Melissa Keinan, Parenting Coach
Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm here to help!
I'm a 25+ year special educator, Parent Coach, Inclusion Consult, Curriculum Developer, and mom of two neurodiverse kiddos.
I am separated from my co-parent and also work to support parents throughout the transition process.
I work with parents to develop connection based, neuro affirming adjustments to improve their lives.
I provide support based on your personal philosophy, family dynamics, concerns and intentions. We utilize research-based practices and create a plan for the unique experiences of your family.
