“Julie is known in our community for her kindness, calm demeanor, collaborative spirit and her ability to connect with and encourage others. I would tell other parents you have no idea how much working with Julie will change your entire life!

-Amy, children ages 10 and 13

“Julie has a way of communicating this subject in a loving, non-judgmental, supportive way. Not only did I take her class, but I liked her and her philosophy about relationships so much, that I also worked with her individually to fine-tune some struggles. She got me further along than my therapist!”

—Allison, children ages 12 and 15

“We were unsure about signing up for the class because we didn’t think we necessarily had trouble in the house, but we wanted to be sure we were on the right track, especially going into the teen years. I feel reassured, more confident and we have a plan for our family. I wish this was how I grew up!”

—Craig, children ages 6 and 8

“This class has been wonderful! It has been so helpful to look at how I want my relationship with my child to be different than what I had with my parents. Julie is so reassuring and I feel so much more confident as a parent.”

—Caroline

"We could not be prouder. We have our family back, and that is the greatest gift. We never would have gotten here without the positive discipline class and the support that Julie and Laura provided.”

-Rosa, children ages 11 and 14

“I love the role plays and all of the interactive activities and metaphors that really help us "live" through the topics we're struggling with, rather than just listening and hearing about them. I also really appreciate that Julie created such a safe space for learning and that the other parents feel safe sharing their experiences. I learned a lot from other people's struggles and successes.”

—Heidi

“ I love your comforting and kind approach to group facilitating.

You are talented in that way. You make a safe place in which to be vulnerable and truthful.”
