Frequently Asked Questions.

Can I take notes?

Absolutely! My clients have recommended that I tell future clientele to take notes because they’ll want to look back over things that were said. Type away on your computer or your phone, or use pen and paper. Write down whatever you feel will help you get the most out of our time together.

Can my partner join us for our consultation?

Yes – I’m happy to consult with two people at no additional cost.

Will there be time to ask questions in my 1 on 1 consultation?

Definitely. The consultation is a discussion, so ask in the moment as they arise from what we’re talking about. Additionally, if you have questions you want to bring to our session, our time is structured to allow for this at the end, so question away.

Can I add extra time to my consultation if I want to keep talking?

Depending on my schedule, this could definitely be an option. If you feel like an hour hasn’t been long enough to cover everything, and I have the time availability, we can definitely add on as needed. Alternatively, we can schedule a follow-up meeting or a secondary consultation. I want you to feel supported, and some cases may require more time. (Additional time is billed at the same cost: $80/hr and $40/30 minutes)

What if the suggestions I’m given don’t work when implemented?

I provide more than one suggestion, and more than one approach to the situation, so you can pick and choose what feels best for you. Not every idea will fit every situation 100% of the time. My goal is to help you trust your parentuition so that you can be empowered to tweak the suggestions to make them work for you. You leave our conversation with tools you know will work, so that the framework of failure isn’t part of your mindset moving forward.

By recognizing children as
capable and giving voice
to their ideas and opinions
about rules, the educator’s
role becomes more about
facilitation and less about
enforcement. This shift can
dramatically change our
relationship with children
and give educators more
time to engage and observe.
