Becoming a more confident parent or caregiver, and creating a peaceful environment during a child’s early, formative years will positively and powerfully impact that child throughout their entire childhood, adolescence and beyond.

I’ve guided parents and professionals on four continents — resulting in more confident adults, cheerful and cooperative children, and harmonious families and child care environments.
