About This coach

Kristi is Mama to two children, one tween and one teenager. Her oldest daughter is autistic and her youngest daughter has an ADHD brain. Neurodiverse affirming flexibility, routines, schedules, and plans are key parts of family life in her home. Kristi homeschools her children using individualized and family learning to meet each of her daughter’s learning styles and needs. She loves to do family karaoke, snuggle on the couch and chat about anything and everything, read aloud with her daughters, and partake in family silliness.

She graduated with her Masters Degree in Communication Disorders from California State University, Los Angeles in 2007 and her Parent coaching Certification from Jai Institute for Parenting in 2023. She has worked with families, adults, teens, children, and toddlers. Kristi loves helping families create the calm, peace, and joy they long for.

When Kristi became a mom she knew she wanted to raise her children in a gentle, safe, loving environment. Striving to do so was not and is not always easy and certainly is not done perfectly, but learning skills and strategies based on attachment science, nervous system science, and non violent communication has made all the difference in her home. Kristi firmly believes peaceful parenting can work for all families and that for each family where peaceful parenting is practiced (yes, it is a practice) the world becomes kinder, safer, and better for everyone.

Kristi lives in New York with her husband, children, and two sweet kittens who sometimes come to sessions. She is eager to help you create more harmony and joy in your family home. She is confident you can do this!

What Makes THEM Special?

Kristi is an optimist and believes in you. Yes, you! She has expertise in working with families with neurodiverse children, LGBTQIA+ children, homeschooling families, and families where yelling has become the norm.

Whoever YOU are and wherever you are on your parenting journey, Kristi is ready to support you to gain confidence, create peace, build joy, and find the possibility in yourself and your family.
