Coaching
Life, Relationship & Parent Coaching
My job as your coach is to support you, help you discover what you most want, and work with you to create a workable plan to help get you there. I provide emotional support and insight as well as real world practices and strategies to help you have more of what you want and less of what you don’t want in your life. I will empower you to take on any challenge and succeed.
I’ve coached hundreds of people over the past 12 years and my coaching tends to focus on life, relationships, and parenting. But if there is any specific challenge you’d like coaching support to work through, I’d love to work with you!
Consulting
I recently worked to open the very first Montessori charter school in Central Oregon! I was the board president for the entire start up phase for Desert Sky Montessori in Bend, OR. If you’re interested in starting a Montessori charter school, I can help you navigate the entire process or just a portion of it. And I may even be able to help you acquire a grant that will cover the cost of my services! Contact me today if you’d like to find out more about how I can help you open your charter school efficiently and effectively.
Facebook Marketing
Through my work as a coach, a charter school founding member, and business manager for my husband’s chiropractic office, I’ve learned how to effectively market a business on Facebook. I especially love to help Montessori schools increase their visibility and engagement on Facebook. After working in Montessori schools myself, attending a NAMTA conference, and taking Montessori assistant training, I understand the Montessori philosophy and practice and can help educate parents on this unique educational opportunity. Facebook marketing is an essential tool for all Montessori schools whether private or public. If you need help marketing your Montessori school, please contact me! My rates are reasonable and my methods are effective, I will help you reach a wider audience.
