CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"Susan has truly helped me create healthy dynamics at home where there is mutual respect between all of us and we are communicating so much better. I will forever be grateful for her guidance and for building my confidence as a parent again."
PAIGE LINDI -Twin mom 
"It has been so eye-opening to work with Susan. She has helped me identify areas that can be improved so easily and she has also helped me keep my cool in every situation that used to frustrate me to easily. I feel like I am a better, more patient mom."
JESS SCOTT - Mom to two boys
"We first started seeing Susan when our children were toddlers as for many parents like us, this can be a testing stage. Even more so if you and your partner have different perspectives on aspects relating to discipline. My children are young boys now, and I think I will continue to see Susan up until my sons are teenagers. We have spoken to Susan about a range of challenges, from getting out of nappies to dealing with some of their behavioural challenges to understanding social structures in friendships (…and dealing with bullying), even to the point of knowing what to do when you know you have made a mistake as a parent. Susan also gave us some great tips on how to prepare us and our children for immigration. She has an amazing ability to help change your mindset around particular challenges, to see things from a mother's and a father’s perspective and to give you tools on how to effectively communicate with your children. She has been a blessing in our family’s life and I honestly wish that each family has someone like her to navigate some of the tricky parts of parenting."
