Cares deeply about equity, belonging, and emotional well-being.

Me too!

Jamie S., School Director
"I am still smiling after last evening, and after our six week training has come to an end. This is exactly what I didn't know I needed! In my 24 years in childcare, 20 years as an admin, this was the single best training I have ever taken. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE."

Preschool Teacher
Amy has a valuable ability to see both the forest and the trees, from a parent, educator, and child perspective. Amy’s style will make you feel simultaneously respected, nurtured, and understood, and despite smoothly raising two amazing daughters to adulthood, she will never make you feel judged or as if a difficult child is that way because you are parenting the wrong way. She will teach you, a lot, without you even realizing you are being taught. Five stars; highly recommend.
Happy Mama
Long story short: I'm your cheerleader, your coach, and your reminder that you can be the best person possible in the lives of the children that you love. You can be the confident, clear, calm leader your children deserve. Let's get started.
