Struggle isn't a sign of failure, it's a sign you need more support!
We often carry lots of shame and guilt about parenting. No one needs that on top of the already difficult job that parenting is! Instead what you need (and deserve!) is education, resources, tools and support!
We design all our coaching & mini-courses so we can learn and support one another together, minus the guilt and shame. Keep scrolling to see which option is best for you!

If you're like most parents I know, you want to raise great kids!
You want to have a connected family. You want your kids to cooperate more (who doesn't?!) You want it to be easier than what it is at the moment. And you need much more than the latest parenting hack, quick "fix" or script to do so. Look, no one ever taught us how to parent well, so it makes perfect sense that we need help to do this.
​
I'm here to give you the support you need & deserve!
​
With over 30 years of experience as both a parent and educator, I've had the privilege of supporting thousands of children and families. As a certified parent educator & coach my focus is on strengthening family connections and empowering parents to be the confident, steady leaders their kids need. I offer practical, research-backed tools and strategies that are designed to help you build a stronger, more connected family that you are longing for.
The most individualized option, private coaching focuses entirely on your unique challenges and needs. We work one-on-one to create tailored strategies and solutions to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals!
In this option, you'll work alongside at least one other person or couple, tackling your challenges while sharing insights and experiences with others. It's a supportive environment that combines semi-personal attention with the power of connecting with others. You'll be responsible for finding at least one other person or couple to join, so you'll be working wtih people you know and feel comfortable with.
Looking to enhance your parenting skills? Schedule a 3-week mini-course designed for couples, small groups, and mom groups. Each participant will receive comprehensive course materials to support their learning journey. Whether you prefer a faith-focused or a more secular perspective, our courses cater to your needs. With a minimum of six participants and no maximum, come learn and grow together!

Mel made the material so engaging, sharing her own experiences and wisdom with us as she coached us through the lessons. She also took my panicked calls when I still wasn't confident I was doing things right. If you’re looking for a way to help you have a closer, deeper and more peaceful relationship right now with your teen, then this is for you!
Shelly P, Parenting and Personalities mini-course participant
This is the 2nd course I've taken with Mel. (I took the teens course with her and it's amazing as well!) Having 3 kids, I've always struggled with one of them in particular. After taking this course, I feel so much better about how I've been able to understand her and change the course of our relationship for the better! I think any parent can benefit from Mel's wisdom and down-to-earth style.

After we heard Mel speak at a Valentine's Day event at our church, we reached out for private coaching! We were really struggling with our teenage daughters. We came to Mel completely exhausted & lost. She listened & guided us through many situations - her advice has been so helpful - and we love how she shares thoughts & ideas from her heart as well as her own experiences! We only wish she had come into our lives 10 years ago!
