You are devoted, hands-on, and doing your best, but feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what’s working. Maybe your child is having trouble sleeping, experiencing emotional outbursts, or you’re feeling stuck in the cycle of trial-and-error parenting.

You may be:

  • Exhausted from sleepless nights and constant bedtime battles
  • Frustrated by meltdowns, big feelings, or behaviours that are hard to manage
  • Unsure how to support your child’s development in a way that actually works
  • Longing for more peace, connection, and confidence at home

If this sounds familiar, let’s talk. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

What clients are saying

“Thoughtful and Straightforward”

Larissa was great at helping us navigate some challenging behaviour we were having with our daughter. She was thoughtful in her approach and provided us with easy straightforward strategies we could use in our every day life.

““Important Skill Development “

We had been putting off getting help from a professional for a while and we are so happy we reached out to Larissa. She gave us practical easy to understand strategies to help with our son’s behaviour. Our son has developed so many important skills and we have learned so much!

“Expert Guidance”

Larissa was so helpful as we navigated a big and much needed change in our daughter’s sleeping habits. Being 3 years old, we knew to expect some challenges and resistance in changing her sleep. Larissa didn’t sugar coat things — she acknowledged it would be hard but very rewarding for everyone. She was right. It took work and consistency on our end, but with the guidance she offered, we are happy to report we are in a much better place with our three year old’s sleep.

“Sleeping Through The Night”

Our baby was waking up multiple times a night and we were exhausted. Larissa listened to our concerns and came up with a plan that worked for our family. Our baby is sleep through the night now!
