Welcome to 'After the Hatch', support and guidance for parents.  I am a parent coach and a mom of 4 children, 2 sets of twins. I know and understand the emotions many of you are going through. Parenting has ups and downs and can feel overwhelming and at times, stressful.  Call me for a chat. ( No charge for the first 15 minute call. No obligation to continue).

I have decades of experience working with families as a clinical nurse, midwife and also through Yale University's parenting program. I have held clinical, supervisory and teaching positions. Although my Master's degree in Family Studies provides my theoretical knowledge, ( using the family systems and attachment theories); it is my personal experience as a mom and as parent educator which allows me to connect and understand with parents. I can help with guiding a child's behavior, relationship building and forming strategies for positive parenting. 

Most parents have challenges when raising their child. I know I did! I can talk to you about the normal, everyday struggles you are having with your newborn baby, infant, toddler and beyond. Is their behavior normal? Why are they crying? Why don't they listen? What can you do to help with their anger? Tackling the small problems today can prevent bigger problems in the future. 

​

How can I help? I listen to your concerns and I can give you tools to help with positive parenting. I believe 'behavior is communication', your child is trying to tell you something. Often it just takes a couple of sessions to see improvement in your child's behavior. 

​

If you feel overwhelmed or you just aren't happy with your child's behavior, contact me for an individual or small, informal group sessions. There is no charge for the first 15 minute session.
