their behavior is due to this stress response -The solution is not to punish or discipline. Their heightened state of stress appears as anger, control or anxiety, and can trigger yours.
My mission is to educate and empower the lives of
Parent coaching sessions start with an intense Brain Child Assessment, free of charge. If we determine my services are a good fit, you will be gifted the online Mad to Glad Blueprint with the purchase of the coaching package.
Same 8-week program but in small group setting where you will learn Brain based Parenting tools to Create More Peace at home.
When traditional parenting techniques don’t work or only work for a short time – it is time to try something new. I teach a brain-based parenting approach which will give you the tools you need to Create More Peace at home. It works long term for children whose brains seem to be wired differently. It will give you the confidence to communicate so they listen and build deeper connections.
I became a certified parent coach and associate with Samantha Moe because I felt so fortunate to have found something that lasted and worked with our children. I am passionate about sharing these strategies and am gifting scholarships to get the word out and start helping families just like ours.
I became passionate about sharing the Mad to Glad Blueprint, a different parenting approach based on the most current brain research, as my own parenting journey was winding down.
I live with my husband of 30 years. We have 3 adopted children. My interests have shifted from being a teacher and musician to helping other parents who are experiencing stress and feel exhausted from dealing with kids who have frequent meltdowns and are having trouble at school. By the time I found Samantha Moe and the Mad to Glad Blueprint, my youngest was 13 yrs old.
By that time, all 3 of our children:
Plus, all 3 had been diagnosed with:
Our home was chaotic ~ family gatherings were stressful ~ addictions formed ~ and our marriage was challenged.
We wanted to find help, we tried to find help, but nothing seemed to last.
This is NOT what we envisioned when we took our precious babies home from the hospital. Being an educator, I thought I was prepared for adoption and parenting.
After many years of therapy with our children and trying every approach obtainable, I happened upon Samantha Moe presenting her 8 pillars of parenting. Her approach is different. She educates about why these behaviors are happening, why traditional reward and consequence techniques do not work on kids with Intense Brains and how to develop a relationship based on cooperation. Each pillar builds on the techniques mastered.
I immediately signed up for her one-on-one counseling and Blueprint. It worked! My husband and I learned how to connect with our children so they could listen and become the family we had always envisioned. Now, we have the confidence and tools to work through issues without hurting ourselves or our relationship with them.

I know every parent wants to be the best parent they can be. I know how vulnerable it feels to reach out for help.
If you have an Intense Brained child, they need you to parent them differently. ies
There is never a better time than now to be the parent they need you to be.
