Enrollment for FALL Social Learning Groups Happening Now!
We offer Social Learning Groups for ages 6 and up including Comedy-Improv Groups and 20 Something Club for young adults!
Focused on the parent first, this online group coaching membership offers a safe and nurturing space for parents to learn the art and science of co-regulation with their children. When a parent regulates themselves first, they give a child the gift of sharing that regulation biologically and behaviorally. This fosters the child's self-regulation, social-emotional development and ultimately the way the child relates to others.

"Maria's coaching program has been life changing for me! It has helped me learn ways to approach my child that have made a huge difference in how we interact and problem solve together. Also the support and encouragement Maria and the others in the group provide has given me a new perspective on how to approach challenges with my child and in my own life."

"Working with Maria and the coaching group has helped me connect with other parents who understand the challenges of raising a neurodivergent child. I have so many more tools and resources to use to navigate this journey for myself and my children. I would recommend the group and Maria to anyone looking for positive encouragement and community!"
