Testimonials
“I was lucky enough to experience working with Anne-Marie through a 6-Session Coaching Series. Anne-Marie is kind, patient, and supportive. She encouraged me to show up as myself each time and allowed me to be my full self in our coaching container. Anne-Marie would kindly point out when I was being too hard on myself and provide constructive, actionable feedback to move forward. She was always on time, prepared, and ready to go. I truly cannot recommend Anne-Marie enough and am grateful I had the opportunity to work with her.”

“I came to Anne-Marie exhausted and feeling like I would never have a good night's sleep. After years of creating bad sleep habits for myself and for my child, I felt helpless. During our first call, she told me ‘I’m confident I can help you with this.’ Throughout the whole process she was encouraging yet firm, and extremely confident that we would achieve our goal of a healthy bedtime routine and everyone sleeping through the night in their own bed. I am so happy that Anne-Marie was my coach through this process, it was the guidance and encouragement that I needed to reach my goal…and get some sleep!"

“When I first started working with Anne-Marie, life had begun to feel absolutely unmanageable. My 16 month old was throwing food at mealtime, scratching us or hitting us when upset, completely dependent and clingy, always hanging on my legs and crying while I would try to do the simplest tasks, and was waking every 1.5-2 hours at night. And me? I was anxiety-ridden, discouraged, overwhelmed and completely burnt out. Thank God for Anne-Marie! With her help, mealtimes are now much easier and more enjoyable, our baby no longer hits, she plays independently up to ONE HOUR, and she’s sleeping 6-8 hour stretches! Because of Anne-Marie, I’ve learned to make myself a priority again. I am now more relaxed, confident, and refreshed! I don’t live stressed out anymore! I now have the tools to take care of myself and my baby all while enjoying motherhood again! Do this for yourself and your family! Anne-Marie is kind, non-judgmental, patient, and a wealth of information! You are only ONE step a way from having peace again!”

“Anne-Marie is compassionate, intuitive, and has an incredible empathic ability to help others sort through difficult or challenging circumstances. Her wisdom and expertise as a coach has helped me cut through my inner dialogue of self-analysis and self-doubt; truly discovering my self-worth. Allowing me to step into my own confidence as an individual, a women and mother.
Now I own my worth, have established strong personal boundaries, routines and I am teaching my children to do the same with the many tools she gave me.
To say that I look forward to my sessions with Anne-Marie would be an understatement. We tackle the difficult stuff while still laughing together. Anne-Marie's manner is so compassionate, her attentiveness so resolute and her ability to get to the root of the issue is remarkable. I always finish my sessions with her feeling empowered and with a new sense of purpose. I want everyone I love to have the benefit of growing and glowing by knowing Anne-Marie!”

“I’m impressed that Anne-Marie has had twenty successful years working as a professional nanny and her wealth of knowledge that she has to impart to any of use who are searching for helpful tips. As the Auntie in ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, I am grateful to be a part of lending a helping hand to raise our littles and so appreciate her enlightening input. In listening to Anne-Marie during our meeting, I can recognize that our potty training efforts were on the right track, but we’re continuously sidetracked in reaching the trained goal by Lilyanna’s desire to remain in play mode.”

“I cannot stress enough how knowledgeable Anne-Marie is! She has given me so much information about potty training that mostly I had no idea about. As a first time parent, because of having no clue what I am doing, when there is a new transition for my child, I look to other parents without knowing if they’re doing the process the right way. How she explains how the process will be looking like is crystal clear, and she will go over any questions you may have with patience and no rush. I have to potty train my son and I was already planning on doing the exact opposite of what I’m supposed to do by following other parents mistakes. Thank goodness for Anne-Marie’s guidance!! It is obvious how passionate she is about coaching moms dealing with tough transitions with their children and how experienced she is with children. Thank you Anne-Marie for sharing your knowledge and experience with clueless moms like me.”

“Anne-Marie is fantastic! It’s clear she knows exactly what she’s doing and has all the experience as well as answers to help you in potty training. My son is currently a little over two years old, and while he has used the potty a few times, he now thinks it’s fun to randomly take his diaper off and pee on the floor. I don’t know anything about potty training and I am also 34.5 weeks pregnant. I did a webinar with Anne-Marie, and she was able to give step-by-step instructions for four days to teach my son how to use the potty consistently. While doing the webinar, she had mentioned it’s better to implement the four days of potty training after giving birth, not before. Toddlers sometimes go through a regression when a new sibling is born which is super helpful information to know. She also shared that the sweet spot for potty training is 2.5 years old. I will be planning to implement the plan within the next couple of months. I am confident that everything will go smoothly as long as I follow the plan! It is a no-brainer to work with Anne-Marie if you are struggling with knowing exactly what to do to potty train your little one!”

“Anne-Marie had some excellent tips for potty training. It is clear that her years of experience potty training children with a variety of needs and dispositions has informed and helped refine her method. Having been through the process once already with my older child, we used a different method and it wasn’t entirely successful. This left me feeling a bit unsure and frustrated, so I was grateful to have the opportunity to learn more about the method that Anne-Marie uses. She gave clear guidelines and practical advice that I feel will help my son to be successful with the potty training process. I feel more confident and prepared to go through this process again with my youngest when the time comes.”

“Anne-Marie was so informative and helpful during her potty training workshop that I feel so empowered to start with my little one. I am a medical professional and chose to ask for help from an expert and I am so happy I did. Thank you for being so detailed and providing me with step-by-step instructions! Let’s do this!!”

“I have been dreading potty training for over a year and knew I had time until time ran out. Then I had a newborn and my almost three year old was asking to use the potty. Not the timing I had in mind. Anne-Marie took all the guess work out of potty training and provided me with the knowledge I needed without having to spend the time researching. She laid out everything, broke down daily what is needed/what to do, and shared personal advice. Anne-Marie is a wealth of knowledge as an experienced nanny who has potty trained many children over the years. Her tips and tricks for what has worked for her many times with different children put my mind at ease and made me feel like I could take on potty training and be successful.”

“Thanks to Anne-Marie for this wonderful and enlightening potty training class! We knew some things, but she solidified so many others. As it takes a village in my family, we are grateful her her years of expertise! It seemed to be easier and less stressful for us after her class presentation!”
— Patricia R.
“Lily was four and we were not making much progress in potty training. I loved the helpful hints and tricks Anne-Marie used and, after the class, we FINALLY got results! I never thought of TV as a barrier, but with little changes like adding books and removing distractions, we were able to make huge progress! Thank you so much, Anne-Marie, for the opportunity; it was such a blessing!”
— Bri G.
“Anne-Marie’s workshop helped me feel so much more confident and mentally prepared to potty train my sweet but stubborn toddler. The ‘boot camp’ week is set on our calendar for next month, and for once I’m looking forward to getting it done rather than dreading the process.”
