SPEAKING, CONSULTING, & TRAINING

As a specialist in children and parenting, I love teaching parents and professionals simple, concrete skills that will enhance their relationship with the children in their lives. Whether you’re budgeted for a 1-hour presentation customized to your group or a complete evidence-based training program, participants leave with concrete strategies that will change the way they talk to children, and improve connection and cooperation in real-life applications.

Healthcare and caregiving industries rely on leaders and workers who have a sense of duty, compassion, and care for others. But those qualities can also lead to over-giving, compassion fatigue, and caregiving burnout. You value your team’s need for balance and self-care — you don’t need platitudes and generic self-help content. You want a high-level, inspirational, personalized experience. From individual small-team talks, to recurring support groups, to company retreats, I customize cutting-edge evidence-based strategies to your organization’s needs, leaving your staff feeling replenished, hopeful, and capable.
