HI, I'M DANIELLE 👋🏻

MY STORY

I spent the first 5 years of my career as a teacher in Head Start & Early Head Start, and as a home-visitor for a program called Early Steps to School Success working directly with parents.

After becoming a parent myself with two girls 15 months apart...

THE TEXTBOOKS NO LONGER CUT IT. 👀

• I was blown away by how different my daughters' personalities were.
• I couldn't get my 2nd to listen or do anything without a 0-60 reaction.
• I had to come to terms with a temper I didn't know I had.

I also struggled to help my husband understand and implement the tools I was learning without nagging/criticizing.

I began to compile the tools I was using to stay calm, speak in a way that got through to my daughter, and set us all up for success.

In 2019, I started hosting local workshops and scheduling in-home sessions.

In 2020, I utilized Zoom to connect with families across the world.

Now I've helped hundreds of parents...

• Better understand their *spicy* child so they feel so much closer
• Prevent meltdowns by creating routines that allow for positive outlets for control + attention
• Get on the same page by committing to + investing in support together

MY STRENGTHS

• Communication: I ask the right questions, listen fiercely & teach concepts in clear & concise ways that make sense.
• Positivity: I assume the best in every person & see the good in every situation.
• Woo: I love the thrill of meeting new people & hearing their stories.
• Ideation: I’m a creative brainstormer fascinated by fresh ideas & new perspectives.
• Maximizer: Seeking efficiency, I strive to improve on something good so it reaches it’s full potential.

MY VALUES

Behavior is communication.

Progress over perfection.

Feel better, do better.

Authenticity over Arbitrary.

Everyone is different.   

Everyone belongs. 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏽🌈

I will always advocate for positive reinforcement, natural consequences, cultivating confidence through independence, and most importantly the idea of "conscious parenting", which encourages a parent to grow in their awareness of their own emotional literacy and learn how to process their stress + triggers alongside their child.

I am certified as a Positive Discipline-certified parent educator, ascribing to the belief that "A Misbehaving Child is a Discouraged Child."

Overall, I uphold progress over perfection and celebrate the wins. I hold a mirror to reflect the good you are doing and constantly remind you of the ways you're impacting your family for years to come.
