What Parents and Colleagues are Saying About Sally

“You started me on a course of improving my parenting – research and practice. I have learned a great deal about how to build a better relationship with my son and how to manage myself and my fears. Life with my son is much better now than it was when we met. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, compassion and endless resources.”

Stephanie

“I am so grateful to have found you and to have received your guidance, support and resources on additional information on parenting. I still have a lot to learn and work on; however with the new information you’ve given me, I am much more confident that I will do a much better job of raising my daughter to help her to be all that she can be.”

Suzanne

“Sally is an exceptional woman, mother, and parent coach. Her commitment to children is evident in her own parenting style and dedication to her family. Sally is extremely resourceful, bright, and well read, especially in areas pertaining to child development and family dynamics. She will go beyond “nine yards” for a child or family needing extra help. Sally can clearly assess challenging family issues and is gentle but forthright in offering help or solutions to problems. Her role as a parent coach is a natural one for her. I cannot think of anyone better than Sally to refer parents needing guidance.“

“Working with Sally was great. She gave me so much support and extra resources. Even though she was miles away, she was able to help me find the right soccer program for my son – who was very much in need of burning off excess energy! Sally was a wonderful coach. She thought of things I didn’t think of. Being coached by her really exceeded my expectations.”
