About Coach Kristen

I’ve circled the globe in a quest to better understand the human condition, and here’s what never changes: every child, in every culture, aches to be seen, heard, and understood. Unfortunately, modern life - screens, speed, and endless noise - steals that connection and leaves kids distracted, disengaged, and at times, downright defiant.

 

As parents and educators, we are their last line of defense. Our job isn’t just to manage the apathy or the meltdowns, it’s to ignite lasting motivation so our children can thrive in a future that none of us can predict. If you’re exhausted from fighting these battles alone - whether it’s eye-rolling over homework or full-on crises that have stumped every expert - you’ve come to the right place.

 

While I support families of all kinds, I live for the cases labeled “impossible”- the ones that have exhausted clinicians, drained school resources, and left parents feeling defeated. Decades in the trenches of hurting homes and challenging classrooms have taught me to consider the full ecosystem of a child’s life: learning style, environment, relationships, medical conditions, and beyond. I hunt root causes - not symptoms -  and will partner with you to dismantle them from every angle until your child truly succeeds. 

 

I’ll lead at the start, but my real mission is handing you the reins. You’ll master calm under fire, clarity in conflict, and consistency of follow-through: must-have skills that will make “I don’t know what to do” become “I’ve got this.” Soon you’ll be the steady guide your child seeks out and leans on, replacing confusion with clear communication and chaos with the connected relationship you always imagined.

 

Know this: a “hard-to-crack” case isn’t hopeless, it just means you haven’t met the right guide yet...

 

...and that changes today.
