If your child has brilliant qualities, unique passions, and solid abilities, but he/she struggles to learn or behave at school or at home, this coaching series IS FOR YOU!

With all the changes currently affecting our schools, children with special needs, 504's, and IEP's are left in the balance. Virtual learning is often not an ideal option, and homeschooling can be very intimidating to start or impossible for families. If your child is able to go back to the classroom, there is always the looming question rattling a parent's nerves, "how are they going to do this year?"

I am going to help you improve your child's learning abilities, attention span, and learning-related behaviors.

Hi! I'm Marisa.

I coach parents who are raising quirky kids...

because QUIRKY kid's can be really, really, really difficult to raise.

I take complicated problems that parents are experiencing, and I morph evidence-based research and my experiences into intriguing presentations that overtired and worried parents can act on.

Topics that I often cover:

  • Behavior
  • Nutrition (specifically for quirky kids)
  • Recurring health issues
  • Sensory integration
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Sleep
  • Bathroom or bedtime issues
  • Learning differences/disabilities
  • Medicines
  • Supplements
  • Finding practitioners


Why I'm Passionate About Your Family Succeeding

As it turns out, I have a lifetime of experience living in the shoes of a quirky kid who struggled with learning disorders, anxiety and depression. It took me a long time, lots of education, and years of experience working with very challenging children to find the solutions that quirky kids need in order to gain access to abilities that are hidden inside of them.

I am a Certified Brain Health Coach under Dr. Daniel Amen, and a Certified Parenting Coach. I have received training from important organizations like Epedemic Answers, Handwriting Without Tears, Mindsight Institute, Empowered to Connect, TBRI, and Lives In the Balance.

Some of my hardest quirks disguised my personality and classified me under categories and diagnostic labels that never truly belonged to me. But when I finally understood the many layers that intensified and caused my challenges, I was able to overcome them and have a much improved quality of life.

I have now been able to work with many families who have seen for themselves extraordinary changes that make their lives more fulfilling and launch their child forward.

It's time to get your hope up and dust off disappointment and worry. Your child CAN do better!
