Helping You Create the Happy Family Life of Your Dreams
For overwhelmed parents who wish they had someone to talk to who gets it, who can listen to their struggles and offer advice they can put into action the next day. Stop searching for answers, and finally create the peaceful family life you've always wanted.
Helping Overwhelmed Parents Create the Family of their Dreams
If you long for a happy and peaceful family life, but you’re not sure how to actually achieve it in the digital age, the WISE Parent Accelerator Pilot Program is the shortcut you’ve been looking for.
The WISE Parent Accelerator is my way of bringing together the best and most impactful tools I’ve learned about Attachment theory, Somatic coaching, and Nervous System Regulation, to create real changes in families, fast.
With my help (as your experienced guide with an established track record, for both my clients and myself) you’ll see remarkable changes in your child’s behavior, and your peace of mind, in weeks - not years.
In this Pilot Program, I’m offering extremely low prices for 1-1 parent coaching, because my goal is to use this as an opportunity to beta test the WISE Parent Accelerator before evolving it into a Group Program. The eventual goal is to build not just a coaching program, but a community for parents! By working with me as I fine-tune the Accelerator, you are helping me create the foundation of this community.
Let me tell you why this unique coaching experience is your direct path to reaching your family’s goals, much faster than you will with any book or parenting class - no matter how good!
Wondering - Intuition - Security - Empathy
1) Guidance tailored to your family
When you work with me, you're partnering with someone who has seen firsthand how the offering the right support to parents can transform both parents and children.
As both a preschool teacher and parent coach, I've seen everything the preschool years have to offer - the tantrums, the biting, the food fussiness, the bullying, the paralyzing shyness. I’ve also seen all those things change, under the influence of a WISE adult.
Because the truth is, the changes we want to see in children can only happen when we adults take an honest look at ourselves, recognize where we struggle as parents, and learn to listen to our intuition and act from the secure part of ourselves, instead of acting out of fear. I know a happy, peaceful family life is possible because I've seen these changes in parents and kids, over and over again.
I understand how overwhelming modern parenting can feel. I want to make things easier on you. I have answers for your questions. Work with me, and we’ll figure it out, together.
2) Expert level attention
If you’re like most parents, your brain is probably on overload right now. Is there anything scarier than being completely responsible for a whole person in a profoundly imperfect world?
When you work with me, I’ll help you cut through the noise and learn to read the cues your child is giving you, focusing on one thing at a time.
I’ll help you calm your own mental chatter through targeted exercises to help you slow down, stay present, and actually enjoy this precious time with your child. (You both deserve it!)
And - you can rest assured that I’ve got your back, and I’ll help you get through the hurdles as they come.
3) My ever-expanding knowledge base
I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into training to become the very best teacher and coach I can be.
You’re reading the writing of an over-achiever who likes to be extremely prepared. Someone who reads books about psychology on vacation, and takes more than the required training hours every year to maintain my credentials. (In short: a nerd!)
I bring you the combined knowledge of not only my professional training and experience, but also as many books on child development, attachment theory, somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and healing from trauma, as I can get my hands on.
I adopt the best exercises, explanations, and techniques from all my training and research to offer my clients a personalized program to help them grow - with respect to where they are now, and where they come from. I know how effective these exercises are, because I’ve seen the way they help my clients, and I practice myself!
4) Accountability
I’m going to help you learn to recognize your mistakes and weaknesses without shaming yourself for being imperfect. Why? Because it helps your children learn to do the same.
It’s important to be able to admit when we’re wrong, and to apologize. However, if we’re harsh with ourselves when we make mistakes, we actually learn and change much more slowly, because we're too distracted by our heavy feelings. Being gentle with ourselves isn't letting us off the hook - it's actually making it easier and faster to reach our goals.
I’ll help you notice the areas of growth you might be resisting, without making you feel guilty. I’ll encourage you to get back on track, while remembering that we’re all human. The goal is accountability without blame. If that seems impossible right now, you might be the perfect candidate for coaching.
5) Serious momentum
The WISE Parent Accelerator is designed to create meaningful change quickly while building habits that last. Lasting change happens over time, through consistent practice and support.
We begin with six 60-minute Intensive Sessions, meeting weekly to establish a strong foundation with practical guidance, tools, and exercises. This gives you the confidence and understanding to move forward with clarity.
From there, you can continue with twelve 60-minute Integration Sessions every two weeks over the following four months, giving you time to apply what you've learned, while receiving ongoing guidance and support as these new approaches become lasting habits.
Over the course of this six month accelerator, you’ll be amazed at the transformations you see in yourself and your child!
Parent coaching is reserved for parents who:
Dream of a loving family life where they enjoy being with their children, and their children enjoy being with them.
