I would highly recommend Lisa as a support to any parent!

My experience and work with Lisa has been very memorable. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about Positive Discipline (PD) and time and again gives patience with describing concrete and easy to use examples on ways to make PD apart of my life. I enjoy her sense of humor too, which makes it a fun atmosphere. And, on top of it all, she’s a delight to speak with and always open to helping problem-solve any issues I’ve come up against. Aside from my own experiences, I’ve seen first-hand in her workshop how much of a positive impact she makes on others. I would highly recommend Lisa as a support to any parent!

Having new options to work with let me see what I could learn from my mistakes, so that this “oh, I could have handled that better, I kind of lost it there a bit” can become “now I see what works, what I can do next time and (most importantly) I’m not an awful parent or ruining my son by being human.”

My husband and I joined Lisa’s class in Fall 2014.  Our son is 10 and we were looking for inspiration on how to navigate the latest phase we found ourselves in.  What I take away from Positive Discipline: insight and techniques on how to include our son in the resolution of conflicts and issues and how the family can work together to create a space of mutual respect and understanding.

It was so very valuable to be reminded that all my child really wants is to know he belongs.  Having new options to work with let me see what I could learn from my mistakes, so that this “oh, I could have handled that better, I kind of lost it there a bit” can become “now I see what works, what I can do next time and (most importantly) I’m not an awful parent or ruining my son by being human.”  Positive Discipline is a tool that will aid us for years to come.  Thank you Lisa!

Our home is much more peaceful since my husband and I took Lisa’s class, and my children thank her too – well, they would if they knew she was the reason Mommy yells much less now.

I am so grateful to Lisa for her wonderful class. She has given me tools for parenting that have made such a difference.  I really appreciated her kind and thoughtful approach to teaching, and the way she was never judgmental or shocked about anything shared in the safe environment that she created in the class.  She helped all of us participants feel like we were on the same team, and showed us simple yet profound ways to relate to our children.  Our home is much more peaceful since my husband and I took Lisa’s class, and my children thank her too – well, they would if they knew she was the reason Mommy yells much less now.  I highly recommend it!

Lisa’s careful listening and insightful comments led to a manageable plan that I was excited about.

I signed up for a coaching session with Lisa to help me move toward a goal I’d had for 10 years: applying to grad school. In talking with her, I discovered a major stumbling block that had been holding me back. That alone was extremely helpful.

Lisa’s careful listening and insightful comments led to a manageable plan that I was excited about, and being accountable to someone kept me on track. Within six months, I’d done what I’d been wanting to do for a decade, and now I’m back to school in the fall. Endless gratitude, Lisa!!

It would have taken me 300 miles of running with friends to come to the conclusion we did today. My knees thank you!

You were able to listen to my mumbling and take what I said and repeat it in a way that helped me focus. Certain words you heard, I didn’t even realize I had said. When we started, I felt like I was headed to work – but by the end we were somewhere completely different and unexpected… It would have taken me 300 miles of running with friends to come to the conclusion we did today. My knees thank you!
