Hello! We’re Michele
and Dara

At our core, we understand the behavioral challenges parents and early childhood providers face with children. It’s our heart-centered purpose to empower families and providers with effective strategies to respond to a variety of behaviors.

We believed teaching was our destiny…..

but a deeper calling led us beyond our traditional roles of teaching to make a greater impact. As fellow parents and teachers, we are empathetic and share the desire you have for your child’s well-being and success.

WE GO BEYOND EMPATHY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOLUTIONS AND RESULTS THAT GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND.

We can relate to you as parents and providers because we’ve experienced frustration dealing with challenging behaviors. We also know the feeling of pride and satisfaction when a child learns, grows, and improves!

Parents and providers come to us, struggling to find access to the necessary resources or effective strategies to manage and improve behavior. Challenging behaviors may leave you feeling worried about long-term consequences and the impact they have on your child’s social, emotional and academic growth.

That’s why we’re here!

Our mission is to EMPOWER parents and providers like you. Whether it’s in the home, school, sports field or dance class, we work with you in the natural environment for the most effective results. If you’re struggling with helping your child overcome inappropriate behavior, let us help! We’ll work together with you to establish appropriate communication, skills and behaviors so your child can thrive and you can feel the peace of mind that comes from the expert-level support we give you.

A Glimpse Into My World…

When I’m not working with others as a behavior consultant…
I’m a mom of three children and I have two grandchildren! My husband and I enjoy traveling and spending time with family & friends. I also appreciate a good book, listening to podcasts, and being anywhere near the water! Although, my FAVORITE time is spent with my grandchildren - looking through the eyes of little ones just makes life more rewarding!

"Their dedication, compassion, and genuine care for children are unmatched.”

As an elementary school teacher that has worked with Michele and Dara both personally and professionally for over 20 yers, I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone! They are a wealth of knowledge on a wide variety of behavioral concerns and interventions. Any family would be fortunate to work alongside of them. Their dedication, compassion, and genuine care for children are unmatched.
