” I love how Sandra approached the topics with compassion, understanding, and humor. The ScreamFree style of parenting is a new philosophy for my family, and I have felt immediate results just by embracing the philosophy of being responsible TO my kids, not responsible FOR them! That one point offers empowerment and freedom to parents, and has taken a load of stress off me! Thank you!

“Coaching with Sandra has been so helpful. She took the time to learn about our family and, in a nonjudgmental way, gave me new insights into our child. She helped me look at our child’s behavior in a new light and appreciate the unique behavior of all children. Since coaching I have a better understanding of my child and feel more confident in my ability to guide her. In the future I will not hesitate to use Parent Coaching again. I only wish I had worked with Sandra sooner!”

My biggest “ah ha” that I am trying to incorporate into my life: Sandra provided me with a clear reminder that it is important to be passionate about what I do, not just in raising my children, but in cultivating my own interests and taking care of myself as a complete person. Doing so not only provides me with the relief that I sometimes desperately need, but also sets a wonderful example for my children.

“My experience with Sandra gave me so much confidence as a mom. I truly feel one of her strengths is her ability to be authentic. She made me feel so comfortable with the way she shared her personal stories with me. I was really comfortable sharing with Sandra and I appreciated the way in which she allowed me to vent my struggle and still help me to see how some of the things I did helped the situation. Thank you again for this opportunity!”

“I really appreciated not being given advice or told what to do. I was encouraged by Sandra and I felt reassured so that I could find my own way to solve the challenges facing my family.”

“I have been an early childhood educator for many years and though this experience has helped prepare me to be a parent, I really benefited from my conversations with Sandra. Her coaching helped me to look at things in a new light as well as help me see what my options are when it comes to parenting my young daughter. She has never been judgmental and has really let me see my strengths, rather than focus only on the challenges. I have recommended her to my friends and would highly recommend her to any parent who wishes to strengthen their skills as a parent.”

“I can’t thank Sandra enough for all the support she has given me recently. I have 3 beautiful children who like to challenge me a lot, especially my 7yr old son. Just when I was thinking I have tried everything and was feeling down on my parenting skills (or lack of), Sandra was there to guide me through. It’s so nice to actually talk with someone rather than trying to solve problems by reading a book. Sandra is very calm, understanding and has given me some great advice on how to deal w/my son.”

“Sandra has really helped me to enjoy my children more. I used to be very stressed out about making the right choices for my kids. She has helped me turn my paralyzing stress into renewed confidence. It has resulted in me finding more time to enjoy my children and finding time for myself. Sandra helped me see the importance of self-care. I strongly recommend Sandra to everyone!”
