Get the tools, skills and experience to become
an empowered and effective parent coach.

We designed a comprehesive approach for professionals who feel the pressure to do more with less, who have clients that don’t absorb what they share, are frustrated and don’t know how to get more out of their expertise.

Our approach was designed for therapists, consultants, and professionals who want to improve their practice, and empower their families to make meaningful and lasting change, using a collaborative approach.

If you are reading this you probably want more …than just more information. You want to create a practice that honours your values so you can:

  • share your expertise in a way that feels good and actually gets used
  • shift your role so you can empower your families
  • create a more effective practice

We offer three levels of support to help you start your journey into a more effective family centered practice.

Level 1

"Thank you so very much to both Janet and Michaela for your co-facilitation in the larger group format as well as a huge thank you to Michaela for your facilitation and mentoring in our SCD group sessions. The training is going to be so valuable to our work with children/families and childcare providers, and for the continued self-reflection of putting forth our best practice as we integrate new knowledge and skills. I am excited - although still processing next steps and how to best navigate the Coaching model into my current support/service within our Team/Agency. So much respect and gratitude to you both and thank you again!”

Alanna Pamminger, Supported Child Development Consultant

"The L1 and L2 parent coaching workshop was great, thank you very much! It was very helpful getting to see examples in the videos. It was great to hear how you troubleshooted issues that came up. I appreciated that you highlighted the difficulties in this approach, and how you have had to monitor and change your own behaviour. As I take on more parent coaching clients, I will aim to apply the strategies and theory learned in this course. Having reviewed the adult learning principles and coaching characteristics was very helpful to ensure a solid foundation is established with parents and to ensure I'm coaching them in the most effective way for them. I hope to empower them and really establish a true partnership."

Orly Silberstein, M.Ed., BCBA

"Wow! Overall, I found this L1 and L2 parent coaching workshop to be everything I hoped for and more. I really feel like I got my money's worth and so many valuable connections and resources. The balance of video, theory, application and personal reflection made the workshop very engaging and dynamic. I really enjoyed the way the workshop ran, and the resources offered; it has given me a framework to work from in my current role of supporting BIs as well as for when I do work 1:1 with families. Thank you Michaela and Janet!”

Bethany Boyle, BCBA

“Working with Janet and Michaela gave me skills, direction, and hope! I began working with Janet and Michaela during a time when I needed expertise, guidance and support for both my young child and myself. I absolutely wanted to do what was best for our daughter, but I didn’t know how. Working with Janet and Michaela gave me goals, and the direction I needed. The skills that they taught me are now woven into every day activities and exchanges with our daughter. Janet and Michaela set us up for success and now two years later, we are thriving! Michaela and Janet: thank you so much for helping me become the mother I wanted and needed to be. ​I am forever grateful.”

Nicole Hardy, Parent

"I got a lot out of the level 1, 2 and 3 parent coach training. I am excited to change and tailor the way I am practicing to include parent coaching, as I truly believe it is one of the most effective ways to work with families and help support them to achieve their goals. This course made it much clearer to me how to adapt parent coaching to many different aspects of what I do as an Infant Development Consultant. I am grateful I am still at the beginning of my practice and have been given some amazing tools to use. Thanks Michaela & Janet!”

Emily Moss, Infant Development Consultant

“Finding Michaela to guide us through the ESDM was the best thing that could have happened to us. Not only was she kind and amazing to work with when we came in person, but she also continued to work with us online, since we were from another Province. She was the only one who saw my concerns as real concerns to address sooner rather than later. She provided us with the tools to completely change my oldest son’s path. I truly believe without her help, we would be in a different place with our son. ​I cannot express how truly grateful we are to have worked with Michaela!”

Amber and Carter Wagner, Parents

“Any parent who works with Michaela or Janet is truly lucky and will have life changing results. The parent coaching component is by far the most important piece of the puzzle.”

Carla Willock, ​Registered Speech-Language Pathologist

"It was good to be able to discuss challenges and questions throughout the sessions. I also thought that by asking us to decide what we would focus on each week, it was helpful in really diving into the practical/practice. It really has given me the skills to work more effectively with parents!”

Robyn Mor-Bagshaw, Infant Development Consultant

"Thank you! I love that the level 1, 2, and 3 parent coach training outlines a model of practice that fits within our philosophy of family-centred practice and offers enhanced skills in the area of collaboration, joint planning, and self-reflection. I feel that within my role as SCD Consultant, I can use these skills and practices with both families, and child care providers to continue to extend our partnerships and to build consensus about how to best collaborate to support growth for both adult learning and the development of child.”

Alanna Pamminger, Supported Child Development Consultant

"The strengths of the workshop were discussion, shared experiences around real families, and video clips of actual sessions. The information/knowledge will definitely improve my ability to think in a much broader sense and view the family though a different lens.”

Nicky Hendry, Infant Development Consultant

"The strengths of the workshop were the cases shown throughout the workshop. It will be very important to improve the outcomes of the sessions I have with the kids, once I also target the family.”

Maria Laura Machado, Speech-Language Pathologist

"Michaela and Janet work very well together.  I enjoyed hearing how they have progressed through their learning. The many examples were very helpful.  I also enjoyed getting resources that will help me further my learning.”

Heather Joe, Intake Coordinator

"Thank-you for the level 1 and 2 parent coach training workshop. I loved the content. Thank-you so much! The strengths of the workshop were learning the various tools and resources available to me.”

Mette Lockwood, Speech-Language Pathologist

"The way approached was perfect and easy to understand. It will help a lot in practice. It helped to reflect on listening more and adapting content for each family. The strengths of the workshop were materials, content and availability. For me it was excellent, I don't see anything to improve. The workshop will help in my job as it will help directly in the relationship with the parents, not only for the parents who are in training, but also in the general orientations of each day for the parents of the children that I see on a daily basis.”

Ivanna Vozivoda Salvan Garcia, Speech Therapist

"Overall I have learned so much about parent coaching with Michaela and Janet during the level 1 & 2 parent coach training workshop. I hope to be able to use what I have learned in practice with my clients in the future! The strengths of the workshop were the instructor's passion and enthusiasm as well as knowledge of the content of parent coaching. I really enjoyed the discussions we had throughout the sessions and really liked the website resources provided. The workshop will help in my job as I will start my own parent coaching sessions with parents and adopt this as my main service delivery.”

Stephanie Leung, BCBA

"The level 1 parent coach training was thought-provoking and well done. Michaela and Janet’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious. I am looking forward to Level 2.  There was a great balance of videos and presentation. The strengths of this workshop were the balance of videos and presentation and many opportunities and space for questions and comments. Thank you so much.”

Georgina Exley, Infant Development Consultant

"I loved the level 1, 2, and 3 parent coach training program. I really appreciated Michaela's ability to adapt the principles of parent coaching to the many hats of SCD consultants. The structure of the workshop was, for me, optimal. The combination of information and opportunity to reflect and share worked well. I appreciated the opportunity to participate in this workshop in this small group setting with my colleagues. The length of the sessions and the information provided felt 'just right'. Many of the principles are directly applicable, and we have already begun to re-think our approach using the framework we explored.”

Annette MacGregor, Supported Child Development Consultant
