Family support centred on child development

“I keep hearing it takes a village to raise a child.
 
Do they just show up? Is there a number to call? I think they’re having trouble finding me…”

You’ve been found.

What we offer

“Words just can’t describe how grateful I am to Meg. She guided my son to be a motivated, confident, and independent thinker, and by working with her, my husband and I have become better parents.

“My son flourished in her care, which in turn has had an unexpected, and very welcomed ripple effect to our entire household. We function better as a family, our house is more child-friendly, and there just seems to be less frustration all around.

“We owe it all to Meg, and her unwavering dedication. Meg will always be my go-to person and, fortunately for all of us, she has the ability to help many families.”—Vicky A.

Consultations

One-on-one parent support consultationsConsultations

We will meet one-on-one to go over what your goals are as a family and outline a customized approach that works for everyone.

We will set up an initial meeting to discuss the details of the approach and a way to begin implementing it. We will also set up follow-up meetings to track how helpful the approach has been and make adjustments as necessary.

We can start with a bundle of sessions, and add to them as needed.

3 sessions – quick adjustments

5 sessions – establishing routines and environments

10 sessions – addressing an ongoing behaviour or issue

“Meg has had such a wonderful, positive effect on our whole family. She is incredibly intuitive, creative, and understanding, and is never short of solutions to the myriad of issues that families face.

“Her advice is always insightful, practical, and effective, and she has the ability to imbue calm and confidence in child and parent alike. Our sons thrived in her care and she has been an invaluable resource to us as a family. We can’t recommend her enough!”—Roxy D.
