It takes one strong mother to be a rockin' advocate. And, when I'm not advocating for my own child with hearing loss, I'm working with people that want to see all children with hearing loss succeed, advocates and allies alike. I unabashedly and graciously consult with parents, educators, and hearing industry professionals of all types. Committed to excellence in allyship and advocacy for children with hearing loss, I provide carefully crafted mentorships, consultancy, training, bespoke sessions, as well as articles for periodicals and blogs.
Our children are stars.
With your support and advocacy they will shine.
Parents / GuardiansEffective advocacy work takes time, dedication, and resilience. It also doesn't hurt to pay extreme attention to detail, and have a track record in strategic planning. Of course, it's not just what you have to say that is important, but how you say it. Resonating with your audience is key. So for anyone to actually care what you have to say, first, figure out who you are speaking to, and second, make sure you actually resonate with that audience.... You need a plan and you have to execute. Sound complicated? It is. But, I can help. |
EducatorsIf you are an educator preparing to have a child with hearing loss join your mainstream school or classroom, you may be confused as to where to start. Often discussed as only a communication issue, hearing loss is, in fact, very much an invisible disability with many nuances. When a child with hearing loss' needs are addressed, we witness the child blossom and meet their true potential. Be that school or that teacher who takes the little bit of time needed to understand the nuances of hearing loss and provide a truly accessible AND equitable environment for learning. |
ProfessionalsIndustry professionals greatly benefit from the family point of view to better appreciate the real life of kids with hearing loss, to improve programming, or offer their students a broader understanding of the community they serve. When you enlist my support, you get much more than just a mama of a kid with hearing loss. You get a solid background in Corporate Marketing and Strategic Communications and years of experience under the guidance of master Mindfulness teachers. A seasoned public speaker and writer, I've also got a real fire for sharing our story! |

I've been an active member of the hearing loss community where I live for ten years. Before that, I spent years in the corporate world in both Communications and Marketing Management. I'm a mindfulness practitioner, Yoga Therapist, and movement and strength expert of well over 20 years. Most important, I'm a parent of a child who is Deaf. There is nothing quite like the lived experience! And, when you work with me, you get professional skills and mindfulness tools, not just the sensibility of a parent!
