What our customers say

“I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated taking your course on high conflict parenting. During the course studies, it forced me to step outside of my 'high conflict comfort zone' and reevaluate how I handle situations with my ex. The EYE opening/shocking/ground breaking moment for me, was realizing how my daughter manipulates me by getting out of chores during transitions! Thank you once again. 🤞That I can remember everything I learned in the midst of the next rocky situation!”

Christi

Then helps provide techniques and exercises to help resolve conflicts with the children's best interest at the forefront of every topic.”
