“It’s such a better feeling to know that our child is learning rather than feeling ashamed of his behavior. Our son is so sentsitive, this is a really important improvement for us. This information goes deeper than parenting. It’s a blueprint for being a more respectful person. It’s truly lifechanging.” – Katie DaMota, Grass Valley, CA“Annie’s class was a reminder of the depth and complexity of compassion in action. Such great teachings, not just applicable to parenting, but also for my own personal development.” – Andrew Todd, Nevada City, CA
“I wish this class could go on forever… super helpful,informational, and confidence boosting. Love the gentle and realistic approach to parenting.” – Meshawn Simmons, Nevada City, CA“The perspective that this class gave me was really pivotal to not only understanding my children better, but understanding how to parent them in the best way for them to thrive as individuals. I feel like I’m on a better and clearer path of parenthood AND more on the same page with my husband.” – Jessy O’Brien, Grass Valley, CA“Far more reaching than a box of tools supped up with skills and insights and how to’s, Annie sees the individual situation from a dynamic perspective. As parents, we daily face issues with our kids- from the mundane to extraordinary nerve wracking and Annie offers creative ways to problem solve. She sees through the surface noise and strips down seemingly complex interpersonal behavioral challenges and provides a map or step by step process to curtail the issue and gain success. She has saved my family!” – Eileen Kennedy, Nevada City, CA“Annie is a brave and hilarious teacher. I have no doubt that the next few years of my life I will use something I learned from Annie every single day, and the value of that is incalculable.” – Dan Walmsley, Grass Valley, CA“Annie’s coaching has supported me so richly on this parenting journey. Her teachings have given me tools to show up as a mother with more kindness, compassion, calm, and clarity (in those inevitable moments of pressure-cooker challenge). From her guidance to establish “A before B” as an easy but powerful mantra in our family, to helping me calm my nervous system through breathing exercises that arrive as daily reminders on my phone, to encouraging me to gently meet my son in his fierce energy before guiding him into a more grounded and kind state, I am a better parent as a result.” – Kristen Stinnett-Brown“We have known Annie for years through the Music Together Program we did with our three sons and have always loved her. When our youngest was three years old though, my husband and I came to a point where we did not know how to gracefully proceed in parenting. That is when one of our friends told us that Annie offered parenting classes and private sessions. We met with her and even after being parents for over 6 years with three children she taught us invaluable skills that we had never thought of before. IT was like she gave us a tool box to work better as a couple, with each child and as a family. She helped us become an even better team. I would highly recommend Annie in whatever she offers, for it is her nature to be excellent and to embody love and insight for those of us raising children.” – Dr Heather Hunt DC“I loved Annie’s class. I learned countless tips and tools to help me parent in a positive and loving way.” – Colette Clark, Nevada City, CA“I still have times when I’m feeling big emotions I can’t identify and just need to let them out. I realized that my daughter needs to do the same. Our session together helped Amanda and I to understand this so much more, and by understanding, helped us not to be afraid and to better support her. So I wanted to say thank you.” – Jeremy Mineau, Nevada City, CA“‘The Missing Manual’ – You didn’t get one with the stork, but now you’ve found the interactive version you always wanted!” – Randy Grayson, PhD-Psyhcology, Nevada City, CA“We had a wonderful experience working with Annie and would highly recommend her coaching to other parents. She provides a great blend of practical strategies, child development information and actionable skills you can use! We are grateful for her expertise and think all parents of young children could get something valuable from a session. We came away with a new understanding of our child’s development and practical strategies for helping our family navigate toddlerhood.” – Amanda Thibodeau“When we first attended Teacher Annie’s class, we had just recently returned to the area after being away for 8 years. My son was struggling with adjusting to a new place and perhaps a new baby brother. After attending class for awhile, I asked Teacher Annie for some advice via email. My son was in her class for only 55 minutes a week, but her response came from a teacher who was fully dedicated to his success. She gave us so much great tools and insights specifically tailored to our son. My husband and I were like “Wooh, who is this wonderful woman?” We asked right away if we could have a private session on how to be better parents.” – Shannon Evans, Nevada City, CA
