Hello, I'm Amy!

I have been married to my husband Mike for 13 years, and we have 3 kids together. With a decade of experience in the worlds of psychology, music education, and parenting coaching, I am passionate about helping overwhelmed parents find their way to a more peaceful and loving family. I decided to create this course to make my hard-earned knowledge more affordable and accessible to everyone! 

I curated this specific set of knowledge and skills after my husband had to work out of state for several months without me and the kids. The solo parenting was exhausting and I ended up having a major breakdown after becoming overwhelmed trying to “balance” everything. One day someone I confided my frustrations to pointed out that I wasn’t keeping healthy boundaries with my kids. I realized they were right - I knew better! That was why I felt so out of control and powerless. But why was it so easy for me to forget what I have learned while studying for my Psychology degree? 

I realized it was because of all of the mixed messages we get about parenting -

don’t be too harsh but don’t be too gentle either, be forgiving but don’t let them walk all over you, have clear rules but you have to know when to make exceptions, get them to do all their chores but also make time to spend with each of your kids everyday one on one, oh and feed them organic home-cooked meals while also spending 3 hours outside everyday and getting 8 hours of sleep for yourself

…overwhelmed yet??? I sure was! Even after reading stacks of parenting books and magazines and reading online blogs and watching interviews with experts, I felt like there was no clear step by step process…couldn’t someone just create like a guideline? Some step-by-step instructions gosh darn it??

So I decided to make them myself!

I worked hard for months researching and created a parenting course. I helped several clients one on one too! But in this harsh economy, a lot of people couldn’t afford my prices even though they wanted my help. And I realized that this wasn’t what I wanted -  helping only people that were financially comfortable. I want to help as many people as possible to have a clear, straightforward understanding of the basic principles of parenting so they feel empowered and confident in how to help their children become good humans. Which is all we really want, right? That's not too much to ask.

That leads us to the Tactical Parenting Bootcamp! It’s my most stripped down, fast and clear program that gives you 3 steps, broken into 3 parts each, that you can implement quickly to heal or enhance your relationship with your kids. And the best part is that these principles are eternal! They work for all ages (and all relationships) because they are based on the bedrock principles (that I wished they taught us in school so we could be successful in all our relationships in life)! I also included my go-to tips and tricks that work for all ages! And some age-specific add-ons will be dropping soon - so watch your email in the coming weeks.

I am so excited to have you join our community of parents looking for straightforward answers and clear expectations of what being a good parent means! I am so happy to welcome you to our loving and supportive family. If you need anything you can reach out to me at my main business email at

With Gratitude,
