Amy’s training on calming corners has been not only effective in my counseling office but I’ve seen it work wonders in my teachers classrooms. Giving students a space to work alongside their emotions and tools to help with regulation has proven to be invaluable for having students recognize what their needs are and what steps they need to take to meet them. Utilizing calming corners has my students spending less time out of the classroom, I had students that would usually spend 15-20-25 minutes in my office, and after having them use the calming corner, they only needed 10-15 minutes and others even less. Calming corners is something I have used at every school I’ve worked at and I would consider it one of my most successful practices.

Amy’s instruction was crucial in my understanding of emotional regulation and how to use calming tools and relaxing spaces in ways that help students connect to their own emotional needs. She provided engaging, fun, and realistic lessons that I genuinely enjoyed and that really helped me to understand how behaviors are a form of communication.Cami Buba, Counselor, Cambridge Friends School

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
