Every child is a masterpiece of unique design…

Variations in personality, educational styles, and personal traits can occasionally create strain within a family system. My purpose is to highlight the unique abilities and features of your children, along with discovering the depth of your own character. We will work together to blend your respective gifts, creating an enduring bond between you and your child.

As a seasoned professional in child engagement and education, I have dedicated over thirty years to empowering students, parents, and teachers facilitating workshops aimed at dismantling bias and fostering connection between diverse groups.

As a mother, I have navigated learning differences, mental health hurdles, cultural pressures, and the nuances of the digital era. These influences have drastically altered my approach to parenting and the work I do. I have become a more mindful and resilient individual and parent—the highlight of my life for more than twenty years.

In our collaboration, we will explore parenting challenges and illuminate your strengths, family dynamics, and support systems. I am dedicated to guiding you towards nurturing your children's cognitive, emotional, and social development. Our journey may include enhancing self-regulation, deepening connections, adopting mindfulness and self-care, understanding parenting styles, aligning with family values, managing technology use, and fostering environments that reduce stress and promote effective communication. Our goal is to recognize and support learning preferences and differences, ignite intrinsic motivation, and, above all, ensure that parenting is a joyful and fulfilling experience. Together, we will celebrate your capabilities and the unique value you bring to your family.

I look forward to working with you!

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

Working with Alison has been a game-changer for our family. We have complex challenges around mental health and learning disabilities—Alison was familiar with these challenges and the potential resources available. She supported me, which made me feel more capable of supporting my family. Highly recommend.

Alison could not be a more supportive, validating, and educational parenting coach. Alison helped me find clarity on where I thought I was struggling in parenting, where I was actually struggling in parenting, and then worked with me to find successful ways to address those difficult areas. She brought knowledge and expertise while maintaining a humble and accepting stance that made it comfortable for me to talk through even the most challenging (and embarrassing) parenting moments. I am, without a doubt, a better parent and partner as a result of our work together.
