My Experience
Everyone has their gift - mine is connecting with young children in a way that helps them feel understood and ready to communicate. Even before words emerge, I can see how a child is trying to express themselves, and I guide the adults around them to recognize those early cues and respond in ways that nurture connection and confidence.
For more than 25 years, I’ve supported families during the birth-to-five years, working closely with parents, grandparents, nannies, and siblings. I’ve learned that children thrive most when the people who spend everyday moments with them feel supported and empowered. When caregivers understand how simple interactions can strengthen communication and brain development, progress becomes natural and joyful.
The moments that stay with me are the shared ones—a first word, a new sound, a sudden spark of understanding that lights up a parent’s face. Those moments are powerful, and they are the heart of why I do this work.
My approach is warm, intuitive, and practical. I help families see how feeding, playing, reading, singing, and everyday routines are rich opportunities for connection and learning. The strategies I teach fit naturally into daily life, helping babies bloom and families grow even more closely connected. This work has always been my passion, and I’m grateful to share it with families as their children learn, grow, and find their voices.

My Family
Ryan, my adult-aged son, was the inspiration for my baby blooming journey and he continues to prove that my proactive strategies really do help babies bloom! When I am not working with children, I enjoy yoga, hiking and playing with my Japanese Spitz, Skyler.
