About Me

I’m a certified Parent Coach and a mother of four teenagers. I began my career as an elementary school teacher. I’ve spent that last decade teaching discipline strategies to teachers and parents and working individually with parents and families. I’m passionate about supporting and empowering parents with a realistic and compassionate approach.

I help parents appreciate and build on the things that are going well in their families and find practical and sustainable solutions to their problems. I provide collaborative guidance to help parents create a sense of calm, confidence, and connection within their families.

Cost

Your first parent coaching session is an hour and 15 minutes to Kristal a little more time to learn about your unique family, what’s going well and the challenges you’re facing. Through collaborative guidance, Kristal will customize a plan with methods and approaches that work in your unique situation. Following the session, you’ll receive a written plan to help you remember what to work on.


Parent Coaching Session . . . . . . $120​
A standard coaching session is an hour. This is a great time to discuss challenges that you’re facing, strategies that are working and things that might need tweaking. These also come with a written plan to help you remember what to work on.

 

I never want a family to miss out on learning the skills they need because of financial hardship. Please contact me if cost is your only hindrance.

It's Time To Prioritize Your Family's Sleep

If you dread bedtime because it takes forever, you’re sick of the countless trips back and forth to your child’s room, you find yourself unhappily lying next to your child every night, and/or you’re being awoken in the middle of the night, then let me tell you two things. One: You’re not alone. I work with many families and about half of them are unhappy with bedtime or nighttime. And two: It’s time to make a change.

It’s time you prioritize your sleep, your evenings, your relationships, and your child’s sleep. Wanting some sleep is not selfish. Sleep is necessary for your health and wellbeing. You can’t give your child what you don’t have. Wanting some time for yourself or for you and your spouse in the evenings is also not selfish. It’s necessary. A parent who is taking care of themselves and their relationships will be much better at taking care of their child. And if your child isn’t falling asleep well or is waking up in the night, he or she isn’t getting the sleep he or she needs. Good sleep is necessary for your child to be healthy, physically and emotionally.

“I would highly recommend this helpful & fun L&L course to anyone - it translates to mothers of children of all ages!  Not only is it filled with great information, and useful & practical solutions for parents, but it is a lot of FUN!  Kristal brings her warmth, helpfulness, and great sense of humor to each class.  She enhances the program with personal stories of trials and tribulations about her experiences as a mother, that bring charm and value to each lesson.  This is a great idea for a gathering of friends to experience together, a school/daycare/church group, or as a one-on-one experience.  Valuable, sensible approaches to child rearing- the effects of which translate from early childhood though high school and beyond!”
