Advocacy Begins with Understanding
And Understanding Begins with the Child
As an Intuitive Child & Family Advocate, my work is centered on one truth: children show us everything we need to know, if we learn how to listen beyond the surface.
I combine aligned advocacy training with intuitive insight, child development knowledge, Human Design, neurodivergent awareness, and a deep ability to see the whole child, emotionally, energetically, and practically. This allows me to support families in ways traditional systems often overlook.
My approach is not clinical.
It is not diagnostic.
It is grounded, clear, and rooted in real-world tools that help children feel safe, understood, and accurately represented.
This is a space where parents are supported, schools are guided, and children are seen as they truly are not as a list of behaviors, labels, or limitations.
Here, advocacy is not about fighting.
It is about clarity, communication, and honoring the full picture of a child.
Here, you do not walk alone.
Advocacy Services Overview
I support children across a wide range of needs, temperaments, and communication styles, including children on the spectrum, non-verbal communicators, highly sensitive children, gifted learners, and children who struggle inside traditional school environments.
My role is to understand who your child truly is beneath labels, behaviors, or misunderstandings, and then clearly communicate their needs to the adults and systems responsible for supporting them.
I bridge the gap between your child, the school, and the home, so your child is not just heard, but accurately represented.
My approach is individualized, emotionally intelligent, and deeply attentive to the nuances most systems overlook.
Areas of Support
Every child communicates differently, learns differently, and responds differently.
I specialize in understanding the children who are often misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked in traditional systems including:
Children on the autism spectrum
Non-speaking or minimally verbal communicators
Highly sensitive or emotionally expressive children
Gifted, intuitive, or advanced learners
Children with ADHD or attention differences
Children struggling with school anxiety, sensory overload, or shutdown responses
Children who “don’t fit the system,” even if no one knows why yet
Children who mask, hide their stress, or appear “fine” at school
My focus is always to understand who your child truly is not what their behavior appears to be on the surface.

school behavior concerns
anxiety or overwhelm

The G.E.M. Method™ (Gentle Educational Mapping)
The G.E.M. Method™ is the heart of my advocacy work, a framework I created to bridge traditional child advocacy with a deeper, more human understanding of how children learn, communicate, and regulate.
G.E.M. helps you understand your child through three layers:
1. Gentle Observation
Seeing your child clearly, not through labels, behaviors, or school reports, but through their patterns, needs, communication style, and emotional world.
2. Educational Mapping
Connecting the dots between their strengths, challenges, sensory needs, learning style, and what supports will actually help them thrive in a school setting.
3. Meaningful Support
Creating simple, effective plans and communication tools you can use at home and in school, including wording for teachers, classroom strategies, and emotional support approaches.
The G.E.M. Method™ meets children exactly where they are
including neurodivergent, autistic, non-speaking, highly sensitive, gifted, emotionally intense, or misunderstood learners.
It is warm, structured, evidence-aware, and child-honoring
a completely new way to see the whole child.
