Finding Porpoise for your Child

Hello! I’m Debb.

Book an Appointment

I’m a Coach for parents who have children who think outside the box. 

Apart from my love of silly puns, I truly am serious about supporting you and your family.

As an out-of-the-box thinker myself and the mother of two kiddos who are also, I have learned a great deal about how to support children who are sensitive, anxious, and misunderstood.

My business exists because I wish I had someone there for me during the time my own children were surfing the waves of figuring out which school setting worked for them.  (More on my story later)  

Having children who think outside of the box is a blessing. . .but it can also be frustrating, confusing, and lonely.  If you are feeling this way I just want to say, I see you.  You are not alone.

Unfortunately some children can get labeled by society and not in the best light.  Sometimes certain ways of being are not understood by everyone.

As a culture, I think we are missing the boat here.  In my opinion, what makes each of us unique is our superpower.  

Back to my story…After feeling disheartened at public school, and seeing how my child was not going to be seen for the incredible child she was, I scoured the internet for any type of school in a 10 mile radius.  I found charter schools, private schools, student-led schools, schools with uniforms, schools connected to a specific religion. . . then there was homeschool which also had types: Traditional/School-at-Home, Classical, Charlotte Mason, Montessori, Waldorf, Unit Studies, Eclectic, and Unschooling.  Which was right for my child?  This sea of educational possibilities had me floundering.  

If you are finding yourself in the same place I was, I am here for you.  I took the hard, slow road of trying to figure this out on my own. But those struggles taught me better, more efficient ways to move forward. Let me save you the time and make this process easier for you.
