About This coach

Elissa is a Toronto-based educator, parent coach, and family mediator dedicated to supporting families in practical, empowering, and compassionate ways. With over 25 years of experience working with children and families, she brings both professional expertise and personal insight to her work.



Beginning her career in education, Elissa developed a strong understanding of child development, learning, and socialization. She later founded her coaching practice, helping families navigate parenting, behavioural, and educational challenges, strengthen relationships, and create more connected homes. She is a Certified Parent Coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting and a Certified Parent Educator through the Positive Discipline Association.

Through her work with families impacted by separation and divorce, Elissa recognized the importance of helping parents prioritize the best interests of their children during difficult transitions. She completed her training as a Family Mediator with Insightful Mediation Training, whose Insight Method aligns closely with her belief that addressing the root causes of conflict leads to productive solutions and lasting agreements.

Elissa’s goal is to help families feel more confident, connected, and supported at every stage.
