About Kristene

Mission and Vision:

To help the next generation be more connected and compassionate than the last.

I help thoughtful parents of young children, who want gentle parenting to work, but find themselves reverting back to yelling or time-outs...and feel guilty every time. I help them transform that guilt into calm confidence, and help them build a rock-solid relationship with their child that will last a lifetime.
