Being a parent is an amazing journey filled with joys and challenges along the way. We learn as we go, with each day bringing opportunity after opportunity to make an impact on our children.


Designing parenting solutions is an exciting part of my life. Over the past 12 years, I have supported many families. I enjoy empowering and advising parents, designing what fits best for them.


The basic foundation to my parenting style and my advice is respect. Respect for your child, respect for you, and respect for your situation. There are many parenting "solutions" that become more effective when they are "designed" to fit your family. I can help with designing those solutions. My advice is practical and easy to implement. The results are exciting to watch!


Most situations that are presented to me involve a process of pulling away the layers to get to the core of what is going on for everyone involved; the child and the parent. Once the layers are identified, it becomes easier to design a plan to move through the situation. This process is exciting and the changes for families are powerful.

I want a place for you to come for the support you may need. Many parents I have met have bounced around the idea of having a small group gather to support one another while I facilitate. I am very open to this idea, yet it seems with everyone's schedules the time and place to meet has been difficult to plan. It's 2008, why not try a blog? I have also created an email address for you to use if blogging isn't your thing. parentsolutionsbydesign@yahoo.com

One way or another, I am here and would love to support you as you grow in your awareness and experience as a parent.
