Dana is dedicated and organized, and the recaps of our sessions, the resources offered, are gifts we will appreciate for years to come.

Eva, Medford, Massachusetts — via Parent Coaching Institute

I eagerly looked forward to my one-hour coaching session each week with Dana. She validated my concerns, highlighted my strengths, and helped me see key insights around self-care and how to rely on my core values to be more confident in my decision-making as a parent. After coaching, I have more confidence and less indecisiveness. I'm walking away with a new perspective on parenting that makes me feel empowered and grateful. Dana is amazing. Her attention to detail and personable nature made it incredibly easy for me to engage and interact. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone wanting to focus on their parenting approach.