Want to reach this goal as quickly as possible
Care about imparting strong values in their children, and being the best mentors they can be
Are committed to self-reflecting and working on their own emotional regulation and communication skills, to build trusting relationships that will last their entire lives
Are invested in creating a support system for themselves so they can better support their children
But I can’t help you if:
You’re not willing to be coached and challenged as you grow into the role model you want to be
You are looking for overnight changes and can’t persevere through the ups and downs that inevitably will happen when you try to change your child’s routine
You cannot help but blame your child, your spouse, yourself, or someone else, for every problem you have with your child (***although if you are willing to try, this can change!)
You are not 100% committed to doing the work
About Me
I entered the field of early childhood education because of how much I love children. I’ve always been fascinated by early childhood development, and always found little kids incredibly charming and delightful to be around.
Relationship building was always the foundation of my work with children, but over the past few years, as I’ve learned more about how children’s relationships with adults in their early life affect their ability to have healthy relationships for the rest of their lives, I’ve realized that our relationships with children are quite possibly the most important things we, adults, offer to them.
While I knew that I loved working with children, I was delighted to discover that I also love working closely with parents! The sharing stories about their children at parent-teacher conferences and the offering information about child development during Parent Education Nights felt like a great way to support parents, and help them understand their children better.
I know I’ll be back in the classroom one day (and I still make time to sub sometimes!), but at the moment I’m thrilled to be offering the WISE Parent Accelerator to help parents have the best relationships possible with your children. Please reach out if you’re curious, I have so much to share with you.
Before you will apply, there's one more thing you need to know.
This intimate program requires your time, energy, financial investment, and commitment to take consistent action. I'll provide the tools and guidance, but you have to do the work. If this is what you're looking for, let's begin.

A Message From Your Coach
Kind Words From Families
See how personalized coaching has helped parents create calmer, happier, and more connected family lives.
Wondering if your struggles are too big to hope that you can make significant changes in your family life?
“Katie is an excellent resource because she understands the modern pressures that parents face and provides excellent guidance on how to deal with them in a way that best suits your family’s unique needs and priorities. Because of Katie, I now know that the greatest joy in parenting is overcoming the hard parts. I know that my children benefit from seeing me improve and adapt to their needs as they grow.”
- Hannah P.
Have you read all the books, or even worked with another professional, and are wondering what might make this time different?
"Before working with Katie I read a lot of books on social emotional and the whole brain, how not to repeat things I don't want to show up in my parenting, and did therapy to help uncover some of those things and get out of patterns. This is a great way to deep dive into aspects of your childhood and learn more about how to nurture your child in all environments and accept their needs, and a great way to understand more about children and meet them where they need it."
- AB
Afraid it sounds too good to be true that you can change your relationships and your life?
"We honestly look forward to our sessions with Katie every week. It’s our time to regroup, reflect on how things are going, talk through any tough moments, and practice the exercises together. Katie has helped us learn how to channel our emotions and how to respond or not react when things get heated."
- CP and FJ
Unsure why working with me could make the ultimate difference in your family life?
I find that the second opinion is truly helpful. I sometimes can’t explain why or how a feeling exists, and the outside perspective is a game changer, especially since it’s from someone who has training on the subject and is more versed in that field than I am. The ability to even just run ideas by an unbiased party is a huge help, let alone the amazing explanations or exercises to help me navigate the unfamiliar.
I would absolutely recommend it. I think it’s extremely worthwhile and valuable, especially since Katie is so good at what she does and is an extremely talented individual who can really understand the why and the how.
- Spencer B.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect?
You can expect our sessions to be regular, dedicated opportunities to focus on yourself, your relationships, and your family. I will listen carefully, so I can help you notice patterns in your behavior that you might not see, and offer you the best possible tools to help you work through your struggles. I'll also offer specific information and support to help you get through the hurdles of parenting.
How often will we meet?
For the first 6 meetings, we'll meet once a week for 60 minutes. After these intensive sessions, we'll meet every other week to continue to practice what you've learned until it becomes a habit, working through new struggles and discoveries as they arise.
I'll work with your schedule to meet at a time when you can focus on our conversation, and nothing else. I will also provide you with tools and exercises to practice between sessions.
One thing I love about working with families is witnessing people's growth over time!
What types of behaviors do you address?
Here are some of the behaviors I have helped families address with their children: Tantrums/screaming Whining Aggression Self-injury Clinginess Not listening Rude/disrespectful talk Negotiating Inappropriate behavior Food selectivity (i.e., picky eating) Difficulty with morning, mealtime, or bedtime routines Difficulty learning age-appropriate self-care skills Difficult sibling interactions/fighting Difficulty with emotional regulation Difficulty concentrating Difficulty following instructions
Do have experience with children with special needs?
I have classroom experience working with children with both physical and intellectual disabilities and neurodivergent children, as well as "twice-exceptional" children (someone who is both gifted and disabled in one or more ways). My experience ranges from one-on-one dyslexia instruction to working on a day-to-day basis with children with FAS, autism and ADHD. Before working in preschools, I spent several months working with adults who were wheelchair users, along with other physical and intellectual disabilities. I believe very strongly that every child is an individual, and that with the right supports and scaffolding, children with special needs can learn and grow and cultivate loving relationships, just like every child can.
