As a parent coach in Portland, OR, I support families navigating complex, high-stress dynamics – including neurodivergence, trauma histories, and conflict – during and after divorce or separation.
Parents report the following outcomes with Happy Home Support:
Reduced escalation and fewer power struggles at home, even during high-stress moments
Greater confidence and clarity in parenting and co-parenting decisions, rather than reacting in the moment
Improved communication and coordination with a co-parent, during and after divorce or separation
Stronger parent-child connection, alongside clearer boundaries and expectations that increase cooperation
More effective responses to challenging or explosive behavior, without relying on control, manipulation, rewards, or punishment
Increased emotional regulation for parents, supporting calm, steady leadership during difficult interactions with children and co-parents
Reduced parenting guilt and shame, alongside increased self-compassion
Greater consistency and stability for children, particularly during periods of transition or stress

With a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution, a background in Education, and certifications in Positive Discipline, Family Mediation, Collaborative Divorce Practice, and Parenting Coordination, I bring both compassion and solutions to families navigating high-conflict and high-stress dynamics.

Lea K. Tawd
I worked with Megan for several months after I became a widow. I was very overwhelmed with my recent loss and having to solo parent through it. Megan was such a big support. She has such a kind and nurturing presence and she gave me a lot of tools that I needed to cope and to be able support my kiddo through it as well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing parenting support (as in, every parent!).Posted on Google
Lucy DMegan's innovative parenting approach has not only strengthened my bond with my children but also provided me with guidance through the complexities of co-parenting. Her understanding and supportive methods are like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend her services to any parent in search of effective and compassionate guidance.Posted on Google
Maria EldonMegan is fantastic! She has helped us through many tricky situations in here one-on-one coaching and we have been so thankful for the support!Posted on Google
christine kennedyMegan is fantastic!!! I cannot express how much we appreciated Megan's guidance and support during our coaching sessions. She is so knowledgeable and has a calming demeanor that really resonated with both my husband and me. We use her tools and methodologies daily and refer back to the curriculum when we face parenting challenges! Her course is invaluable, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in approaches to parenting that strengthen the bond between parents and their children!Posted on Google
WiseMind Educational Services (WiseMind Educational Svcs)This lady has a lot of positive energy, know-how, and skill! As a business owner managing a team of women supporting at-risk youth with emotion regulation, consulting with Megan has been invaluable to creating a flow of coaching, mentoring, and heart-centered support. I couldn't recommend her more!Posted on Google
lesley conwayMegan presented at our elementary school wellness night. Her presentation provided our families with some tangible, evidence-based methods to genuinely connect with our children, which often promotes behavior improvements. She also highlighted simple communication shifts that can help a child clearly understand what the expectation is, instead of what we don't want them to do. I highly recommend her as a large group presenter as well as a group leader/individual parenting coach.Posted on Google
MiShawn WilliamsMegan is masterful at understanding the challenges and coming up with approaches and solutions. She REALLY listens to what is going on and is so great about identifying your child's strengths as a way to better frame what could be going on and how to work with that child's strengths. And, all the tools and resources she includes in her Happy Home course and, if you opt for this, the one-to-one coaching is so comprehensive and gave me so much more peace of mind in that we are not alone in how we are feeling challenged, clueless and confused as single-child parents. With Megan's help, we got effective tools, clarity, direction. We definitely recommend Megan.Posted on Google
Paul HoughtalingMegan has been a steady help to our journey as parents to a vivacious 4 (now 5) year old. She's helped us through sticky problems with bedtime, transitioning into kindergarten, and all the things on-going parenting challenges bring up for each of us. Megan is enthusiastic about helping families be their best selves. If your family is looking for some help with a minor or major issue, or even just ongoing support, I highly recommend her.Posted on Google
shannon DHappy Home really works! Connection is the key, and Megan is truly a pro at helping others learn this beautiful art. It starts with believing in myself, that I am good enough and deserve to live in a happy home too! I knew I needed help getting my relationship with my kiddo back on track after my divorce. Our relationship had always felt lop-sided and after it became just the two of us, I really felt the imbalance. We were getting stuck in toxic cycles, speaking to each other without empathy or love for the challenges we have faced and are working to overcome. My favorite thing about working with Megan is how she is my coach, and also my cheerleader. She is equal parts accepting of where I am, meeting me there, and encouraging me and guiding me along the path to create the relationship I desire to have with my kiddo. We celebrate my successes and she helps me find the lessons in the mistakes, the beauty in the perceived failures. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone searching to build a happy home!Posted on Google
Tara McDonoughWhat I appreciate the most about Megan and the Happy Home Community she's created is that she affirms for you that parenting challenges are really hard, and these developmentally appropriate milestones can make you want to pull your hair out. Together with Megan, you figure it out. Based upon your personality, your needs, and your child's quirks and their strengths, you figure out ways to navigate some of the everyday challenges with ways that are much more smooth, calmer, and that leave you less frazzled at the end of the day.

“We are so grateful for Megan and the Happy Home community!…. I can hand-to-heart say that the best part about working with Megan is her unceasing support of ME as a mom, and as a person. I have been continually blown away at how she has gone above and beyond, not just for our daughter but for me, personally….. With Megan in my corner, I can show up as the mom I want to be to this glorious child who has so much potential. If you are considering working with Megan, just do it. You are worth it. We never get back our time with our kids. Megan will help you get through whatever you’re dealing with right now, so you can make the most of every minute.”

“Megan is the person who means a lot to me when I learned how to become a positive mother. During our coaching time, Megan’s words always inspire me and I can practice those useful tools and tips in my daily parenting life. Megan is our sunshine on the parenting journey.”
“ In a world where parents keep hearing what they are doing wrong, it is so refreshing to experience Megan’s Happy Home program where we get to experience what we are doing right!
Her lessons are well thought out and she gives personal attention to all who participate throughout the course.
Highly recommended for those of us who sometimes
feel burned out by trying to be a good parent and feeling like we fall short.”

“One of the most life changing things in my life has been attending Megan’s class almost 5 years ago.I have learned so much, made life long friendships and have the positive parenting peeps at my back for support. Even if you are on your second or 6th child, the knowledge Megan can give you is priceless. This free class can be your gateway to a rewarding and fun parenting journey!!”
