I worked with Amy to facilitate a series of staff sessions to implement Calm Corners in our PreK-12 district. Amy is masterful in balancing professional development sessions with multiple modes of learning to engage teachers in the midst of their busy days. Both her direct instruction to teachers and her consultation to my work district-wide have been invaluable to building a common practice that meets the needs of all students.Jessica Durling, M.Ed., MTSS Tier I Coordinator, PreK-12, Groton-Dunstable Regional School District

As a parent of both boys and girls, I’ve had the pleasure of seeking advice and coaching from Amy for over 20 years as my children have grown, from ages 5 to 25. As a parent herself, she brings both personal experience and professional knowledge to her advice. I’ve consulted her on a wide range of issues, from maintaining family harmony to navigating school challenges and peer relationships. She is incredibly easy to talk to, always non-judgmental, and truly listens with empathy. Her advice is trustworthy, practical, and grounded in real-world solutions. What I appreciate most is the flexibility to reach out for short consultations whenever I need guidance, without the commitment of an ongoing therapeutic arrangement. I highly recommend Amy to any parent looking for sound advice and support!A mother of three from Cape Ann, MA
