Shelly gave me three tips on handling my son's middle of the night tantrums. I put them to test that very night and Voila! It was MAGIC! My son woke up and I changed the way I interacted with him and he went back to sleep with no problem and was happy about it. (!!!) The energy was completely different. No screaming fits. No kicking and throwing himself around. It happened again today during his nap time. I soothed him right away and he went back to sound sleeping. I am SOLD! Shelly just changed all of our lives. Not only do we get more sleep at night, but we are all a lot happier on top of it. Thank you so much Shelly. Your knowledge is golden. -- Catherine Just

When I have come to Shelly for help as a coaching client, I have admired both her wealth of knowledge, and the way she dispenses it. She has a way of seeing into the heart of a situation, and providing just the right mix of support and insight at the right time. I recommend Shelly’s parent coaching wholeheartedly. -- Jill Nagle

Shelly is my #1 go-to person when I am struggling as a parent. Her kind & generous listening, combined with a wealth (and years) of experience & training with all ages & in various styles make her suggestions down-to-earth & practical. That she is a parent herself, now, has me trust her even more. I always leave my conversations with Shelly feeling better! -- Kendra Cunov, Yoga Teacher

I really appreciate the grounded, tangible spin Shelly puts on the challenges I experience in my relationship with my son. I must say that the last week with Sky was EXCELLENT! I solicited his help a lot -- for help around the house and for help in connecting with him. I found him sharing all kinds of things with me throughout the week, when I least expected it, he was opening up with little stories to share. I loved this and my time with him. Thank You Shelly! It helps so much to be in dialogue with someone who so obviously cares and has practical, tangible tools! -- Dana Boyd Renault

Shelly is the goddess of connection and communication. She has helped me learn to approach my kids with lightness and humor even in challenging moments. Her skills, resources, and creativity have helped me develop some of my favorite parenting tools. Through our coaching, Shelly supported me to make concrete changes and find new ways to respond instead of repeating old reactionary patterns with my kids. I am now able to meet even more of my kids’ emotional needs because of our work together. My whole family is grateful for Shelly! Maureen Laltoo, Mother of 3
