What families say

“It doesn’t focus on suface-level behaviors. It helps us understand the emotions underneath, and gives us specific tools to help nurture the connections within our families.” — Kristan Childs

“Kristan’s warm and caring personality shines when she is working with a group. She created a safe and open environment to allow for me and others to share without a feeling of judgment or shame. I couldn’t recommend Kristan higher. She not only taught amazing Tools but she also helped us see how to use them right way which made the process that much easier to adapt into my own life.” — Father of a 7 year-old boy, Richmond, CA
