How I Created My New Family Story

I grew up in a lively household of 12 people, which included my parents and my 9 sisters. Yes, 9. As you can imagine, my parents kept very busy making a living and keeping us all organized.
​
As with most parents of their generation, they had no training in emotional development for kids. I became an adult who felt it was normal to share my anger often and loudly, and who felt afraid to admit a mistake.

 

When I became a parent, I quickly realized I did not want to perpetuate that cycle. I embarked on a long and eventually successful journey to learn healthy anger management and to recognize and accept that anyone who is truly living is certain to make mistakes. Over time, I changed the ways I reacted to my family, becoming much calmer and most often able to comfortably allow differences of opinion or life choices. 

I felt very drawn to work with young children and I established an independent preschool with a focus on developmentally appropriate learning, especially on social-emotional wellness. 

In those 23 years, I learned an enormous amount about brain chemistry and how that lays down our emotional patterns and how it affects our daily reactions to life events and experiences. These reactions happen automatically until we become aware and take persistent action to change them. 

I became certified in Conscious Discipline, and learned even more about the biological factors of emotional wellness. I learned to control my anger nearly all the time and I became a well regarded trainer of parents and educators. 

I was also regarded as a "child whisperer" due to my ability to connect with nearly any child. I was especially skilled at helping children through big emotions, using all the techniques and knowledge in my "toolbox."

Time and again, a child's response to me indicated that they felt safe, understood and accepted with me. I loved giving them an emotionally healthier start than I had received and than I had provided for my children.

 

MY JOURNEY
My three daughters grew, moved away and began their adult adventures. I had started searching for a new leader/owner for my preschool. I was ready for life's next adventure.

 

Then my life went sideways, dramatically and unexpectedly, and left me feeling betrayed after painful endings in my personal and professional lives.

For the first time in my life, I was having serious trouble sleeping and eating. No way could I relax to do quiet meditation to manage my huge emotions about everything which was happening! I could hardly think straight and my health was suffering. I swung between rage, deep grief and feeling paralyzed.

 


 

​I felt so desperate for relief! I heard about EFT from an acquaintance and began working with a coach by phone. I felt so relieved when it made an enormous difference right away. I could sleep again; I could eat; I could feel hope after a long period of darkness, and I could make reasoned decisions.

​I’ve continued to use all of my emotional wellness tools, to learn new techniques, and to share them with others who feel overwhelmed by life.

This journey transformed my life and now I guide others in transforming theirs. Change is possible. Adapting to unexpected life changes is possible. I am proof of that. I used all that I had learned to lift myself through the most difficult days and nights of my life and to help myself drop old habits and ideas which were harming me in my everyday life, things like perfectionism and judging others. 


My experience with adults ranges from the many years coaching preschool staff and parents, creating and teaching a comprehensive positive discipline course for parents, speaking at professional conferences on child behavior management topics. I also became a certified expert life coach and used my training and life experience to support women who experienced unwanted or unexpected life changes.

After raising three children, I’m now “Mimi” to five little ones. I’m also a new inventor of an item to help children who cannot sit still for a meal.
​
My heart for giving children the best start possible, along with my "child whisperer" talent, draws me to work with them.​ I'm here to offer worried moms a lifeline, a way to write a new family story, to uplift the entire family for a lifetime. I promise you it's worth it.

Reality Check...

Iva P

Pueblo, CO

"I have worked with many coaches and therapists before and working with Anne was one of the most transformative experiences. Literally within the first 20 minutes I saw, and released, a major blind spot that had been running my whole life, not just my family. I am a single mom and it's extremely important that I model healthy emotions for my daughter. On my own, it would have taken years to be free of this. I HIGHLY recommend Anne’s work to all the parents who are serious, like me, about creating magical relationships!"

Aura T

Silver Springs, MD

"In just one session, I felt the powerful combination of Anne's knowledge of how trauma forms, her deep empathy, and her active and respectful listening. She has the ability to connect at a spiritual level and uses her tremendous skill to guide you to the source of your pain - and empower you to find relief! But when you are working with Anne, you know it is not just about emotional relief. You know change is possible, because she has achieved it. Her words and actions speak of her integrity and her faith in a woman's power to grow."

Mary M

Phoenix, AZ

"I appreciate Anne’s positive energy. I feel empowered to make small changes, which will add up to larger ones over the long run. The skills I’ve learned from her in the past month have made a difference in several relationships. Even more so, life isn't just happening to me; I feel good about the choices I'm making."

Andrea L

Olney, MD

"I learned so much from Anne while my children were enrolled in the preschool she owned. She truly has a unique and special approach with children. Anne is able to help parents develop a better understanding of their children’s behaviors and needs and incorporate strategies to create a healthier, more peaceful family environment."
