Helping you parent with a little less struggle and a lot more joy!

About Me

Being a parent is BY FAR the hardest thing I’ve ever done. (Maybe you can relate?) But I love it. My hope is to help you fall in love again too.

I’m all about guiding families from surviving to truly thriving. With over twenty years immersed in child development and dual Masters degrees in Human Development/Early Childhood Education and Social Work, I’ve enjoyed supporting children and families in a multitude of ways—early childhood educator, instructional coach, and stay-at-home mom.

My superpower? Helping families turn chaos into calm and savor those magical moments of connection and wonder.

Ready to re-discover the joy of parenting?

Kind Words

There isn’t enough time or space to tell you everything that I appreciated about Mel. She is warm, kind, and so incredibly thoughtful in her coaching approach and practice. I was immediately at ease and felt like each session was a gift that I so desperately needed. Mel has this ability to support me as I live my way through the questions/issues and into the answers/solutions. She is an incredible guide.

Every parent should have the opportunity to meet with Mel, she is exactly what you need to help navigate the sometimes rough waters of parenting. It was the very best act of self care I have given myself, better than any massage or pedicure!
