When my now 13 year old son was 18 months old, I heard his baby spirit whisper in my ear,”If you want to serve children, help their parents.”

And he was right.

  • Empowering parents is the way I ensure children are treated with love, respect, and dignity.
  • Together as stewards of the next generation, we work to shift out of fear-based parenting.
  • I teach a “way of being” as a parent that aligns your parenting actions with your parenting values.
  • My #1 goal is to help you let go of parenting guilt and overwhelm to step into the positive change that is right there waiting for you!

If there’s one thing I know for sure it’s that this generation of children is here to bring healing to your family and our world.

My work coupled with my personal journey has led me to the purpose of helping other families find peace, harmony, and joy in their homes.

Over the last decade, I’ve had the honor of serving thousands of parents and early childhood educators in community-based positive parenting and teaching classes and virtual Happy Home programs.

Before that, I worked as an educator for 20 years.

Teaching students from the preschool to high school years, and working with young people in upstate NY, inner New York City, Portland and rural Oregon, and in the Philippines – I “get” young people: both their fundamental, yet individual basic human needs and their unique strengths, gifts and highest potentials.

As a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, Family Mediator and Master Trainer, my advocacy for the human rights and dignity of children began when I was a little girl.

As a child abuse survivor, I know first-hand:
The painful legacy of intergenerational violence against children, and work required and power on the other side of ending negative cycles in families.

As the founder of The Happy Home Method, which I co-created with the families in my positive parenting community, I help you transform negative legacies and patterns in their families to create a new story rooted in empowerment, empathy and upliftment.

I transcend  parenting education & coaching into the realm of building genuine family happiness in your home that positively impacts the next generations.

In my leisure time, you can find me relaxing and having fun with my loved ones. I love to get outdoors, off the grid, and out of cell range for time in nature. In the city, you can find me on the dance floor,  walking the neighborhoods and chatting with strangers, shopping, 0r playing board games and laughing at the jokes of my son and his friends.
