Helping Parents Thrive
I believe that NOT ONLY DOES each one of us hold the power to shape the future through the way we raise our children BUT THAT WE ARE THE BEST person to do so.
But let's face it, parenting is hard.
And it's easy to lose confidence in your ability as a parent:
-
To feel guilty about what you're doing or not doing.
-
To feel like you're not spending enough time with your child.
-
To feel like you don't have enough patience.
-
To feel like your child should get better grades.
-
To feel like you're just not enough.
-
To feel guilty because you want some time to yourself.
And there's no one to talk to about it. And you feel frustrated and stuck!

IT ALL STARTS WITH A PHONE CALL
Hi! I'm Mary...
and I am absolutely thrilled that our paths have crossed.
I can confidently say I am uniquely equipped when it comes to kids! My passion for helping families thrive is fueled by my lifetime of experience. With over 4 decades spent in classrooms while raising my own Fab 4, and now with the added joy of helping raise my two beautiful grandkids, I've seen the parenting journey from every angle. My joy is helping families like yours. I understand the juggle, the meltdowns (both yours and theirs!), and the pure magic of raising little ones. Here, I'll share my knowledge and strategies – a blend of what I've learned in the classroom, raising my own crew, and navigating grandparenthood – all with a healthy dose of practicality and, at times, laughter. We're all in this together, and I believe with a little support and a hefty dose of fun, we can cultivate something grand: happy, confident kids and connected, joyful families - whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out.

It is not easy being a parent, nor is it always easy being little in the world we live in today. But having Mary on your team makes your child’s world that much easier because of her ability to build children’s self-esteem and confidence - the metamorphosis of a child from a caterpillar into a butterfly.”
